Who has used super-large vacuum pumps, of any type? Seeking advice.

Centrifugal pumps, axial flow pumps, and water ring pumps are all suitable
The flow unit is hours, right? If it were really minutes, it would be extremely large; I doubt any manufacturer could produce such a thing: lol
3000 m3/min – it is unlikely that any single unit manufactured by a manufacturer can meet this requirement. With such high flow rates, a vacuum unit can be chosen.
Multi-stage Roots liquid ring vacuum system: just add more compression stages.
Multiple wet rotary vane pump systems should be able to meet your requirements. The rotors with the fastest pumping speed are Roots rotors. But systems like rotary vane pumps won’t work; such rotary vane pumps are unable to operate in pressure ranges from atmospheric pressure to 12 kPa

Its installed capacity is probably around 100,000 KW... If a motor is used to drive this pump, then a dedicated power plant would have to be built for it!
