Sump Pump Selection
Sump Pump Selection
(OP)
I have a pumping application that requires brackish ground waters to be pumped from a sump 6m below ground level.
The sump area is hazardous and I do not wish to have Operations or Maintenence people attending this pump.
Can anyone suggest what type of pump would be suitable for this duty? Flow 4l/s @ 20m.

In that case, I like the electrical submersible pumps like Peabody-Barnes.

If air is a problem , then are submersible pumps. Check whether Lutz have anything suitable for you
RE: Sump Pump Selection
I have seen it in oil and gas operations where the atmosphere is hazardous area and the pump is used for pumping hydrocarbon and water mixtures.
But you will need air or gas for powering it.
The pump is a texsteam pump 6100 series.
Go to this website for the pump data:

(even with the surge suppressors). The submersible electric pumps fast and is a smooth non-pulsating flow.
Air pumps best thing though if in a flammable atmosphere.
