Form Suction Intake (FSI)

Form Suction Intake (FSI)

An FSI is a reliable design used to improve flow to the impeller in vertical pumps.   In addition, an FSI can be a potential solution for future applications with limited submergence for vortex suppression.  An FSI is also a great solution in applications where site excavation is limited.  An FSI can lower the pump length required which in turn requires less excavation at site for the customer.  This can provide a large potential cost savings to the customer.
