Pumps in action: Ingenuity at its finest!

A Swedish company working in a quarry in the Stockholm region has discovered a way to extend the working lifetime of a PRORIL pump even further! The company tested a small PRORIL TANK and found it to be cost-effective. Our distributor, calculated the flow: a vertical pump head of 15 meters, with a total length of 450 meters in 4-inch piping, indicated that both the TANK 475 and TANK 4110 were suitable solutions.

Installing these electric submersible pumps inside the ingeniously designed upside-down pontoon, as shown above, prevents mud and sand from entering the pump. This reduces the risk of sedimentation in the piping, thereby lowering maintenance costs. Additionally, our pumps were found to be more energy-efficient compared to those they replaced, further reducing operating costs and resulting in an overall lower life cycle cost!

Quarry water sometimes has a low pH value, which can be highly corrosive and damaging to standard pump materials. To address this issue, PRORIL has designed specialized stainless steel submersible pumps.
