Mining

The mining industry has unique requirements which must be taken into account when engineering and installing their dewatering systems. A traditional mine dewatering system uses relief valve skids to protect the pump system at the bottom of the mine from substantial damage due to hydraulic transient events.

A Pump Trip causes the reverse flow of the water column to impact the closed check valve, which can result in a dramatic pressure surge in the piping system. This pressure surge can cause breaks, leaks, or even ruptures in the pump piping system and could possibly cause flooding of the lower levels of the mine.

Whether the mine is large or small, protection of the pump and piping system from pressure transients remains a paramount concern. Our product line of Bladder Surge Arrestors (BSA) and Bladder Surge Tanks (BST) absorbs and controls hydraulic surges, protecting dewatering piping systems and ancillary equipment from damage. These products are an efficient, economical and easily manageable solution because they are virtually maintenance free and increase the lifespan of the dewatering piping system.

These solutions are engineered to:

• Advance the safety of miners
• Protect valuable equipment infrastructure
• Reduce maintenance costs
• Increase efficiency

Our product solutions are continually proven against demanding environments, with a wide range of mining-specific capabilities:

• Standard sizes of 25, 40, 80, and 120 US Gallons for quick delivery. (114, 182, 363, and 545 LTR’S)
• Custom sizes for requirements specific to your mine.
• All tanks are ASME Section VIII, Division 1 approved.
• Standard pressure ranges up to 760psig. (5.2 BAR)
• Pressure capabilities beyond 760psig are available (5.2 BAR)
• Tanks are constructed in either epoxy-coated carbon steel or stainless steel.
• Unique abrasion resistant bladder material for slurry and raw water conditions.
• Compatible with a wide variety of pumps and pump skid systems.
