    Circulating water pumps supply cooling water to power plant components and require large flow rates and head. Common pump types are vertical wet pit, horizontal dry pit, and vertical dry pit pumps. Circulating water piping carries cooling water between pumps, condensers, and cooling towers and requires large diameter piping ranging from 36 to 96 inches. Pipe material selection considers protecting against contaminants in water sources, which can be corrosive, and fiberglass reinforced plastic is often used for its corrosion resistance and lower capital cost compared to other materials.
