Ganz EEM is a machine-building enterprise in Budapest (Hungary), part of Russian Atomenergomash. Rosatom’s machine-building division today owns 51% of the Ganz EEM shares. The powerful MPB-2200-typed pumps with a pre-rotation device was designed by the company especially for the assigned station as a part of Russian target program for the development of atomic engineering industry. Getting the Grand-Prix as the best production supplier, Attila Szitar-Csanadi, the Ganz EEM Director, noted, that this program did good both to Russian and Hungarian side.

Innovative product
The awarded product is a welded casing power plant pump considered innovative by specialists. Compared to its analogs this type of pumps has several advantages: they are simpler, faster and easier to produce, which makes their price lower and the quality no worse than that of the rivals. Besides, due to the design, the producer can easily alter the device according to the client’s demands. Russian atomists already use the innovative product. During the last two years Ganz EEM supplied 18 pumps meant for units’ 3 and 4 cooling systems of the Rostov NPP, with the total cost of $17.8 million. Four pumps of BvDF-600 type arrived at the station, two of them already installed at unit 3. The batch of seven МРВ-2200 pumps was supplied in 2012; seven more are expected by the end of the year. The equipment is used in the NPP and TPP onshore pumping stations and is known to be able to supply water with an unprecedented speed: seven pumps, working simultaneously, can fill a 50 х 25 х 2,2 m. pool in only 22 seconds.

Double profit
Last October Atomenergomash and Ganz EEM signed contracts for pump supplying for the Rostov and Baltic NPPs, with a total cost of more than EUR 20 million. Today no one has doubts about the profitability of the agreement both for the client and the supplier. The Rostov NPP builders got a high-quality equipment, while the Ganz EEM stock of orders grew by seven, today amounting to almost as much as EUR 40 million, with more than a half (EUR 23 million) being Russian orders. Moreover, today the Hungarians can pass their experience to other companies, interested in partnership with Rosatom.

MPB-2200 pumps are not the only Ganz EEM’s awarded product. In 2009 a double-suction welded casing power plant pump received the Grand-Prix of industrial innovation in Hungary.
