Spirax Sarco MFP14-PPU Vented Automatic Pump Packaged Unit for Condensate Recovery

Overview

The Spirax Sarco MFP14-PPU is a vented automatic pump packaged unit engineered for collecting and pumping hot condensate in industrial steam systems. This plug-in system is specifically designed to return condensate for use as boiler feedwater, improving overall steam system efficiency and reducing energy costs.

The MFP14-PPU operates using steam as the motive power and is available in single, duplex, or triplex pump configurations mounted on a common base plate. This flexibility allows the unit to be deployed in duty-only or duty/standby arrangements depending on plant requirements and criticality of the condensate recovery application.

Standard pump bodies are manufactured from SG iron, with cast steel and stainless steel versions available for corrosive or high-purity applications. The unit fully complies with the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED), and all welding meets PED requirements. Compressed air-operated and other bespoke configurations are available on request.
