Next-generation side channel pump technology for demanding process and marine applications

With more than 125 years of engineering expertise, SERO PumpSystems continues to set new standards in side channel pump technology. The latest pump generations – SHP220 and SLP Series – demonstrate the company’s commitment to providing safe, efficient, and reliable solutions for demanding applications in oil and gas, petrochemical, energy, and marine industries.

SHP220 – Engineered for Ammonia and Critical Liquefied Media

The SHP220 represents the next generation of SERO’s high-pressure side channel pump series. It has been developed for the transfer of ammonia (NH₃) and other low-viscosity process liquids under challenging suction conditions.

Its multi-stage barrel design ensures pulsation-free, constant-pressure operation at high differential pressures, while low NPSH requirements enable secure system integration even with limited inlet heights. Designed in accordance with API 610 and ISO 13709, the SHP220 meets the highest standards for structural integrity and process safety.

Beyond process and energy industries, the SHP220 also plays a vital role in dual-fuel marine systems, where ammonia is emerging as a key low-emission fuel. Here, the pump’s high vibration resistance and precise hydraulic control ensure stable fuel delivery under the demanding conditions of shipboard operation.

SLP – Modular High-Performance Pump for Methanol and Alternative Fuels

Complementing the SHP range, the SLP series was developed as a flexible, high-performance side channel pump for the transfer of methanol, propane, and other low-viscosity or vapor-laden liquids.

Its hydraulic design enables pulsation-free delivery at differential pressures up to 40 bar, while extremely low NPSH values starting from 0.3 m ensure reliable operation even with two-phase media. Fully compatible with frequency inverters, the SLP maintains constant pressure across a wide flow range, providing operational flexibility in dynamic process environments.

In marine applications, the SLP supports the transfer of methanol in modern dual-fuel propulsion systems, where stability, precision, and safety are crucial. This makes it an ideal solution for shipbuilders and operators seeking robust pump technology for the transition to alternative fuels such as methanol.

Designed for the Future of Energy and Industry

Whether in refineries, chemical plants, power generation, or onboard energy systems, SERO’s latest side channel pump designs combine the advantages of low-flow, high-head technology with superior gas-handling capability.

Their compact, vibration-resistant construction and compliance with international safety and quality standards make them the preferred choice wherever performance and reliability are mission-critical.

With the SHP220 and SLP series, SERO PumpSystems delivers the next step in side channel pump innovation, supporting industrial and marine operators alike in achieving greater efficiency, safety, and sustainability in the era of energy transition.
