One of the priority areas in the activities of NasosEnergoMash Sumy Factory Public JSC making a part of a huge mechanical-engineering HMS Group deals with supplies of highly efficient and reliable pump equipment for pipeline transportation facilities. Nowadays the enterprise is successfully collaborating with petroleum operators in Russia, Belarus, Ukraine and Kazakhstan.
NasosEnergoMash possesses extensive experience in pump engineering. First oil pumps were manufactured by the plant as early as in 50s of the 20th century. Starting from 1968, the plant switched to mass production of NM pumps with pumping capacities ranging from 1,250 to 10,000 cu.m. per hour. Totally for the decades of its existence the plant has manufactured and supplied for pipeline transportation facilities approximately 5,500 pumps, which successfully maintain reliable and efficient operation of the facilities in the industry.
Over its life, the plant has done a lot to sustain a high technical standard of its products complying with the highest international requirements, namely: use of materials for manufacturing base members in accordance with the latest engineering achievements, which improve durability and longevity; upgrade of design of the end closures and seals, bearing assemblies and box couplings. The plant management introduced additional control of the parts quality, etc. The enterprise has a QA7QC management system in place, which was established in full accordance with ISO-9001 international standard and accredited by the VERITAS international bureau. Pump equipment manufactured by the plant stands for the high quality, reliability and longevity. NasosEnergoMash Sumy Factory Public JSC is one of a few FSU enterprises, which are licensed for manufacturing equipment for nuclear power stations. The manufacturing technology applied to produce pumps for nuclear power stations is also used for pumps applied within trunk pipelines.
Nevertheless, as shown by the market experience, nowadays it is not enough to have these competitive advantages any more. The enterprise, following the strategy of HMS Group’s innovative development, has successfully conducted fundamental modernization of crude booster pumps. The modernization was primarily focused on improving the pump efficiency and its economical operation, improving the pumps’ cavitational properties, increasing their figure of merit and improving their life ratio. The new developments also sought to broaden the applications of the pumps to both in-door and outdoor use.
