Red Jacket Pumps in Kenya
Introduction
In Kenya’s growing fuel retail and commercial fueling sector, reliability and efficiency are
critical for maintaining smooth operations. One of the most trusted solutions for fuel transfer and
dispensing is the Red Jacket Pump, a leading submersible turbine pump widely used in petrol
stations and fuel storage facilities around the world.
Known for their performance, durability, and efficiency, Red Jacket Pumps play a crucial role in
ensuring consistent fuel delivery from underground storage tanks to fuel dispensers. At
Exstream Energy Solutions, we supply, install, and support high-quality Red Jacket Pump
solutions for businesses across Kenya, helping fuel operators maximize efficiency and minimize
downtime.
What Are Red Jacket Pumps?
Red Jacket Pumps are submersible turbine pumps (STPs) installed inside underground fuel
storage tanks. Their primary function is to move fuel from storage tanks to fuel dispensers at the
required pressure and flow rate.
Unlike suction-based pumping systems, Red Jacket Pumps push fuel directly from the tank to the
dispenser, ensuring faster and more efficient fuel delivery.
Exstream Energy Solutions provides Red Jacket Pump solutions designed to meet the needs of
petrol stations, commercial fueling facilities, and fuel depots throughout Kenya.
How Red Jacket Pumps Work
Red Jacket Pumps are installed directly inside underground fuel tanks and operate beneath the
fuel surface.
The system works by:
1. Drawing fuel into the pump inlet.
2. Pressurizing the fuel within the turbine assembly.
3. Delivering fuel through the piping network to dispensing units.
4. Maintaining consistent flow and pressure during fueling operations.
This design improves fuel delivery efficiency and reduces operational challenges commonly
associated with suction systems.
Exstream Energy Solutions offers professional installation and maintenance services to ensure
optimal pump performance.
