Become an expert in dewatering pumps

Submersible dewatering pumps are vital in construction, mining, and quarrying applications to remove water, sludge, and slurry. Here are some considerations for specifying reliable submersible pumps.

Centrifugal pumps are versatile in their uses. These machines vary considerably in the technology that equips each one for a different set of jobs and circumstances. A careful choice is needed to ensure you optimally achieve your main dewatering objectives. Here are the key considerations to choose the right type of centrifugal pump for your application.

Electric or diesel pumps? When it comes to the choice of power sources, it is a debate that is becoming increasingly prevalent in the selection of dewatering pump technologies.

Through a series of design innovations, Atlas Copco has addressed traditional issues of inaccessible hydraulics and the need to disassemble pumps to perform simple tasks like replacement of consumables. In combination, these features can improve MTTR Mean time to repair up to 30%.

Head is the height at which a pump can raise fluid up and is measured in metres or feet. We use it when specifying centrifugal pumps because their pumping characteristics tend to be independent of the fluid’s specific gravity, often referred to as relative density.

Starting from 2019, Stage V emission regulation will be rolled out in Europe. This will have an impact on all diesel dewatering pumps. Atlas Copco is gradually updating all diesel pumps offered in Europe to be compatible with Stage V.

3 steps away from finding the pump you need!

One vital piece of equipment that can go a long way towards positively contributing to improved sustainability is dewatering pumps. Various factors should be considered, such as reducing downtime, improving serviceability, reducing emissions, legislation, and ensuring the pump is properly sized to operate most efficiently.
