#2 Proven Performance in the Most Extreme Conditions of Antarctica

In one of the most remote and inhospitable environments on Earth, engineering reliability is not a luxury, it is a necessity. When research from British Antarctic Survey (BAS) set out to drill into the most inaccessible and least-understood part of the Thwaites Glacier Ice Shelf in East Antarctica, they relied on proven technology capable of withstanding extreme cold, isolation and operational intensity. At the heart of the mission's hot water system were Cat Pumps positive displacement plunger pumps, selected for their longevity, robustness, durability and exceptional serviceability.

#1 Pump Service for Pelican of London

Pelican of London, a UK-based youth development charity operating a tall ship, reached out to Cat Pumps UK for servicing two Cat Pumps 3CP1221 high pressure triplex plunger pumps used in their onboard reverse osmosis (RO) system. After being quoted a fee by another provider, the charity contacted us directly - cost-efficiency being critical to their mission. Although our service centre typically handles larger pumps (25 frame and above) we were glad to help.
