    Sea water lift pump

    Thanks for your help EdStainless It does not have to be a Hydraulic pump. I actually prefer to have a 90 degree gear operated drive. I already talked with Sulzer. They can provide the pump but they will not package it. I will talk with peerless later. Thanks

    Take account corrosión allowance in flange thickness? in a bolted semiconfined gasket conection.
