Submersible Pumps – Understanding the Basics

Pumps in itself is a very complex subjects to understand. You may find huge variety off pumps to chose from like Centrifugal Pumps, Dosing Pump, Progressive Cavity Pumps, Submersible pumps etc. etc.. Few years back there were many reservations about Submersible pumps. The concept of operating a Electro-Mechanical equipment (Pump) while it is submerged in water was a big no. Even big companies deterred from venturing in to manufacturing of submersible pumps.  
 
But there were few companies who had decided to flow against the tide. Very few of them have ventured in this three decades back. Due to their untiring efforts today Submersible Pumps have become one of the most preferred types of pumps.
Today Property owners, both commercial and residential, as well as the industries, often need to install submersible pumps on their property. These pumps can be used for variety of applications such as Clear Water Pumping, Dewatering, Wastewater Pumping, Sewage & Effluent pumping & Slurry Handling.
Though submersible pumps are widely used, not many people are aware of what exactly submersible pumps are. As the name suggests, submersible pumps are submerged in the tank, pit or a container. Known for their energy efficiency and performance, submersible pump have gained popularity over past decades. Depending on their requirement a user may choose grinder submersible pumps or any other types of submersible pumps.

What are submersible pumps?
Submersible pump is a mono unit that combines a pump and a motor (mounted on single Shaft). These pumps are specifically designed to ensure that it will work well even when it is submerged underwater. The sealing arrangement & electrical safety parameters are critical areas for any submersible pumps. The companies which are  in this field have secured CE Certification to ensure that critical areas are not compromised.
The basic difference between submersible pumps and other pumps is that submersible pumps push fluids towards the surface. In case of regular pumps, fluid is pulled into the surface. Submersible pumps like solvent submersible pumps are used in variety of industrial applications.
Types of Submersible Pumps
On the basis of application & quality of liquid to be handled, different types of submersible pumps can come into picture. Few of the popular submersible pumps applications are:
Open Well Pumps – Used to source water from, deep open well, rivers, canals, dam etc.. Openwell Submersible pumps are the most efficient way to fetch and distribute available water from various recourses, distribution can be for drinking water, agriculture farming, village water supply, landscaping etc. Depending upon the purpose necessary piping arrangement can be done.
·         Sewage Pumps – Sewage pumps has always been a cumbersome task. The large solid which are generally encountered are big headache. But modern day submersible pumps have evolved a lot. Now sewage pumps are  equipped with spiral cutting plates & thrash guard arrangements. These arrangements not only prevents pumps from chocking / jamming, but makes a overall sewage pumping manageable proposition. Today Submersible Sewage Pumps are widely used in many STP/ETP, for sludge and waste removal in industries, chemical plants, sewage works, tanneries and more.

·         Dewatering Pumps – As far as Submersible pumps are concerned this is most popular application. Today dewatering pumps are used regularly for many infrastructure projects, Industrial applications & domestic applications. The major use is for dewatering of basements, pits, quarries as well as mass water transfer. Dewatering pumps are mainly used for pumping dirty water having with little bit of suspended solids.
