In September 2017, Castle Pumps will be returning to the SPE Offshore exhibition in Aberdeen. Exhibiting alongside Spanish manufacturer and pump supplier Azcue Pumps, we will be showcasing a range of marine pumps such as centrifugal, vertical inline, side channel and screw. The exhibition is recognised by professionals worldwide as the leading E&P event in Europe and over 50,000 attendees are expected this year.
As the UK agent for Azcue pumps, we want to ensure that we can meet our customers’ demands as accurately and efficiently as possible. To facilitate this, we are now holding a number of the most popular Azcue pump models in stock at our 14,000 sq. ft warehouse, meaning shorter lead times, faster dispatch and customer deadlines that can easily be met.
Back in December 2015, Castle Pumps posted a news story on how support was growing for the International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships’ Ballast Water and Sediments (BWM Convention) and how this would impact the marine industry. At this point, Morocco and Indonesia had just formally given their approval and signed the convention. Finland have now signed which puts the convention into force.

With the ongoing and growing issue of global warming, alternative energy sources have been developed, all of which have applications that require pumps. Here at Castle Pumps we offer a variety of pumping solutions required by these energy sources. Sea water pumps, screw pumps and supplies for the anaerobic digestion market are just a few examples of what we have been supplying to the alternative energy market.
A failing or broken down pump can have a huge impact on a company, and here at Castle Pumps we understand that this can not only cause financial problems, but also problems with your company's reputation. Therefore, we pride ourselves on supplying pumping solutions that are built to withstand even the harshest of environments, so that the chances of a pump breaking down or failing are reduced.
The Ballast Water Management Convention has recently been backed by Indonesia and Morocco - the latest nations to sign their support for the management of ballast water being discharged from ships. This backing has resulted in a feeling of anticipation for those working within the marine industry, as this new backing could be the tipping point for putting this convention into force.
Reducing energy consumption is an important factor in the marine and offshore industry. Pumping systems on board vessel's continuously operate beyond their standard working requirements - a feature designed for worst-case scenarios - meaning energy consumption is above the norm. AC frequency inverters can be installed to control pump speed and furthermore, the ship's energy consumption - which in result can provide huge savings on energy costs.
Castle Pumps have been shortlisted for two business awards in Nottinghamshire - as part of the East Midlands Chamber's 2015 Business Awards. The two awards are 'Export Business of the Year' and 'Best Use of Technology to Improve Business Performance' - and the winners will be announced at the black-tie gala dinner in September.
The pump plays a vital role in most industrial operations, whether this be in a manufacturing plant, water treatment works, on board a vessel or in an oil refinery. Due to the importance and constant working of such an asset, the cost of running and maintaining can be a large overhead on top of the initial investment. For this reason, pump operators should consider ways in which they can reduce their pump’s overall cost of ownership...
