ESP3 Chemical Vertical Sump Pump
ESP3 Chemical Vertical Sump Pump
| Brand: | IDP |
|---|---|
| Description: | The Flowserve ESP3 is a ruggedly built, vertical immersion sump pump engineered for demanding chemical and hydrocarbon processing applications. It features a reverse vane impeller and shares hydraulic components with the Durco Mark 3 pump, allowing for parts interchangeability and reduced inventory costs. The ESP3 is designed to provide improved performance, increased part standardization and a low total cost of ownership. |
Boasting the same casing, reverse vane impeller and CBL cover as the industry-leading Durco Mark 3 chemical process pump, the ESP3 is the only vertical wet-pit immersion sump pump to offer parts interchangeable with standard ASME B73.1 horizontal pumps.
