Pune, April 19, 2016: Pune-headquartered Kirloskar Ebara Pumps Ltd (KEPL), a joint venture of Kirloskar Brothers Ltd (KBL) in India, has successfully completed the manufacturing and testing of high pressure ring section type boiler feed water pump with 3.9 MW motor. These pumps are for 1400 MW greenfield combined-cycle power generation plant – Mirfa Independent Water & Power Company, Abu Dhabi (UAE).

The testing of high pressure boiler feed pump took place at Kirloskarvadi, which was witnessed by officials from various users and EPCs of the power industry. KEPL pump model 250 x 200 KBDH is an 8-stage pump designed for high pressure boiler feed water application. BB4 pump is a multistage between bearing, ring section and single casing pump designed for high pressure applications. This pump has a motor rating of 3900 kW having capacity of 740 m³/ hr and 1380 mtr differential head achieved at a speed of 2974 revolutions per minute (RPM).

The Mirfa Independent Water and Power Plant (IWPP) is a power and water desalination plant with a total combined net power capacity within the range of 1,400 and 1,600 MW of power generation and a total combined net water capacity of 52.5 million imperial gallons per day (MIGD), located on the Arabian Gulf coast, at Mirfa, approximately 160 km west of the city of Abu Dhabi in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi (UAE). This project will involve the acquisition of certain existing water and power facilities; the development, design, engineering and construction of new power and water facilities; as well as the operation of the plant.
