A fuel import terminal in NSW needed our help in handling wastewater and seasonal floods at their site. So we custom-built their vertical column sump pumps at our Flo-Max facility.
High-capacity industrial sump pumps
Australian petroleum import terminals don’t just distribute fuel throughout the country. They must treat their wastewater and manage any on-site flooding from storms. Without the proper catchments, sumps and pumping systems, water can accumulate in places contaminated with dangerous petrol residue. The polluted water can then overflow into adjacent suburbs or wildlife conservation areas.
Our most recent client was one such terminal in New South Wales. To meet the safety demands of their site, they needed eight vertical column sump pumps. These had to be large and durable enough to handle murky or oil-contaminated non-saline water with occasional small solids.
Moreover, each sump pump had to have a drainage capacity of 278 litres per second, at pressures of 25 metres per head. The client also wanted each unit made with a specific type and thickness of steel. The pumps had to pass their capacity and chemical analysis tests as well.
Custom-designing centrifugal sump pumps
Leveraging our extensive experience in creating bespoke industrial sump pumps for the petroleum industry, we have the expertise and resources to undertake such projects efficiently. For this client, we engineered eight large centrifugal vertical column sump pumps. Over six months, we meticulously planned, designed, built, and tested these pumps to ensure they met the highest standards.
