Petropedam API 610 process centrifugal pump installation at a water treatment project
API 610 · Process Centrifugal Pumps

API 610 Process Centrifugal Pumps for continuous-duty service.

Engineered OH, BB and VS configurations for oil & gas, petrochemical, refinery, power generation and water treatment duty. Select the right family for your process conditions and duty point.

Engineering Overview

Continuous-duty pumps for the industries that don't tolerate downtime.

Process centrifugal pumps are essential equipment across oil & gas, petrochemical, power generation and water treatment — moving petroleum products, process fluids and seawater around the clock. Petropedam configurations are engineered to the API 610 design framework, the industry benchmark for reliability, durability and hydraulic performance under demanding operating conditions.

Whether installed on an offshore platform, inside a refinery process unit, or at a water treatment intake, our centrifugal range is selected and engineered to keep critical operations running — continuously, safely and efficiently.

Understanding the Range

Three mounting families. One design framework.

Every Petropedam centrifugal pump falls into one of three API 610 configuration families, distinguished by how the impeller is supported and how the pump is mounted relative to the process. Choosing the right family is the first step in sizing a pump correctly for your service.

OH · Overhung

Overhung (OH1–OH5)

The impeller is mounted outboard, beyond the bearing housing, for a compact footprint and straightforward access to wetted parts during maintenance. The standard choice for general refinery and process service.

OH1OH2OH3OH4OH5
BB · Between Bearings

Between Bearings (BB1–BB5)

The impeller sits between two bearings, giving superior radial support and shaft stability for high flow, high pressure and multistage duty — the family of choice for pipeline, injection and heavy refinery service.

BB1BB2BB3BB4BB5
VS · Vertically Suspended

Vertically Suspended (VS1, VS4, VS6)

Mounted vertically with the impeller submerged in the process fluid — sump, wet-pit or column-mounted — ideal where suction conditions are poor or floor space is limited, such as tank farms and cooling water intakes.
