Reliable Fire-Water Pump Solution at Finnart Oil Terminal

The challenge

Finnart Oil Terminal faced a critical challenge: pumping substantial volumes of seawater from deep-water berths to an elevated tank farm. The existing system could no longer reliably deliver the required flow or pressure during emergency situations, risking operational safety and compliance.

The Fischcon solution

• Containerised fire-water pumps: 45-foot NFPA-20 compliant container housing:
  • Two diesel-driven fire-water pumps
  • One electric-driven fire-water pump
  • Each rated at 600 m³/h @ 16.7 bar
• Hydraulic submerged lift pumps: Three submerged pumps in corrosion-resistant AISI 316 stainless steel caissons, lifting seawater up to 900 m³/h @ 1.8 bar
• Integrated support systems: Cooling, ventilation, and 24-hour fuel supply for continuous readiness

Key benefits for your facility

• Reliable operation over long distances – up to 1800 m³/h at peak capacity
• Plug-and-play convenience – reduced installation time and on-site risk
• Durability in harsh coastal conditions – AISI 316 stainless steel and marinised diesel engines
• Uninterrupted safety – dual-diesel and electric-driven configurations with backup systems
• Full compliance – design, testing, installation, and commissioning under NFPA-20
