September 2006 -- Clear, cold water is easy to pump with most types of pumps. But remediation and landfill sites often require pumping liquids that are far from these ideal conditions. High temperatures, viscous fluids, silts and solids, solvents, corrosives and short water columns are just a few of the headaches that can cause submersible pumps to fail quickly or fall short of project performance objectives.

A new engineering tool is now available as a site-specific guide to the selection of the best category of submersible pump for remediation sites and landfills. Going beyond just the basics of discharge head and flow rates, this new resource explores the impact of 11 other important factors that can affect submersible pump performance in the difficult conditions often found at landfills and remediation sites.

The new tool at www.submersiblepumpguide.com, has a free Pump Wizard that lets you enter the specific pump application conditions that apply to your project, then rates each of the following common submersible pump types for best fit: electric submersible pumps; air-powered automatic pumps; and piston pumps.

www.submersiblepumpguide.com is loaded with information and diagrams explaining how each of these pump types work and how they are affected by 13 different factors that play an important role in their performance and service life.
