Pumps Keep Mines Dry - Increased Efficiency And Safety In Mine Water Management

Pumps play a critical role in all mining operations and are, therefore, among the most important equipment in a mine. When a mine is established, the pump system is designed based on the volumes and quality of the water that will be handled, the expected service life of the mine as well as its size and depth. The service life of the mine determines whether temporary or permanent pump solutions are chosen.

In this article, Mikael Hjelm, globally responsible for business development in mine water management at Sulzer, explains more about why pumps play such a critical role.
