Submersible Pump

Submersible pumps are those kinds of pumps which can be fully immersed within a tank or other media storage receptacle. The motors of submersible pumps are normally sealed in oil filled cavities and these are protected from contact with the transfer media. The advantage of this type of pump is that it can provide a significant lifting force as it does not rely on external air pressure to lift the fluid.

Types of Submersible Pump:
Many common types of pumps can be designed by submersible pumps manufacturers to be submersible such as:

• Bladder Pump
• Centrifugal Pump
• Condensate Pump
• Booster Pump
• Fountain Pump
• Grinder Pump
• Sampling Pump
• Trash Pump
• Utility pump
• Well Pump

Applications of Submersible Pump:
Submersible pumps see widespread use in applications such as:

• Mining
• Pollution Control
• Tunelling
• Municipal Wastewater Plants
• Golf Course/Turf Irrigation
• Agricultural Irrigation
• De-Watering
• Cooling Towers
• Water Parks and Other Fluid Intensive Environments.
• Dredging Application
• Quarrying
• Offshore Oil Duties
• Fluid Storage Caverns
• Thermal Power Station Pumps including Nuclear
• Offshore Marine and Aerospace Refinery, Chemical and Process Plant
• Electric Motors
• Oil and Gas

Uses and Features of Submersible Pump:

• Submersible pumps are capable of pumping large solids or grinding solids to smaller sizes.
  
  
• It can transfer wastewater at large flow rates or high pressures.
  
  
• There are four main specifications to consider when selecting between the available submersible pump types (beyond specific pump type or application). These are: maximum discharge flow, maximum discharge pressure, horsepower (hp) and discharge size.
