DewateringFast dewatering of a worksite is critical to productivity. Knowing which pump is best for the job depends on many factors. Job conditions and deadlines set different requirements for choosing the right pump type. When you need to move water at construction sites, in tunnels or mines, in ship yards, for irrigation and in other applications, we will help you to choose the right pump for the job.
Waters in fertilizers complexes
Cost-effective and reliable equipment for water applications
Water is essential in all plants for transport, washing, dilution, cooling, sealing and scrubbing. Depending on the application, the quality of the water will vary and so will the operating parameters of the applications.
Considering the fertilizer industry from the raw material to finished products, we distinguish the following water activities: mine water management, water intake and transportation, industrial water and wastewater treatment, cooling water, process water and boiling water applications.
To keep up the productivity of the mine, well-performing and reliable dewatering equipment is a must. Depending on the type of the mine and process, specific applications (e.g. drainage, booster pumping, stope pumping, active dewatering, shaft bottom drainage, settling ponds and sumps) with dedicated equipment are needed.
When fresh water is needed, the sourcing of raw water is highly critical and two main parameters have to be considered: the quality of the raw water, and the location of the source. We bring the water from its natural source to where it is needed and we also provide support for the analysis of the whole pumping system.
At the forefront, raw water must often be treated before being used in industrial applications. And at the end of the process, the treatment of wastewater is a must to limit the consumption of fresh water and reduce pollution as targeted by most environmental policies and legislations.
Process and cooling water applications exist everywhere in a plant. They require a complete range of standard and well-performing equipment. In the boiler unit, more specific equipment is needed with safety, reliability and efficiency being the keywords. To cover these various applications, Sulzer offers a complete range of horizontal and vertical pumps, either single-stage or multi-stage.
