FMmPump
In steam systems, equipment level condensate recovery is challenging, especially when the condensate loads are smaller. Having a full-size condensate reocvery pump is not justified for these small applications as it brings down the RoI as well as increases the footprint. Forbes Marshall developed FMmPump, a highly efficient and compact miniature condensate pump unit makes makes equipment level condensate recovery from small applications also financially attractive.
FMmPump is a positive displacement condensate pump which can be operated using multiple media like steam, compressed air, or pressurised gas, making it versatile and easy to use. The pump’s energy efficiency is unmatched, making it a great option for those looking to save on energy costs.
After our in-depth study of focused applications, we have incorporated an in-built receiver for condensate which eliminates the need for a separate storage tank, making installation and maintenance a breeze. This pump is ideal for recovering condensate from equipment with small steam loads, making it a cost-effective choice for businesses of all sizes.
- A complete skid mounted and insulated package unit with receiver, motive steam line and check valve at outlet. This makes FMmPump easy to commission.
- Tested for 1 million cycles of operation
- Compact design makes it light on floor-space.

Frequently Asked Questions.
The best solution for long-route condensate recovery involves using condensate pumping systems, insulated piping to minimize heat loss, properly sized flash vessels for steam recovery, dedicated return lines with steam traps, and automated monitoring to ensure efficiency and prevent issues.
Condensate from small steam loads can be recovered by using small, pressure-powered pumps to to collect and transport condensate.
The FMmPump uses motive steam, compressed air, or pressurised gas to pump condensate, consuming only 3 kg of steam or 22 SCF of air per ton of condensate pumped. Its design facilitates condensate recovery at 100°C, retaining the thermal energy in the condensate and reducing energy waste, unlike conventional centrifugal pumps.
