What are the applications of vertical turbine pumps?

A vertical turbine pump (VTP) is a type of rotodynamic pump that use radial or modified radial flow impellers in a vertical configuration. VTPs are typically multistage pumps with several levels of impellers encased in a bowl assembly, and can further be classified as deep well or short set pumps. Image 1 (left). Deep well VTP.

(VTP) is a type of rotodynamic pump that use radial or modified radial flow impellers in a vertical configuration. VTPs are typically multistage pumps with several levels of impellers encased in a bowl assembly, and can further be classified as deep well or short set pumps.A deep well turbine is usually installed in a drilled well with the first stage impeller laying below the water level of the pump. These pumps are self-priming, typically a multistage assembly, and are primarily used to transport water. The multistage assembly of a deep well turbine pump can be seen in Image 1. Transporting water from deep wells to the surface is the primary application of these pumps. These pumps transport water to treatment plants, irrigation sprinklers and to faucets in homes. Short set pumps operate very similarly to deep well pumps. Short set pumps will often operate in water pits and typically have a maximum length of 40 feet as shown in Image 2. Additionally VTPs can be installed in a suction barrel or can that is installed below ground level to provide additional suction head to the first stage impeller. These pumps operate typically as booster pumps or other applications where low net positive suction head (NPSH) is available. Another unique application of a VTP is that the pump can be run in reverse and be used as a hydraulic turbine to generate power. When used in this application, the suction nozzle becomes the outlet of the turbine and the discharge nozzle becomes the inlet of the turbine. The efficiency of the pump as a turbine is comparable to the efficiency of the pump. Caution must be used, so please check with the manufacturer prior to using a pump as a turbine.

Best applications for vertical turbine pumps

When moving water, there are many considerations: Are you moving clean water or are there solids or a corrosive effluent? What are the site requirements? What flow rate do you need to achieve? to name just a few. Our FieldForce team are experts at choosing the right pump for the job. We provide a wide range of centrifugal and submersible pumps for use in the municipal, oil and gas, industrial, and construction sectors. Recently, we added SIMFLO Vertical Turbine Pumps for permanent pump station applications. Here are a few of the common questions we get about these pumps.

What is a vertical turbine pump?
A vertical turbine pump is a type of centrifugal pump that carries water up a vertical shaft from deep underground sources. Discharge may be above or below ground. These pumps are ideal for clean water in high head or pressure situations.

How is a vertical turbine pump used?
Vertical turbine pumps are ideal for permanent pump stations. Common applications include municipal uses (including raw water, finished water, effluent disposal, lake or river water intake, service water, well water, reverse osmosis, and more) and industrial uses (including water parks, snowmaking, cooling towers, dewatering, mining, HVAC/chillers, corrosive water services, and other industrial processes.)

What are the benefits?
Highly efficient at moving water from deep, underground sources, these pumps provide high flow rates with low power consumption. They also are able to operate at low discharge pressures. Because they must be submerged in a deep, wet well for suction, vertical turbine pumps do not need to be primed.

What are the components of a vertical turbine pump?
These pumps have a motor to power the pump, a discharge head to direct the flow, a column and shaft assembly to channel the flow, and one or more bowl assemblies. The number of bowl assemblies, also known as stages, determines the pressure or head and the size of the bowl determines the flow rate.

How are they engineered for quality and performance?
Manufacturers like SIMFLO use advanced engineering tools to design for efficiency and dependability, including:

• 3D solid modeling
• Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis
• Stress and deflection analysis using finite element analysis (FEA)
• Lateral and torsional rotor dynamic analysis
• Structural natural frequency analysis (using FEA) and design for variable frequency drive (VFD) operation

With manufacturing facilities that meet ISO- quality assurance standards and multiple testing facilities, SIMFLO pumps are designed for performance. Pumps can be tested with a maximum flow of up to 30,000 GPM and 1,000 HP electrical service.

When it comes to safe drinking water, SIMFLO's products and facilities go through ongoing testing to verify their safety and performance. Their 4''28' bowl assemblies have earned NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 and NSF/ANSI 372 certification from NSF International.
