Pump Systems

E4 Industrial supplies centrifugal, positive displacement, vacuum, and specialty pumps for refining, petrochemical, midstream, chemical, and heavy industrial facilities, while supporting retrofit, reliability, and infrastructure projects across energy, utility, and select municipal sectors

Our focus is on application-correct pump selection, not catalog-driven sales.

We help customers choose pump designs, materials, and operating envelopes that align with real system conditions — improving reliability, efficiency, and long-term performance.

Whether the requirement is a direct replacement, a service upgrade, or a complete pumping solution, E4 supports pump procurement with sound engineering judgment and practical field experience.

Centrifugal Pumps

Centrifugal pumps represent the industry standard for high-capacity fluid movement across refining, process, power, and infrastructure environments

They move fluid by imparting velocity through a rotating impeller and converting that velocity into pressure within the casing.

Because of their simplicity, scalability, and tolerance for continuous operation, centrifugal pumps dominate water, HVAC, utility, chemical, and general process services.

Centrifugal Pump Types We Supply

OverhungCentrifugal Pumps (OH)

The most common centrifugal pump architecture in service today.

End suction, inline, close-coupled, and frame-mounted designs

ANSI B73.1, ISO 2858 / 5199, and API 610 overhung configurations

Widely used for utility water, process transfer, cooling water, HVAC, and general services

Between-BearingsCentrifugal Pumps (BB)

Selected for higher power, higher head, and critical continuous duty.

Impeller supported between bearings for improved rotor stability

Suitable for large process units and severe operating conditions

Common in refineries, pipelines, boiler feed, and major industrial services

API 610 BB-type designs

VerticalCentrifugal Pumps (VS)

Used when suction conditions or site layout
require a vertical configuration.

List items:

Vertical turbine, vertical sump, and vertical inline designs

Favorable suction characteristics and minimal footprint

Common in municipal water systems, cooling water, firewater, lift stations, and sumps

Hydraulic Classifications

Radial flow — higher head, moderate flow

Mixed flow — medium head, higher flow

Axial flow — very high flow, low head

Key Selection Considerations :

Pump curve and operating range relative to BEP

NPSH available versus required

Materials of construction

Mechanical seal and bearing arrangements

Duty cycle and expected service life

Positive Displacement (PD) Pumps

  • Positive displacement pumps move fluid by trapping and mechanically displacing a fixed volume per cycle.
  • Flow is largely independent of discharge pressure, making PD pumps well suited for high-pressure, high-viscosity, and precise-flow applications.
  • PD pumps must be intentionally selected and protected, as they will continue to build pressure if system resistance increases.

Positive Displacement Pump Types We Supply

Gear Pumps

  • Compact, high-pressure capability
  • Best suited for clean, viscous fluids
  • Common in oil, fuel, lubrication, and chemical services

Screw Pumps (Single, Twin, and Triple
Screw)

  • Smooth, low-pulsation flow
  • Excellent for high-viscosity and shear-sensitive fluids
  • Used in crude oil transfer, pipelines, polymers, and fuel
    systems

Vane Pumps

Self-priming with good suction performance

Common in fuel and light hydrocarbon services

Progressing Cavity Pumps

Capable of handling slurries, sludge, and solids

Fluid characteristics and service conditions

Diaphragm and Metering Pumps

  • Leak-free design suitable for aggressive or hazardous fluids
  • Used for chemical dosing and injection services

Piston and Plunger Pumps

  • Extremely high pressure capability
  • Applied in boiler feed, hydrostatic testing, and high-pressure
    injection services

Key Selection Considerations

Overpressure protection and relief requirements

Fluid viscosity and solids content

Pulsation characteristics

Speed-based flow control

Maintenance access and wear components

Vacuum Pumps

  • Vacuum pumps are used to remove gas from a system, creating pressure below atmospheric conditions.
  • They are applied where air or vapor removal is required for process operation rather than liquid transfer.

Vacuum Pump Types Supported

  • Liquid ring vacuum pumps for wet or contaminated gas streams
  • Dry screw vacuum pumps for clean or corrosive services
  • Rotary vane vacuum pumps for light industrial applications
  • Roots blowers for high-capacity vacuum boosting
  • Steam jet ejectors for large process vacuum systems

Common applications include vacuum distillation,
filtration, drying, degassing, and condenser evacuation.



Specialty & Application-Specific Pumps

In addition to standard centrifugal and positive displacement pumps, E4 supports specialty pump technologies for unique service conditions, including:

  • Side-channel pumps
  • Multistage high-pressure pumps
  • Corrosion-resistant and alloy pumps
  • Sanitary and hygienic process pumps
  • Engineered pump packages and assemblies

Our objective is straightforward:

supply pumps that operate reliably within the systems they are installed in.

Industries & Applications Served

E4 supplies pumps for a wide range of
applications, including:

  • Energy production, refining, and petrochemical facilities
  • Midstream and pipeline operations
  • Chemical and process manufacturing plants
  • Industrial utility and balance-of-plant systems
  • Replacement, retrofit, debottlenecking, and reliability upgrades
  • Select municipal and commercial infrastructure projects

Where appropriate, pump supply may be coordinated with motors, drives, and mechanical accessories specified by the project.

We don’t oversell complexity.
We help customers buy the right pump for the service.
