Having developed the first concrete volute pump in the 1920s, Flowserve is a global leader in the design and manufacture of CVP concrete volute pumps. Made of prefabricated concrete segments for the volute housing and intake suction bell with a metallic pullout rotor, CVP pumps are integrated into the civil construction to reduce installation costs. These vertical dry pit pumps have a well-earned reputation for trouble-free operation with minimal maintenance. A testament to their reliability is the years of continuous operation reported by customers worldwide. They are well-suited for flood control, circulating water applications, and intake and cooling water supply in nuclear and thermal power stations.
