Pump Selection
The proper application and selection of pumps for installation and
operation in a piping system is one of the most crucial choices a power plant
system designer must make. As was previously mentioned, choosing a pump can
be challenging due to the wide variety of sizes, types, classes, and
configurations available. In addition to the enormous number of pumps the
designer, the design must also consider the hydraulics system, plant economics,
the space and maintenance needs of the plants, structural support,
electrical/control requirements, noise, vibration, and, finally, the acquisition and
installation of the pumps.

Pump Selection − General Guidelines
In any case, choosing a pump often involves the steps listed below:
1. Determine the need for pumping.
- this action is highly fundamental. The pipe system is examined during the
design process to ascertain whether a pump or a number of pumps are actually necessary. To
transport a liquid from one location to another, lift a liquid to a higher level, pressurize a
liquid, or circulate a liquid in a system by reducing system friction losses, one may need to
offer a controlled flow.
2. Prepare a piping system flow schematic.
- all liquid flow channels must be determined, and all system components
must be placed, before the system can be conceptually configured. This enables the
system's designer to comprehend and validate the system's logical operation and
calculate the calculations he needs to make to establish the pumps' hydraulic
requirements.

3. Determine the physical arrangement of the piping system.
- The designer can physically arrange the pump, piping equipment, and
piping system instrumentation and control devices within the plant to logically satisfy
the needs of the system once he/she has determined the need for pumping and has a
clear grasp of how the system must operate. In order to start the full analysis to
ascertain the hydraulic requirements of the pump, this stage is essential since it
provides the designer with crucial information, such as pipe lengths and static head
requirements.

4. Calculate the hydraulic requirements of the pumps
- The pump flow, head, available NPSH, required suction, and finally the
system head curve on which the pump will operate are all determined by the designer.
The liquid's composition, specific gravity, temperature, and pH will all be measured
and utilized to calculate the pump's hydraulic needs. This information will also be
provided to the pump manufacturer so that they can use it to make a pump that
satisfies the performance standards established in this stage or to confirm that the
designer has chosen the right pump.

5. Determine the pump materials of construction
- It is advised to consult the pump's manufacturer or other users during this
phase. The manufacturer can supply highly important information regarding the
construction materials available and suggested for an application using the
information determined in the preceding processes. The manufacturer may share
recent knowledge of a material choice in related applications. The pump maker can
provide information on material costs, material durability, production expertise, and
expected service life. To choose the right building materials, designers may also
depend on their own experience or the experience of the end user or operator.

6. Determine the pump trim/construction requirements
- The details of this stage can be found in a variety of manuals that cover
the various factors the designer must decide, such as the type of pump, the impeller
design, the type of shaft seal, shaft sleeves, bearings, couplings, and other accessories
required for a successful pump application. Once more, experience is crucial when
choosing these components. It is crucial to consult the pump's maker, consider the
designer's background, and consider user and operator preferences.

7. Determine the pump driver arrangement.
The following significant issues must be carefully studied when choosing a drive for
pumping equipment, among other system parameters:
• the duration of use of the pump/drive;
• acceptable time frame for reduced or lost pumping capability;
• the piping system must have variable pumping rates;
• importance and kind of speed control, automatic starting, or both;
• availability and dependability of fuels, such as electricity;
• parameters of the pump, such as its horsepower, torque, and speed under all working situations, as
well as the availability of drives;
• initial expenses, which include construction and other equipment costs;
• the total cost of consumables each year, which includes fuel, cooling water, cooling air, and for
electricity, the sum of energy, demand, and power factor charges;
• Any additional operating or inspection staff costs; 326 Power Plant Engineering;
• the price of maintenance components, supplies, and labor;
• And Reliability and quality of equipment kinds and scope

8. Prepare a comprehensive pump performance/selection specification.
-a thorough pump performance/ selection specification should contain all the relevant
pump design/selection data and be presented to the pump manufacturer for a submitted proposal. The
following sections of the specification ought to be present, however they are not required:
• Code requirements,
• Description of pump types,
• Pump arrangement,
• Pump hydraulic characteristics,
• Characteristic curves,
• Pump guarantees,
• Pump tests (shop and/or field),

9. Select and prequalify pump manufacturers for bidding.
- generally, in order to acquire a sufficient number of full and appropriate
proposals for examination, the finished specification should be distributed to four to six
prequalified pump manufacturers as available for tendering. Depending on the complexity of
the pumps or the specified number of pumps, the bidders should be allowed 4 to 6 weeks to
develop their proposals.

9. Select and prequalify pump manufacturers for bidding.
The following things ought to be taken into account while shortlisting potential pump
manufacturers:
• skills in production and experience;
• Financial stability;
• number of installations of pumps with similar characteristics and the same pump size (for example,
five pumps, each with five years of successful operation);
• extent of the engineering department required to support the design of pumps,
• design drawings and documentation,
• testing facilities;
• being able to offer installation and startup services;
• the size of the network of service representatives;
• ability to promptly deliver replacement parts;
• Extent of user references and ;
• Program and practices for QA/QC

10. Receive and evaluate pump proposals.
- It is important to do a thorough review of the bid after it has been received and
accepted. An examination of competing bids for the specified pumps constitutes a bid
analysis, and the winning proposal or bidder is typically recommended. The proposal price,
payment terms, general conditions (including legal issues), delivery of equipment,
escalation, user/operator allowance for funds (cost of money) during equipment installation
and plant construction (AFUDC), differential operating costs, and cost of electrical/fuel
power losses are all things that need to be taken into account when analyzing bids. The pump
proposals' annual running expenses are typically stated as capital equivalent costs. In some
circumstances, the specification will include the equivalent capital cost of power or fuel
losses that will be considered in the proposal evaluation, for instance, dollars per foot of
head of pumping power.
