Permanent Emergency Pumps from BBA Pumps Protect Texas Refinery
Proactive flood control with an impressive pumping capacity of 40,000 GPM (9,000 m³/h)
In recent years, Texas has experienced repeated episodes of extreme rainfall and widespread flooding. Along with the economic impact and human toll, these events revealed vulnerabilities in water management systems around critical industrial sites. For one major refinery, it became clear that action was needed to ensure business continuity. The facility now relies on two permanently installed high-flow pumps designed to prevent flooding and protect operations year-round.
With a total pumping capacity of 40,000 gpm (9,000 m³/h), this installation delivers a powerful and long-term solution for water management.
For this project, BBA Pumps supplied two BA500G D675 diesel-driven pumps as part of a custom-engineered pump system. The pumps are integrated into a specially designed piping network. From the suction screen to the discharge line, every component is hot-dip galvanized for maximum durability and corrosion resistance.
The SAT was successfully completed and confirmed that the installation meets the refinery’s demanding operational and reliability requirements.
With changing weather patterns, stricter safety standards, and increased economic pressure, dependable high-capacity flood protection has become more important than ever. Permanent emergency pumps deliver the readiness, control, and confidence needed to operate safely under any conditions.
By implementing this permanent high-volume pump installation, the Texas refinery strengthens its resilience and protects its operations against the growing challenges of severe weather.

When Does a Fixed Installation with Permanent Emergency Pumps Make Sense?
We often receive this question. A permanent setup is the right choice when:- There is a recurring flood risk or consistent water threat
- Downtime leads directly to significant economic damage or safety concerns
- Rapid deployment is critical with no time for transport or setup
- Power independence is essential during emergencies, in case of diesel-driven operation
- Maximum operational continuity must be guaranteed
Benefits of a Permanent Emergency Pump Installation
- Always ready: no transport or setup time required when heavy rainfall is forecast
- Fully autonomous operation: independent from grid power during emergencies
- Dedicated capacity: units remain on-site and are not used elsewhere
- Parallel configuration: ensures continuous pumping even if one unit goes offline
- Integrated piping system: minimizes setup time and eliminates connection errors
Proactive Flood Control with Mobile Pumps Is Becoming the New Standard
Across industries, a clear shift is taking place. Where temporary solutions once sufficed, companies now invest in permanent pump systems as part of their long-term risk management approach.With changing weather patterns, stricter safety standards, and increased economic pressure, dependable high-capacity flood protection has become more important than ever. Permanent emergency pumps deliver the readiness, control, and confidence needed to operate safely under any conditions.
By implementing this permanent high-volume pump installation, the Texas refinery strengthens its resilience and protects its operations against the growing challenges of severe weather.
