However, it has been a challenge for the industry to find fuel pump solutions that can not only handle the extreme characteristics of these liquids, but also accommodate different fuel types without the need for pump modifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Introducing the new DesFuel Deepwell Pump<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The new DesFuel Deepwell Pump from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expo21xx.com\/environmental_technology\/10141_st3_wastewater\/\">DESMI<\/a> changes the game. As the world\u2019s first marine fuel pump designed from the ground up for all alternative fuel compatibility and flexibility, it is the perfect solution for Fuel Gas System Suppliers, shipowners, shipyards, and engineering companies looking for trusted performance and reliability, timely delivery, and global technical support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new pump\u2019s design is optimized for today\u2019s market needs, having been inspired by DESMI\u2019s&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.desmi.com\/segments\/new-green-solutions\/cargo-pumps\/\">cargo gas pump<\/a>, which has been proven across the global marine industry for performance and reliability since 1996.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a deepwell pump, the DesFuel Deepwell Pump provides significant benefits over alternative solutions: &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Essential components are placed outside the fuel tank for easy access and reducing maintenance costs<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; no special components or materials are needed for these, improving reliability, requiring less specialized knowhow, and reducing added heat into the fuel\/cargo tank (minimizing boil-off gas). It also ensures components are easily accessible without emptying the tank first, significantly simplifying maintenance.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Maintenance and repair without gas-freeing<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; the pump and drive shaft are installed in a caisson pipe, which can be closed off from the fuel tank. This means the entire pump can be removed, repaired, and reinstalled without costly and time-consuming gas freeing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>No need for filters<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; the motor is air cooled and the main bearing is oil lubricated, rather than using the fuel itself. This means that the pump doesn\u00b4t use filters to remove impurities in the fuel, which will inevitably become clogged, resulting in costly maintenance and downtime.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Optimized for low NPSHr<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; our pump specialists have optimized the pump\u2019s design for efficiency and very low NPSHr with the use of state-of-the-art CFD tools, which improves usability at lower fuel tank levels.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Ready for all vessels and fuels<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; the pump will be available in five sizes to cover all vessel types. It has a wide operating window to cater for different engine loads, reducing the need for recirculation and minimizing boil-off gas. The pump is compatible with all current and future fuels with no additional modifications.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Optimized for your process<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; not only is the pump perfect for fuel flexibility, but it is designed for easy installation and compatibility with fuel gas systems. We also support teams and departments globally with all necessary documentation, warranties, after-sales packages and service agreements.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For further information visit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.desmi.com\/\">desmi.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marine businesses operate in an unpredictable environment.
