Ptolemais V: DP PUMPS contribution in the decade's largest project


Our participation in the state-of-the-art lignite plant, named Ptolemais V, of the leading power generation company in Greece (PPC) constitutes a great honor and recognition of the continuous efforts and reliable products of Drakos – Polemis Group – DP PUMPS. 

This project was recognized as the largest project of the decade 2012 – 2022, with a special award, at the 6th Infrastructure and Transport Conference in Greece. In this industrial unit, exclusively pumps of our own production are installed. We provided 4 high quality pumps that conform to corresponding specifications in a project of crucial importance for the electrical infrastructure of Greece, as its electrical power equals to 660 MW. In this way, we actively contribute to the supply chain security in Greece and reduce the country’s dependence on natural gas, which is imported from other countries. More specifically, the following pumps were manufactured with the following technical specifications:

Four vertical mixed-flow pumps for the circulation of water for cooling (MV type), of which:

2 MVr 1520KM/1-1800/1800 functioning as main pumps

  • Capacity up to 25600 m^3/h

  • Total Head up to 25,5 m

  • Coupling with a 12-pole motor providing 2570 kW, extra high voltage 10000 V, turning at 474 RPM

2 MVr 850XVFr/1-1200/700 as smaller capacity auxiliary pumps

  • Design point for smooth operation (Q,H)=(5000 m^3/h,38,5 m)

  • Connection with a 6-pole electric motor, which can provide 800 kW power, operate at a voltage of 10000V and turn at 988 RPM

For 67 years, Drakos – Polemis Group – DP PUMPS has been actively involved in the most important and critical projects in Greece, enhancing modern infrastructure projects with its custom-made products on a case-by-case basis according to the special needs that are constantly emerging.
