The unit can provide a compression ratio (K0) of up to 100,000:1, which is exponentially higher than the rate of the highest-performing Roots-type blower (maximum 75:1). A single compact SIHI Boost UltraPLUS pump can replace two or three conventional competitor units while eliminating the need for interstage cooling.

In addition, the SIHI Boost UltraPLUS vacuum pump has been designed and built with all the hardware needed to take full advantage of RedRaven, a predictive maintenance service from Flowserve that improves plant performance by detecting anomalies in pumps, valves and seals. No additional sensors or other devices are required.
