With more than 50 engineers within our application engineering and R&D departments, we offer an exceptional range of skills and experience across major industry sectors. Whatever the challenge you face, you can be sure we will assemble a project team that not only understands your technical parameters, but your industry, too. Water Often operating 24 hours, 365 days a year, water pumping applications are highly energy intensive. In fact, pump capital purchase typically only represents 5% of the total ownership cost. To minimise both energy costs and CO 2 emissions, in 2004 we launched our Lowest Lifecycle Range. Customers are already enjoying operating cost savings worth up to 5% a year compared to conventional competitive units. SouthWest Water chose SPP’s pumps for where energy reduction and operating costs really mattered, resulting in energy cost savings of £70,000 a year. Running pumps as turbines (PaT) is an efficient method to generate and recover energy. In the current economic climate, where reducing energy costs is a high priority, the use of reverse running pumps as turbines is a promising and growing technology for small scale hydropower. Fire When lives are at stake, you can’t take chances. As the first company to achieve fire pump approval and listing by the internationally recognised Loss Prevention Certification Board, SPP Pumps today has more pumps approved by the LPCB than any other manufacturer.
Standard Products Our standard pump product ranges offer ‘fit and forget’ replacement solutions for almost any existing application. Easy to maintain, each pump type is available in a wide range of specifications – from all cast iron to internal hydraulic components in bronze or stainless steel. Our extensive fluid handling experience ensures, where needed, pumping solutions can still be tailored to your individual requirements. In Poole, Dorset, shellfish farm Othniel Oysters required an eco-friendly pumping system. The SPP Pumps designed solution has reduced noise, simplified maintenance and delivered a 35% saving in fuel consumption. A web based pump selection tool, coupled with access to technical training and familiarisation programmes offer further distributor support.

Many of our installations are still operating successfully after more than four decades in service.
It’s no wonder the sprinkler system protecting Europe’s tallest building, The Shard in London, is fed by SPP pumps. Towering at 309.6m, zoned protection for all 95 floors is achieved without using pressure reducing valves to conform to EU regulations. Manufactured in the UK and USA to the very highest quality, our pumps can meet the requirements of all major international standards, particularly NFPA 20. FM approved and UL listed for use in many markets including Europe, the Far East, Middle East and Africa, you can be assured knowing world-class protection technology is at hand. SPP Pumps has also been selected for the Marmaray Tunnel in Turkey, where our dedicated expertise really mattered. Oil & Gas Lost oil or gas production, even in a small facility, could cost an operation millions of pounds per day. SPP Pumps is a world leader in the design and manufacture of pumping equipment for both onshore and offshore applications. Superior design, precision manufacturing and high quality assurance has made SPP Pumps a trusted uptime champion both upstream in exploration and production, and downstream for petrochemical and chemical processes. SPP Pumps brought the first UK North Sea oil ashore in the 1970s. Today it’s product portfolio includes niche non- hydrocarbon applications such as seawater lift, intake, cooling water, ballast water and fire water systems. In addition, SPP Pumps offers a full API product range for hydrocarbon pumping applications.
