Packaged diesel and electric fire pump systems designed to meet project requirements across industrial, commercial, and infrastructure applications.
Fire Protection, Built to Perform
What We Offer
Packaged Fire Pump Systems
For projects requiring simplified installation and reduced on-site assembly, Orbis offers packaged fire pump systems. These units are pre-configured and assembled on a common base, allowing for faster deployment and reduced installation complexity.
Packaged systems are especially suited for international projects, modular installations, and locations with limited on-site resources.
Typical configuration includes:
- Main pump (diesel or electric)
- Jockey pump
- Integrated piping and valves
- Base frame or skid assembly
- Pre-wired control components (where applicable)
Diesel Fire Pump Systems
Diesel-driven fire pumps are typically used as the primary source of fire protection where reliability is critical and electrical supply may be limited or unreliable.
These systems operate independently of external power and are commonly specified for industrial facilities, infrastructure projects, and remote installations.
Typical configuration includes:
- Diesel engine-driven pump assembly
- Integrated fuel tank (base or remote)
- Exhaust system and cooling components
- Battery set with charger and control system
- Controller (UL or non-UL options available)
Electric Fire Pump Systems
Electric fire pumps offer a reliable and efficient solution in environments with stable and consistent power supply. They are commonly used in commercial buildings, data centers, and controlled industrial settings.
These systems provide lower maintenance requirements compared to diesel units and are often selected for applications where noise, emissions, and simplicity are considerations.
Typical configuration includes:
- Electric motor-driven pump
- Fire pump controller (UL / non-UL)
- Power connection and protection components
- Pressure monitoring and system integration
Technical Snapshot
Typical operating range:
- Flow: 50 to 2500 GPM
- Pressure: 6 to 14 bar (87 to 203 psi)
- Speed reference: 50 Hz / 2900 rpm (where applicable)
Pump configurations include end suction, horizontal split case, vertical in-line, and multistage arrangements depending on system duty and layout.
Systems are base-mounted and supplied with:
- Pump and driver
- Controller
- Jockey pump
- Valves, piping, and pressure devices
Configuration is based on required flow, pressure, system type, and installation conditions. Systems are designed in line with recognized practices, including NFPA 20 where applicable.
Pump Types
End Suction Pumps
Compact and cost-effective, end suction pumps are typically used in smaller fire protection systems. They are easy to install and maintain, making them a common choice for commercial and light industrial applications.
Horizontal Split Case Pumps
Designed for higher flow and long-term reliability, split case pumps are used in larger systems where performance and efficiency are critical. Their design allows for easier maintenance and consistent operation over time.
Vertical Turbine Pumps
Used when the water source is below ground, such as tanks or wells. Vertical turbine pumps are built for applications where suction conditions require the pump to be installed above the water supply.
Applications
- Industrial facilities and manufacturing plants
- Warehouses and logistics centers
- Commercial buildings and office complexes
- High-rise and residential developments
- Hospitals and healthcare facilities
- Data centers and critical infrastructure
- Petrochemical and energy installations
- Power generation facilities
- Airports and transportation hubs
- Marine and port facilities
