Pumps For Pakistani TPPs
Ganz EEM company (Hungary, part of Rosatom’s engineering holding – Atomenergomash) made two pumps for Pakistani TPP “Lalmir” and “Pakgen”. The NMN350 pumps supply water for TPP cooling system in the volume of 1200m3/h. “Resumption of hydraulic equipment deliveries is an important event for the company, which in 1990-ies was producing pumps for Pakistani TPPs. Hungarian equipment is efficient, this proves the fact that, besides spare parts to its operating equipment, the Pakistani side decided to order new pumps. Last year spare parts for MLB 1500-type pumps were supplied – earlier they had been supplied in 1997 to Pakistan, to operate at the Muzaffargarh TPP, and they still work fine”- said Attila Szitar-Csanadi, Ganz EEM Director.
