Sulzer Wins Order for Vital Cooling Water
Pump Kits From Forsmark Kraftgrupp
The Forsmark Kraftgrupp, part of the
Vattenfall company, has awarded Sulzer with
the delivery of six GSG barrel-type pumps
for the nuclear power plant in Forsmark,
Sweden.
The pump packages will be installed in the
independent core cooling system of the units
1, 2, and 3 in order to provide cooling fluid to
the reactor vessel in case of an emergency.
The three reactors produce about one-sixth
of the country’s energy consumption.
The GSG cooling water pumps will be
produced by the Sulzer factory in Bruchsal,
Germany. It is one of the few factories in the
world that is equipped to simulate a full string
test — including the simulation of the plant’s
system curve before the pumps are installed
in the power plant. The pumps, including the
driving diesel engines, will be qualified for
seismic resistance.
The robustness and reliability of Sulzer’s
products was a main criterion for the pump
selection. Sulzer has been manufacturing
quality products for the nuclear market since
the 1950s. The company offers its profound
expertise and experience in this area to its
customers.
