NIOCOM Hybrid Range MST

The NIOCOM Hybrid Range MST combines the durability of proven engineering materials with the corrosion resistance of advanced composites. Where our fully composite NIOCOM pumps are built entirely from glass-fibre reinforced vinylester resin, the Hybrid MST range takes a different approach: a cost-efficient cast iron body paired with a non-metallic impeller — giving shipowners and operators a lower-cost entry point into corrosion-resistant pump technology, without compromising on service life.

The result is a pump built for continuous duty in seawater and other demanding applications, engineered to minimize wear, reduce power consumption, and cut long-term maintenance costs.

Construction

Every component of the MST Hybrid pump is selected for a specific role in performance and cost-efficiency.

  • Volute Casing

    Made of cost-saving cast iron, with a special surface treatment applied to all areas in contact with the pumped liquid.

  • Impeller

    Made of a non-metallic structural composite — the core of the pump's corrosion resistance and wear performance.

  • Casing Cover

    Made of cost-saving cast iron, with the same specialized surface treatment as the volute casing on all wetted surfaces.

Key Benefits

Extreme Wear Resistance

Prevents the enlargement of impeller throttling gaps over time, preserving performance across the pump's service life.

Maximum Efficiency

Minimizes clearance gap losses — translating directly into higher efficiency and lower power consumption.

Corrosion Free

No metallic surfaces come into contact with the pumped liquid, eliminating corrosion effects entirely.

Low Friction Losses

An extremely smooth, hard surface reduces boundary layer thickness to a minimum, cutting friction losses at the source.

The hardness of the surface-treated volute — superior to any cast iron material — combined with the behaviour of the composite impeller in the pumped liquid, achieves two things: it avoids the enlargement of impeller throttling gaps caused by wear, and it minimizes clearance gap flow losses. Together, these deliver the pump's high efficiency and low power consumption.
