Pump Tank Stations

Integrated Water Circulation for Process Cooling

Pump tank stations serve as the heart of a process cooling system, combining water storage, pumped circulation, and flow management into one centralized platform. These systems maintain steady water pressure, support multiple cooling loads simultaneously, and balance flow across the entire plant.

Built for continuous operation, pump tank stations typically feature non-corrosive reservoirs, centrifugal process pumps, optional standby pumps, and easy-access manifolds for simple distribution. Many designs incorporate welded steel tanks, stainless steel components, and TEFC pumps for durability and long service life. Capacities range from compact, small-footprint stations to large, high-volume systems suited for multi-process facilities.

Pump tank stations ensure reliable supply water, reduce fluctuations in flow or pressure, and simplify the integration of chillers, heat exchangers, and auxiliary cooling equipment. With options such as automated tank level control, digital monitoring, temperature readouts, and alarm diagnostics, these stations support efficient plant operation with minimal oversight.

Process Water Distribution: Delivers consistent flow to injection molding, extrusion, molding machines, and other load points through well-organized manifolds.

Heat Load Balancing: Helps maintain stable temperatures by supporting recirculation between cooling equipment and process circuits.

System Integration: Works seamlessly with central chillers, cooling towers, and filtration modules to create a complete cooling solution.

Operational Flexibility: Stations can manage multiple zones, accommodate system expansion, and provide reliable backup pumping capacity.

Maintenance Efficiency: Easy-access tank openings, pump isolation valves, and clear routing simplify routine service and system checks.

Peak Demand Support: Helps maintain pressure stability during high-load events or seasonal cooling increases.

Pump tank station with industrial cooling layout

Pump tank stations provide a centralized source of circulating cooling water for multiple machines and processes. They stabilize water pressure, support consistent flow, and help maintain controlled temperatures throughout the cooling loop. These stations enable reliable operation for molding, extrusion, machining, and other applications requiring steady water supply.

Common pump tank station types include:

  • Open Tank Stations: Provide atmospheric water storage with easy access for maintenance and inspection.
  • Closed-Loop Stations: Designed for clean water circulation where contamination control and system pressure are critical.
  • High-Capacity Pump Stations: Support large industrial loads with multiple pumps, redundant capacity, and oversized reservoirs.

Pump tank stations maintain dependable operation through features such as redundant pumps, automated tank level monitoring, oversized reservoirs, and continuous water circulation. Pressure gauges, flow indicators, and alarm systems help operators quickly identify issues, while durable pump construction supports long-term, trouble-free service.

Important safety features include:

  • Low-Level Protection: Prevents pumps from running dry and causing damage.
  • Pressure Relief Devices: Protect equipment and piping from overpressure conditions.
  • Isolation Valves: Allow safe servicing of pumps and circuits without shutting down the entire system.
  • Thermal Protection: Safeguards pump motors from overheating and electrical faults.
  • Secure Enclosures and Guards: Reduce risk of accidental contact with moving parts or hot components.
