About Pumps

Pumps are essential components in many industrial and residential applications, enabling the movement of fluids from one place to another. Different types of pumps exist, each designed for specific tasks, making them vital in various sectors, from agriculture and petrochemicals to domestic water supply.


Centrifugal pumps are among the most common types. They use centrifugal force to create pressure, pushing the fluid out. They’re typically employed in industries needing high flow rates and for water supply in residential and commercial buildings. Well pumps, including submersible, jet, and solar, are another popular type used to pump liquid from great depths.


Rotary pumps are positive displacement pumps that operate by the rotation of revolving elements--gears, vanes, and lobes--to transfer energy to the pumped fluid. These components create a vacuum at the pump suction, which draws the liquid in and pushes it out through the discharge as the elements move back into contact. They are especially effective for handling viscous fluids, though companies can use them with a broad spectrum of fluid viscosities. Rotary pumps are prevalent in numerous industries, including oil and gas, food and beverage, and pharmaceuticals, because of their efficiency, reliability, and ability to handle various fluid types.


Fuel and oil transfer pumps move oil, fuel, and other petroleum products from one place to another. Often used in various industries, these pumps create a suction force that draws the liquid into the pump before expelling it out the other side. They are commonly used in refineries, fuel storage facilities, and vehicles requiring fuel or oil. These pumps can be manually operated or powered by electric or gas-powered engines. The selection of a transfer pump may depend on factors such as the viscosity of the liquid, the distance to be pumped, and the desired flow rate.


MRO understands that pumps are critical in many aspects of life, from providing water in homes to enabling complex industrial processes. The variety of pump types and their numerous uses testify to their importance.

Understanding these different types and their benefits can help you choose the right pump for the correct application, thus increasing efficiency and saving energy.


As your industrial partner, you can depend on MRO's expertise to help you select the appropriate high-quality pumps from reputable manufacturers for your specific needs.
