The Versatility of Hydraulic Submersible Pumps

For projects that require open pumping in conjunction with a wellpoint system, this pump is a good fit because it can be used to install the wellpoints and then as the open pit pump. This reduces the need for a secondary jet pump that will either sit on the jobsite until the project is complete or be transported back without any additional work. Due to the light weight and flexibility, the pump can also be more easily moved to the location where the work is occurring.

For heavy sludge materials such as drilling muds, the material handling pump is very good at overcoming the flow resistance and transferring the fluid. A good example is where casings are being drilled and the hole is stabilized with drilling mud. The pump can be used to transfer the drilling mud into the hole from the tank, and then used in the hole to circulate the mud, and then transfer back to the solids control equipment.

Overall hydraulic submersible pumps are a good option in a number of applications due to its size, their performance, and the flexibility in installation.
