FMC Technologies and Sulzer Pumps Ltd Complete Qualification Testing of New Subsea Pump

Expanding a business and installing new equipment requires precision planning and timely deliveries if the start-up date is to be achieved. For one major business in the U.S. Virgin Islands, two existing pumps were to be installed in a different process, but before they could be started, control panels were needed and quickly.

Sulzer announces the inauguration of its new production lines in Easley, South Carolina. Featuring state-of-the-art technology and processes, the Easley production lines manufacture submersible sewage and grinder pumps using U.S. materials and labor. As part of Sulzer’s strategic focus on strengthening its local supply chain, the expansion enhances Sulzer’s ability to meet demand for vital U.S. infrastructure.

Sulzer recently celebrated the official launch of a brand new test and assembly center built alongside its existing pump manufacturing facility in Mexico City. The new state-of-the-art facility features a 10-meter-deep hydraulics test bed for large pumps, a digital monitoring system and a dedicated packaging area.

Sulzer celebrated the official opening of its new Innovation Technology Hub (InTecH) in Singapore’s Jurong Innovation District. The new 700-square-meter Singapore-based InTecH includes a state-of-the-art chemical engineering R&D test center, laboratories and small-scale production plants. Sulzer’s Singapore InTecH will test and deliver clean process technologies to enable sustainable manufacturing in the region.

Sulzer reports strong results for 2023 with a sales increase of 13.2% compared to the previous year and a marked increase in operational profitability. Order Intake in 2023 increased by 13.9% with all three divisions contributing to this performance.

After years of changing new casings and propellers every three months to their process pump, a metal industry operator switched their worn-out pump to one of Sulzer’s EMW slurry pumps at their melt shop. The client considered the change a leap forward in their slurry pumping technology since the maintenance interval grew significantly, pump efficiency improved, and the change reduced power consumption.
