Nomera fire pumps were developed for easy in-hull installation (rather than the standard fire truck installation) by utilizing multistage mixed flow impellers in lieu of a single centrifugal type volute. The size and number of impeller stages is determined by the customer's head (PSI) and flow (GPM) requirements.
Units can be constructed of stainless steel, steel, aluminum or Ni-Resist depending on the application.
Even though these pumps are designed for fighting fires, the flow can be directed to operate several other systems simultaneously. Bow and stern thrust, as well as main propulsion can be achieved. Each Nomera Fire Pump System is engineered for its specific job, assuring both dependable and powerful performance with low maintenance.
