CAN PUMPS
GO ON AN
ETE RNAL MISSION?
SUSTAINABLE
PUMPING TECHNOLOGY
Responsible water management, in
particular, is one of the most crucial,
eternal missions – work that will be
needed long after a mine’s closure.
A German mining company plans to
let the acid mine water rise to a point
where there is still a safety margin to
the groundwater. The current solution
with centrifugal pumps requires a dry
underground machine room. Addition-
ally, pumping large volumes of liquid
from great depths generates up to 30
tons of axial thrust that have to be
eliminated. ANDRITZ suggested dou-
ble-suction submersible motor pumps
that are maintenance-free, compen-
sate the axial thrust and achieve high
energy savings.
