Fire Fighting Pump: The Heart of Every Fire Protection System

diesel fire fighting pump for industrial fire protection

In a fire protection system, the fire fighting pumps plays the most essential role. Without strong and stable water pressure, sprinkler and hydrant systems would not function effectively during a fire emergency. That is why every building—commercial, industrial, or public—must have a high-quality and well-maintained fire pump installed according to standards.

As an experienced fire protection contractor in Indonesia, we deliver comprehensive solutions for design & engineering, supply, installation, testing & commissioning, and service & maintenance of fire fighting pump systems.


What Is a Fire Fighting Pump?

A fire fighting pump is a specialized pump designed to boost water pressure within fire protection networks such as hydrants and sprinklers. It operates automatically when the system’s water pressure drops due to a fire condition.

A complete fire pump system typically includes:

  • Jockey Pump → maintains normal pressure at all times
  • Electric Main Pump → activates during high water demand
  • Diesel Main Pump → backup in case of power failure
  • Controller & Alarm Panel → automatic control and activation

All these components must follow NFPA 20 standards for maximum reliability.


Types of Fire Fighting Pumps

We provide various pump configurations to meet different building and industrial needs:

  1. Horizontal Split Case Pump
    Highly durable and suitable for high-flow operations.
  2. Vertical Turbine Pump
    Ideal for underground water sources such as wells and deep reservoirs.
  3. End Suction Pump
    Compact and widely used in commercial buildings.
  4. In-Line Pump
    Vertical installation for space-efficiency in high-rise facilities.

Both electric and diesel drive options are commonly used to ensure redundancy during emergencies.


Application of Fire Fighting Pumps

Fire pumps are mandatory in many facilities with medium to high fire risk, such as:

  • Office towers and apartments
  • Shopping malls and public centers
  • Hospitals and medical facilities
  • Manufacturing plants and industrial sites
  • Warehouses and logistics hubs
  • Airports and seaports
  • Oil & gas infrastructure

Correct pump sizing is determined through hydraulic calculation for optimal performance.

A fire pump may not operate often — but it must always be ready. Therefore, regular inspections are crucial:

  • Weekly inspection and system verification
  • Routine electric & diesel pump test runs
  • Alarm & controller functionality tests
  • Vibration analysis & leak check
  • Fuel and battery maintenance for diesel pump

We provide maintenance contracts to ensure system readiness throughout the year.
