Bombas de agua de aporte

Hi,

I would appreciate your help with this term. Could it be "feedwater pumps"?

Context: (desulphurisation and denitrification plants)
"-Bombas de agua de aporte a tanque de proceso
-Bombas de aporte de agua desmineralizada al circuito de
refrigeración"

Thanks,

Robert

slothm Oct 17, 2015:
"make up water pumps" and "feedwater pumps" are both correct in the context under study. Both are feed and make up.

Robert, you will have to choose one of the two options, there is no way out and that is unfair. Proz should eventually do something about this valid duality.
