In the past two years, the 550 hp engine on the 5069 series of pump have taken off, and now are a majority of the lead pump and booster pumps we put out. They have proven that it is possible to achieve 3000 gpm, and to live around 2750 gpm. They have also proven that more horsepower and more pump does not mean more fuel wasted, but rather less fuel consumed per gallon pumped. So what is next?
In prototype now is the PT 6089. More horsepower, more pump. Full details and specs will come out when the unit hits production, but for now we will just say we like to push the envelope.
This will be a later post, but all this will be controlled by a totally revamped system. The best pump control system in the industry is about to get a whole lot better.
