Fire water pump package supplied for a CCS project

UK-based manufacturer SPP Pumps will be supplying fire water pumps to NZT Power, which aims to be the world’s first gas-fired power station with carbon capture and storage (CCS).

The project award is for a large, engineered pump house. The system contains both diesel engine and electric motor driven FM approved split-case fire water pumps. The fire pump system will be completed with a secondary start system, fire suppression system, OH2 pressure maintenance pumps, local control and other relevant safety equipment.

SPP Pumps will have 50 people working directly on the contract and the project supports the growth of its apprenticeship programme.

NZT Power will be capable of generating up to 742 megawatts of flexible, dispatchable low-carbon power. Up to two million tonnes of CO2 a year will be captured and then transported and stored by the Northern Endurance Partnership (NEP) infrastructure – the UK’s first CO2 transportation and storage infrastructure project.

“The NZT Power project is an important milestone for SPP,” said Tom Salmon, Group Business Development Manager. “Having the opportunity to work on a prestigious CCS project provides a strong foundation for our growth in the energy transition sector in the UK and abroad.”
