For 10+ years, Northwest Pump has been a large Sullair distributor in Oregon, Washington, Montana & Northern Idaho. NWP prides itself on only carrying vendors that are top-notch and built to last, and Sullair has always fit that description for us. Their products stand up against tough terrain and some of the best in the industry.
Our Industrial Division started with tank farms and mission critical fueling systems for aviation and marine fuel transfer. Today, we supply pumps, compressors and positive displacement blowers for almost any application.
From clean water, asphalt and slurry, to sewage and chemicals, if it can be pumped, we have the pump to do it. We also provide equipment for compressed air, natural gas, nitrogen generation, and pneumatic conveying. Our knowledge of the industry and trusting relationships with our vendors have given us an edge over our competitors.
Who is Sullair? Sullair has been on the leading edge of compressed air solutions for over 50 years now. They were one of the first to execute rotary screw technology in our air compressors. They made history by teaming up with Dow Chemical to produce one of the industry’s longest-lasting compressor fluids. Now Sullair is part of the Hitachi Industrial Equipment Systems Co., Ltd. compressor portfolio. And other machines are famous all over the world for their legendary durability. As the industry moves forward, Sullair will always be at the forefront with quality people, innovative solutions, and air compressors that are built to last. They have centered our operations around three key pillars: Reliability, Durability, Performance.

When you walk into the headquarters of Northwest Pump here in Portland, you are greeted by our receptionist who has been with the company for over 30 years now. The best part about our business is by far the people and relationships that come from them on a day-to-day basis. We have a few main goals when it comes to business, and customer service is at the top of that list. The other parts of our business include employee growth, encouragement, education and relationships. Without our employees we would not be where we are today.
As we look through the faces that have poured hours on end into this now employee-owned company, it is apparent that Northwest Pump’s people work for us as long as they do because we all share a common goal that “customer service comes first”. Although the company and it’s vision has gone through many changes in the last 60 years, that goal has still remained the same since the beginning.
We would like to thank all the people that work for us and to all our new staff for joining our family. We would also like to thank those people that have been here for 10+ years and are staples in our yearly success. We have lots to be thankful for and our employees without a doubt are at the top of our list!
It is with great honor that Northwest Pump accepted one of the 2019 Industrial Water & Wastes Digest Top Project Awards on September 23rd at the WEFTEC Conference in Chicago, IL. It was a labor of love and a whole team effort that got this project up and running this past summer in such a short amount of time. A special thanks to our Lead Engineer, David Bynum, for taking charge of this project and working directly with PGE Beaver Power Plant.
Project Overview:
In June 2019 Northwest Pump had the pleasure of working on the PGE Beaver Power Plant in Clatskanie, Oregon. PGE Power is a 500-megawatt combined-cycle natural gas plant and 24.8-megawatt steam turbine that has been operating since 1976.
Northwest Pump provided the design, equipment, fabrication, and installation for the replacement of three outdated failing sewage lift stations. Each lift station was completed within an 8-10 hour workday as to not disrupt their operations. The job needed significant advanced planning as the remote site required safety meetings and special requirements.
Complete Demolition of old equipment and installation of new equipment within a 3-day span
Our innovative design of the guide rail system allowed a safer and less intrusive installation of the Quick Disconnect Elbows to the bottom of the lift station. Base elbows, piping, and valves are pre-assembled and were mounted to a common stainless steel plate. This assembly was then lowered as a complete unit in the water well.
New custom stainless steel hatch covers and control panels were also installed with an extended vent pipe. The extended pipe works to prevent personnel from being overwhelmed with odors from the lift station. This large concern was something that has been a huge help to everyone that works on this job site.

On April 17, 2021 card issuing banks will NO LONGER absorb chargebacks from fraudulent transactions that occur at the gas dispensers who are not EMV compliant.

What are the benefits?
1. Improved security (plus fraud reduction).
2. Reduced cost of chargebacks by avoiding the liability shift.
3. Customer card security.
