Reach the deep end with submersible well pumps Pump producers design well pumps with a narrow, cylindrical shape to drop down well holes easily. Use these pumps to de-water mine shafts or pump out oil deposits.

I recommend:  Baker Hughes produces Centrilift electrical submersible pumps, multiple stage centrifugal pumps that work in a wide range of applications from slim-hole oil wells and high production water wells to coal bed methane applications. Flowserve manufactures the Byron Jackson and Pleuger brands of deep-well submersible pumps.

Chop it up with industrial submersible pumps Rather than risk byproducts suspended in water from your manufacturing process coagulating and clogging pipes, install a pump with a chopper at the intake to pulverize any solids prior to pumping.

I recommend:  Vaughan Co. breaks up scum or sludge in municipal wastewater treatment, scraps in food processing plants or mineral scaling or slurries in industrial processes. D&D Machine & Hydraulics manufactures hydraulically driven, submersible digester pumps that can break up more viscous materials for the agricultural, construction, industrial, mining, petroleum and municipal markets.

Go with the flow with submersible centrifugal pumps Submersible pump design has developed pumps with open, flow-through bodies that can allow fluids with up to 70% solids to pass right through, good for mining and dredging operations.

I recommend:  GPM is the original equipment manufacturer of the Eliminator submersible and slurry pump line. Since 1960, Grindex has designed and manufactured electric submersible pumps for slurry removal for industrial, mining and construction applications.
