Different configurations of design are available.
We don’t just design our own products – our innovation is market-led. We work with our customers to understand their needs and then provide the solutions.
Diesel/Hydraulic Driven System
The diesel/hydraulic is suitable when the main fire pump installation must be done above the draught line, typically in a compartment below deck in the fore peak. A hydraulic driven lift pump will be installed taking suction from a sea chest, pumping the water to the booster pump connected directly to the main diesel engine.
A system for such installation consists of the following as minimum
- Diesel Engine
- Booster Pump
- Lift Pump
- Hydraulic System
- NFPA 20 Controller
- Room Cooler

A full String Test is performed for the complete Fire Water Pump Package at our Singapore plant for all types of FWPP configuration. The String Test is performed in accordance with NFPA 20 requirements and includes a running test at 100% and 150% of rated duty capacities. The comprehensive test program ensures that the NPFA 20 Controller is functioning correctly in all required modes and that it reacts correctly to all specified alarms.
