What Is A Submersible Pump Used For? Part Two - Commercial Submersible Pumps

In this blog, we'll be looking at how submersible pumps are put to work for commercial purposes. These units tend to be larger and connected to much more complex systems, so it is important that all elements work well together to achieve the best business outcomes.

Five Uses For Commercial Submersible Pumps

Commercial submersible pumps can range from quite compact through to far larger than you’d think. Much like their residential counterparts, submersible pumps for commercial use come in a variety of options tailored to suit the needs of a range of projects, and their suitability for use will depend heavily on their configuration. Different types of units suit different needs, with some uses including:

Drainage

Often used on construction sites or in environments where stormwater can pose an issue, commercial drainage pumps are suited for use with “dirty water” that contains debris and other undesirable elements that a “clean water” pump could not handle. This type of unit works well to remove large volumes of water that is accessible at surface level and has settled in places it shouldn’t.

Don’t worry if you’re unsure whether the water at your job would be considered clean or dirty in pumping terms, as this distinction is used more commonly by pump manufacturers. Your local Irrigear Independent Experts will be able to specify a pump that meets your specific needs, so be sure to let them know the details of your project when you go to make your purchase.

Dewatering

Commercial dewatering pumps reduce groundwater levels in an area where works need to be performed. They tend to provide a temporary solution and are employed mainly to achieve access in order to configure a more permanent solution. Your local Irrigear Independent Expert will be able to specify the right submersible pump for your project, so be sure to speak with them to get the most effective and cost efficient option.

Farm Irrigation

Efficient watering of crops and livestock relies on a solid irrigation system for the farm. Every property’s configuration for this type of system will differ based on their unique needs, so the right submersible pump for the job will vary and may need to be combined with a surface mounted pump and other components in order to function effectively. If you are unsure as to what the best configuration for your farm would be, have a chat with your local Irrigear Independent Expert and they’ll be able to point you in the right direction.

Mining

The mining industry uses commercial submersible pumps for a range of applications on site. These tasks can include high intensity tasks such as dewatering of shafts and pits, and movement of slurry and other debris, as well as things like supplying the mine’s community with water from a bore or other source.

Sewage Removal And Wastewater Handling

Management of sewage and wastewater is both incredibly complex, and vital to the health and safety of communities and the environment. A range of systems and treatments are employed in this sector depending on the needs of the plant and the type of water being processed, so all aspects must be considered during the design phase. Your local Irrigear Independent Expert can assist you in finding the right submersible pump and water management system for handling wastewater in areas such as vineyards, farms and more.
