Dewatering Submersible Pumps

Dewatering Submersible Pumps

Dewatering pumps belong to the centrifugal pump class. The pumps remove unwanted water from sites, helping to dry out the location or make it conducive to construction and other activities. Submersible dewatering pump systems can be useful in basements, construction sites, flooded fields, or mines.

Industrial Flow Solutions specializes in the design, manufacturing, sales, and service of submersible dewatering pumps. We sell various models from BJM Pumps® and Stancor®. Contact our team to learn more about our offerings and which pumps best serve your needs.

Advantages of Submersible Dewatering Pumps

Dewatering pumps create suction to draw water into the pump and out of an area. Depending on the system and pump, you can expect a 2-to-5-horsepower motor to remove up to 650 gallons per minute. Typically, a pump directs the water flow to a discharge nozzle, reducing velocity and converting energy to pressure energy before expelling it at a 7-to-10-degree angle. Most dewatering pumps have inlet sizes between 1 to 4 inches; some may have larger.

The most significant advantage of dewatering pumps is their size. The pumps are small, compact, durable, and lightweight. We can design systems around any of our available pumps, from the Perfecta series to the XP-JX series.

Also, we have and can create submersible dewatering pump systems for every type of environment, from thermal environments to mines and tunnels. For example, the explosion-proof JX series is corrosion-resistant and made from cast 316 stainless steel wet end with no welds, making it among the most durable pumps in our catalog. The XP-JX series also meets NFPA (70), NEC, and OSHA requirements for Class 1, Division 1, Group C & D hazardous locations.

  string(879) "Boiler Blowouts: Renewable energy plant installs hi-temp slurry pumps to eradicate pump failures. Covanta Energy is one of North America’s largest owners and operators of waste-to-energy plants and other renewable power facilities. Their 60+ facilities produce electricity for about one million homes. The Covanta Dade energy plant in Florida processes 4,200 tons of municipal solid waste and biomass fuel daily. The plant burns that waste to produce electricity, boiling water to turn turbines that generate 77 megawatts of power. During the boiler blowout procedure, 185°F water is pumped from the system to minimize buildup of scale and corrosion. Read about Covanta engineers' pump solution that could stand up to 185°F water, was resistant to corrosion and abrasive sand and grit, and a pump that was available with the high head option needed for the application."
