Barge VTP Wet Pit Pump

Specifically designed for transportation barges, the Flowserve Barge VTP continues to be the premier brand used on inland and coastal waterways. The Barge VTP is a vertical self-contained, self-priming unit designed for barge unloading and transfer operations. With the high-efficiency Barge VTP, stripping turnaround times are kept to a minimum. Furthermore, its innovative pollution prevention design inhibits costly oil and chemical spills.

  • Self-priming stripper stage operates efficiently at extremely low submergence levels, and will maintain pumping performance during operations which induce large quantities of air ingestion
  • Stator case provides smooth fluid transition to pressure stages
  • Bypass line delivers make-up sealing liquid to the priming stage during stripping
  • Enclosed impellers provide pressure for offloading
  • Access ports allow full maintenance of the stuffing box without removing the driver
  • Bleed off stuffing box diverts product bypass back to the compartment via a sealed return line to prevent costly spills
  • Multistage design meets a wide range of capacity and head requirements
