High pressure pumps

What are high pressure pumps used for?

The right high pressure pump rental starts with understanding what the application actually demands. Pressure-critical work spans a wide range of industries and project types. Common uses include:

• Temporary cooling water supply: process facilities and industrial plants use high pressure pumps to maintain cooling circuits during planned shutdowns or when primary capacity is temporarily insufficient.

• Firefighting: temporary or permanent firefighting systems require a pump that delivers rated pressure on demand, without variation.

• Pigging: during pipeline cleaning and inspection, a pig travels through the line driven by controlled water pressure. Consistent pump output throughout the full run is essential.

• Filling and pressure testing: before a pipeline enters service, it must be filled and brought to test pressure. The pump holds that pressure stable while integrity checks are completed.

• Pile and sheet piling injection: foundation contractors use high pressure pumps to facilitate water injection during piling operations.

• Jetting in dredging and sand extraction: high pressure water jets loosen compacted material before it enters the dredge pump or cutter head.

• Industrial cleaning above and below the waterline: from shipyard hull maintenance to underwater infrastructure, these applications require consistent pressure at the nozzle throughout the operation.

Our specialists provide brand-independent advice based on your specific situation.

Diesel and electric configurations

Our diesel models operate independently of grid power, making them the practical choice for outdoor sites and locations with limited electrical supply. A significant part of the diesel fleet meets Stage V emission standards, applicable where exhaust regulations are in force on site.

Electric models are delivered with a frequency controller as standard, allowing the pump to run at its optimal operating point for the actual conditions on site. This reduces energy consumption and extends mechanical seal life. Several electric models are also equipped with a pressure sensor and PID controller, enabling automatic pressure regulation throughout the operation. This makes them particularly well suited to pipeline testing and cooling water applications, where holding a set pressure precisely is critical.

Both configurations are available for clean water, slightly contaminated water and 316-grade stainless steel models for mildly aggressive process fluids.

High pressure centrifugal pump rentals for every pressure range

All pumps in this category are centrifugal pumps, either single-stage for moderate heads or multi-stage, where pressure builds across several impellers in series. The high pressure water pump rental range covers connection sizes from 1 inch to 6 inch and reaches up to approximately 50 bar. For jetting duties in dredging and sand extraction, booster pump models suited specifically to those conditions are also part of our fleet.

For applications where contamination levels, solids content or required capacity point toward a different pump type, our wastewater pump rental, submersible pump rental and volumetric pump rental ranges cover those categories.

FAQ

What is a high pressure pump?
A centrifugal pump designed to deliver water at elevated, controlled pressure. Single-stage models cover moderate pressure requirements. Multi-stage models build pressure across several impellers in series and reach up to approximately 50 bar.

What applications require high pressure pump rental?
These pumps are used for temporary cooling water supply, firefighting systems, pigging, pipeline filling and pressure testing, pile and sheet piling injection, jetting in dredging and sand extraction, and industrial cleaning above and below the waterline.

What is the difference between diesel and electric pumps?
Diesel models operate independently of grid power and suit outdoor or remote locations. Electric models are delivered with a frequency controller for variable-speed operation, and several include a pressure sensor with PID controller for automatic pressure regulation.

Are these pumps suitable for contaminated water?
These pumps handle clean water and slightly contaminated water. Models in 316-grade stainless steel cover mildly aggressive process fluids. For heavily contaminated or abrasive media, other pump types from our fleet are more appropriate.

How much does high pressure pump rental cost?
Rates range from approximately €150 to €5,000 per week, depending on pump type and rental duration.
