Hydrophore PumpProducts/Hydrophore System
HYDROPHORE PUMPS
MOWE supplies, installs and commissions horizontal and vertical centrifugal hydrophore pumps for complete hydrophore system skid and hydrophore skid packages.
Our solutions are designed to provide reliable and uninterrupted water supply for marine vessels, offshore facilities, industrial applications and buildings.
Hydrophore Pump Systems
Reliable water pressure and distribution solutions for marine, offshore and industrial applications.
Hydrophore Pumps are crucial equipment integrated into a hydrophore system to ensure an uninterrupted supply of water to all required areas of a ship, offshore facility or building regardless of height limitations.
Hydrophore pressure pumps can be configured as single-stage centrifugal pumps or multistage centrifugal pumps, depending on the required pressure, flow rate and application.
Pumps can be manufactured using materials such as cast iron, stainless steel or bronze according to the operating environment and fluid compatibility requirements.

Centrifugal Pump – Single Stage
Simple, reliable and widely used pump technology.
Centrifugal pumps are among the most commonly used pump types and account for a significant portion of pumps used across industrial, marine and commercial applications.
A single-stage centrifugal pump consists of one impeller rotating on a shaft inside a pump casing.
The rotating impeller transfers energy to the liquid and creates fluid flow and pressure.
Different impeller designs and mechanical seal arrangements can be selected to accommodate clean liquids, dirty liquids and application-specific operating requirements.
Operating Principle
Liquid enters the pump through the suction inlet.
The impeller rotates and transfers kinetic energy to the liquid.
Centrifugal force moves the liquid toward the outer edge of the impeller.
The volute converts the energy into pressure and directs the liquid to the discharge outlet.
Centrifugal Pump Configurations
Different pump arrangements can be selected based on installation, maintenance and operating requirements.
Close-Coupled
The pump head and motor are directly connected without the use of a separate coupling.
Long-Coupled
The pump and motor are mounted on a base plate and connected through a coupling.
Vertical Inline
A vertical arrangement where stages can be stacked, providing excellent space-saving benefits.
Vertical Multistage
Multiple stages are arranged vertically to achieve higher discharge pressure within a compact footprint.
Vertical Inline Pump
Vertical inline pumps are ideal where installation space is limited.
Pump stages can be stacked vertically, allowing a compact design while maintaining efficient hydraulic performance.
Vertical inline pumps may be configured as close-coupled or long-coupled when fitted with an appropriate spacer bracket.
Their ability to provide high pressure output using a compact pump and motor arrangement makes them suitable for hydrophore and booster applications.
Centrifugal Pump Design Standards
Engineering standards define pump dimensions, operating conditions and mechanical design requirements.
How a Centrifugal Pump Works
Conversion of rotational energy into hydraulic energy.
Centrifugal pumps utilize an impeller inside a volute to transfer rotational energy into hydraulic energy. As the impeller rotates, centrifugal force moves the liquid outward and generates flow and pressure within the pump system.
Multistage Centrifugal Pumps
Vertical and horizontal high-pressure pump solutions.
A multistage centrifugal pump is a rotating device that converts mechanical and kinetic energy into liquid head. It is widely used to transport fluids in industrial, marine and offshore applications.
Multistage pumps are commonly used in refineries, oil production platforms, petrochemical plants, power plants, industrial facilities, agriculture and water supply systems.
These pumps contain multiple liquid chambers or stages connected in series.
Why Multiple Stages?
Each stage increases the pressure of the liquid.
As the liquid moves from one impeller to the next, discharge pressure increases while the flow rate remains generally consistent for a given operating speed.
More stages allow the pump to generate a higher final discharge pressure.
Liquid enters through the suction port.
The liquid enters the impeller eye.
Velocity is reduced and pressure increases.
Liquid moves to the next impeller.
Pressurized liquid leaves the final stage.

Technical Specifications & Engineering Standards
Pump systems can be designed according to internationally recognized engineering standards.
Materials and components used for drinking water applications may be selected to meet relevant potable water requirements, including NSF/ANSI Standard 61 and WRAS BS 6920.
Drinking Water Standards
NSF 61, BS 6920 and other potable water compliance requirements.
What is NSF/ANSI Standard 61?
NSF/ANSI Standard 61 applies to products and components that come into contact with potable or drinking water.
The standard evaluates the potential amount of contaminants that may leach from products into drinking water.
Products evaluated may include pipes, hoses, valves, gaskets, coatings, lubricants, adhesives, bladders and other water-contact components.
NSF certification indicates that a product has undergone independent third-party evaluation according to the applicable requirements.
NSF Certification & Compliance
Products seeking NSF certification undergo independent third-party verification, including relevant testing and ongoing evaluation requirements.
NSF-compliant components may meet relevant material or product requirements but certification and compliance requirements may vary depending on the product and application.
Other Potable Water Standards
Various international standards may apply depending on project location and application requirements.
WRAS BS 6920
The BS 6920 series of standards has been developed to evaluate the suitability of non-metallic materials and products that come into contact with drinking water.
The standards consider effects on water quality including taste, odour and microbial growth and support compliance with applicable water supply and drinking water requirements.
BS 6920 – Scope
Key testing and evaluation areas for materials in contact with drinking water.
Samples for testing
Odour and flavour of water
General method of test
Testing odours and flavours from multi-layered hoses, composite pipes and tubes.
Testing hoses used for conveying water for food and drink preparation.
Appearance of water
Growth of aquatic microorganisms
Extraction of substances that may be of concern to public health.
