SURV68™ pump system

SURV68™ Submersible Ballast Pump System with Optional OH4 & BB2 API 610 Configurations

Eureka’s ballast pump solutions are designed to meet the highest demands of offshore and marine operations. The proprietary SURV68™ submersible ballast pump system is purpose-built for both dry and flooded pump room conditions. Certified to IP68 submergence, and built to API 610 standards, SURV68 offers unmatched resilience, self-priming capability, and long-term reliability. 

As an alternative, Eureka also delivers ballast systems based on OH4 and BB2 pump configurations, providing flexibility for installations that favor traditional dry-mounted designs.
