Ruhrpumpen has been providing high-performance and reliable equipment to plant engineering contractors and operators of Combined Cycle Power Plants for more than 75 years. From utility water pumps and firefighting pump systems to boiler feed pumps and large diameter vertical cooling water pumps… we have you covered!
Combined cycle gas turbine power plants have the highest thermal efficiency in the power generation industry. This means lower-cost electricity and better care of the environment.
As the global demand for efficient and sustainable power generation continues to grow, Combined Cycle Power Plants (CCPPs) have become one of the most effective technologies for producing reliable electricity while maximizing fuel utilization. By combining gas and steam turbine processes, these facilities achieve higher thermal efficiencies and lower emissions compared to conventional power generation methods.

Behind every high-performing combined cycle plant is a network of critical pumping systems that support essential operations, from boiler feed water and condensate extraction to cooling water circulation and auxiliary services. Selecting the right pump technology is crucial to maintaining plant availability, improving operational efficiency, and ensuring long-term reliability under challenging pressure and temperature conditions. Ruhrpumpen’s extensive experience in power generation applications enables operators and EPC contractors to implement pumping solutions specifically engineered to meet the demanding requirements of modern CCPP facilities.
Reliable pumping systems are fundamental to the continuous and efficient operation of every combined cycle power plant. From handling high-pressure boiler feed water to supporting cooling and condensate recovery processes, the right equipment can significantly impact plant performance, maintenance requirements, and lifecycle costs.
Ruhrpumpen’s portfolio includes purpose-built solutions designed to address the most critical applications within CCPP facilities. Whether you require high-efficiency boiler feed water pumps, dependable cooling water circulation systems, or robust condensate extraction solutions, our engineering expertise helps ensure optimal performance across the entire power generation cycle.

Discover how our featured pump technologies can support your plant’s reliability and efficiency goals:
Boiler Feed Pumps
RP Models: GP Pump
At the heart of the process, the BFP feeds high pressure, high temperature water to a steam generator, such as Boiler or HRSG (Heat Recovery Steam Generator), so power can be produced.
Condensate Pumps
CPs are required to handle low pressure water leaving the condenser, hence this service often requires vertical canned pumps suitable for use on low or zero NPSH applications.
Cooling Water Pumps
RP models: VCT
CWPs circulate large volumes of water from cooling towers or other sources, such as a lake or river, to the condenser. Typically require high flows, but low head.
