BOP blowout preventer pumps and test systems

We design and package BOP blowout preventer pumps and test systems in a variety of formats to suit specific location, operating, and application requirements. All design and manufacturing takes place at our factory in Worcester, UK.

The high pressure pump has a space-saving, vertical design. Discharge pressures of up to 3,000 bar, variable stroke options, long time between services, and superb reliability make our pumps ideal for blowout preventer testing.

Ancillary Equipment

The optional self-contained mixing tank prepares the test water to suit the prevailing environmental conditions. A stand-alone accumulator skid allows the pressure to build to pre-set levels to provide adequate flow rates of test water into the blowout preventer. Our speciality is BOP test units requiring higher test flow rates and pressures due to our use of the triplex plunger pump within our design. We tailor control systems to suit your requirements, from basic functionality to complete control system philosophy. Options include on-board control, remote operation, system monitoring, fault finding, and data logging.
