Global Top 10 Industrial Pump Manufacturers [2023]

Industrial pumps are used for a wide range of applications, including:

·   Downstream (gas treatment, fertilizers, refinery, etc.)

·   General industry (includes desalination and mining)

·   Midstream (includes oil and water pipelines)

·   Power generation (boiler feed, condensate extraction, oil circulation in solar plants, water cooling, etc.)

·   Upstream (CO2 injection, oil gathering and transfer (onshore and FPSO), water injection, etc.)

 

Here are some of the widely used pumps:

 

Circulation pump: Circulation pumps constantly circulate water through the water heater and pipes—ensuring the progress of the water circulating in the system.

 

Rotary gear pump: Rotary gear pumps are used for pumping fluids with excessive viscosity, such as foodstuffs, oil, paints, and resins.

 

Self-priming pump: A self-priming pump is a specific type of fluid/liquid pump designed to re-prime itself under different lift conditions.

 

Sewage pump: A sewage pump is installed at the lowest point of the sewage basin to transfer sewage liquids and solids from one place to another. In addition, effective sewage collection systems use lift stations to “lift” the sewage upwards for further treatment and recirculation.

 

Sump pump: A sump pump is used in basements or crawlspaces to remove accumulated water from a water-collecting sump basin and help keep the area dry.

 

Trash pump: Trash pumps are typically used for dewatering applications and transport liquids containing hard and soft solids, such as leaves, pebbles, mud, silt, and twigs.

Location: Bjerringbro, Denmark

 

Founded by Poul Due Jensen, Grundfos is known as “the world’s largest pump manufacturer.”

 

Grundfos Pumps

 

Let’s look at some of Grundfos pumps in detail:

 

Booster set: Grundfos offers a broad range of booster sets for high-rise apartment blocks, hospitals, irrigation systems and other applications requiring constant pressure to meet varying demand on the water supply.

 

Circulator pumps: Designed for best-in-class efficiency with low maintenance and noise-free performance, Grundfos’ circulator pumps cut energy consumption by up to 80% compared to conventional circulators. These circulator pumps are available for heating, cooling, and hot water recirculation needs.

 

Dosing pumps: Grundfos’ diaphragm pumps provide accuracy, durability, and reliability for industrial processing, water and wastewater treatment, and other applications. Grundfos’ diaphragm pumps include digital dosing pumps designed for high-precision dosing of chemicals—enabling advanced process control and integration with system control.

 

Immersible pumps: Immersible pumps are immersed in the pumped liquid and typically mounted on top of or inside tanks or containers. These pumps are used in cooling units, grinding machines, spark machine tools and other industrial applications involving containers or tanks.

 

Inline multi-stage pumps: These pumps are typically used in commercial buildings for air-conditioning and heating applications. These “close-coupled” pumps have the pump and motor as two separate units—making them less sensitive to impurities in the pumped liquid.

 

Submersible groundwater pumps: Grundfos’ submersible pumps are made entirely of corrosion-resistant stainless steel and are ideal for diverse applications.

 

Apart from the pumps listed above, Grundfos offers other pumps, such as:

·   Encapsulated pumps
