The Karpowership project marks a significant step for IRON Pump in Turkey. In collaboration with our local distributor, NOVAR, we are establishing a strong regional presence as a supplier of cooling water pumps.
Being an internal provider of innovative energy solutions with more than 25 years of experience and operations in multiple regions across the globe, Karpowership aligns perfectly with our ambitions to become a leading supplier to the Turkish market. Karpowership specializes in providing floating power plants (known as ‘powerships’), which supply electricity to countries and regions experiencing energy shortages or infrastructure challenges.
In collaboration with NOVAR, we supplied CVLS vertical turbine pumps for two of these powerships and a powerplant. We were able to meet Karpowership's depth and performance requirements thanks to our customized solutions, emphasizing our ability to provide energy-efficient, tailor-made, and reliable pump solutions for both maritime and land-based installations.
Higher corrosion resistance and longer lifespan with duplex stainless steel
As power plants generate substantial amounts of heat, cooling water pumps must meet exceptionally high-performance demands. Our CVLS vertical turbine pumps are designed for a wide range of applications with a modular construction that ensures flexibility and enables customized solutions. The number of columns, stages, impeller and bowl types, sealing systems, and material selection are tailored to meet specific requirements for each project.
By selecting duplex stainless steel, IRON Pump contributes to a more sustainable operation, as this material has a lower CO2 footprint than alternatives.

The pumps supplied for Karpowership are made from duplex stainless steel, offering exceptional corrosion resistance and a significantly longer lifespan compared to traditional materials like aluminum-bronze. Given that Karpowership 's floating power plants operate in warmer climates, the duplex material is an ideal choice, as it reduces the risk of downtime while enhancing energy efficiency.
“By selecting duplex stainless steel, IRON Pump contributes to a more sustainable operation, as this material has a lower CO2 footprint than alternatives. Additionally, we are experiencing increasing demand for this type of material, emphasizing the importance of our continued innovation and focus on future-proof solutions”, says Jeppe Uhd Kristiansen, Head of Sales, Marine Pumps at IRON Pump.
Technical expertise and product quality
IRON Pump has supplied cooling water pumps to power plants and ships worldwide for years, building solid expertise in customized solutions. Our pumps are designed to operate around the clock with high efficiency and low energy consumption, which is critical for power plants, where downtime can be costly.
