Fire Water Pump Systems for FPSOs - Proven Dry Mounted Solutions

Dry Mounted Fire Water Pump System – A Smarter Design

At the heart of Fischcon’s solution is the dry mounted, hydraulically driven lift pump, combined with a diesel-driven booster pump. The lift pump is installed inside the hull below water level, directly connected to a sea chest, feeding a diesel-driven booster pump located at or below deck level.

This design allows direct access for inspection and service, removing the need for heavy lifting or caissons. Operators benefit from reduced downtime, improved safety, and lower lifecycle costs.

Why FPSO Operators Choose Fischcon

With compact dry mounted designs, custom engineering, and full-capacity witnessed testing, Fischcon offers a reliable alternative to submerged systems. Backed by lifecycle support and proven offshore performance, our fire water pump solutions safeguard FPSO operations – when every second matters.

System Configurations

• Hydrostatic Configurations (lower capacities) – Single hydraulic driven lift pump below waterline supplying the fire water ring main.
• Diesel-Hydraulic Configurations (higher capacities) – Lift pump feeding a diesel-driven booster pump in series. Capacity ranges from 1,200 – 2,900 m³/hr at 12 bar per unit.
• Skid-Mounted Modular Design – Custom-built for each vessel layout. Suitable for new builds, retrofits, and brownfield upgrades.

Engineered for Offshore Fire Protection

Fischcon’s fire water pump systems secure the fire ring main with a guaranteed supply. Each system is designed, manufactured, and tested in-house. Certification complies with the latest Marine Class Rules and Regulations such as ABS, DNV, BV, LR, RINA and more.

Key Advantages Over Submerged Systems

• Easy access – safe maintenance without complex retrieval.
• Space efficiency – components housed below deck, preserving deck area.
• Adaptability – installation in void or ballast tanks.
• Energy efficiency – horizontally split case pumps with low NPSH.
• Lower costs – no caissons or complex offshore structures.
• Reduced maintenance – simplified access means less downtime.
