Datasheet summary

Ring section pumps MBN, MBN-RO

PDF datasheet mirror for Ring section pumps MBN, MBN-RO (Sulzer Pumps). Verify with OEM before design.

Summary

Product identification

The MBN-RO is a configured, ring section, multistage pump specifically designed for high pressure membrane feed service in sea water reverse osmosis (SWRO) applications. It is also suitable for other high pressure applications with clean liquids.

Main applications include:

  • Sea Water Reverse Osmosis (SWRO) applications
  • Clean water pumping stations
  • Any other high pressure application with clean liquids and low temperature

Operating limits

  • Pump sizes: 25 to 200 mm (1 to 8 in)
  • Capacities: up to 1,100 m³/h (up to 4,800 USgpm)
  • Heads: up to 900 m (up to 2,950 ft)
  • Pressures: up to 100 bar (up to 1,450 psi)
  • Temperatures: 90°C (194°F)

Feed water

The pump is suitable for applications with clean liquids and low temperature.

Mechanical / hydraulic

Features and Benefits:

  • Bearing assembly: Product-lubricated bearings at both Drive End (DE) and Non-Drive End (NDE) for compactness, reliability, and ease of maintenance, requiring no lubricating grease or oil.
  • Hydraulics: High efficiency, low Net Positive Suction Head (NPSH) impellers for all stages; double volute at last stage reduces radial thrust; replaceable stationary PEEK wear parts.
  • Flanges: Can be installed in side or top position; radial suction flange allows accessibility to mechanical seal and DE product-lubricated bearing without disassembling piping.
  • Shaft sealing: Integrated single mechanical seal at DE (low pressure side), with flushing from the first stage. No mechanical seal on the high pressure side.
  • Axial thrust balance: Achieved by means of a balancing disc.
  • Maintenance: All parts typically subject to maintenance (DE and NDE bearings, balancing disc, mechanical seal) are accessible and replaceable on site without removal of suction and discharge piping.
