Dewatering pumps, or dewatering pumps, are centrifugal pumps that are used for removing water. These pumps are mainly used for removing water from marshy areas such as a construction site, a mine, a tunnel, or another place with unwanted water.
Dewatering pumps are made to be tough to withstand the tough conditions of different places where they will be used. Most of them have robust and compact designs, and when combined with low weight, they give high abrasion resistance and high-capacity drainage, which is very effective when handling dirty water.
Types of Dewater Pumps
There are different types of dewatering pumps depending on the place where you intend to remove water. The most common types of dewatering pumps are:
- Submersible Pumps- These are submerged either entirely or partially in the water. They work by pushing water through a pipe to the surface. These pumps require less operation space and can be positioned at the same level as the water or below to function.
- Centrifugal End-Suction Pumps- This type of pump is positioned above the surface of the water. It uses a long suction pipe lowered below the water surface and used centrifugal force to bring water to the surface.
These pipes can also be classified into:
- Dewatering Sludge Pump- This type of pump is used when removing water with solids in it. It sieves out those solids, ensuring that none gets into the pump to prevent damage.
- Drainage Pump- This type of dewatering pump is used to remove water from areas with stones. A strainer is used to prevent the stones from entering the pump.
Final Thoughts
Depending on the water you are trying to pump out, you will choose between these types of dewatering pumps. It is important to understand how each type works to choose the best pump for the job. You can conduct some research or seek professional help to determine which dewater pump best suits your project.
