Tsurumi's Approach
Tsurumi investigated and collaborated with the customer’s Mechanical Engineer to design a tailored system for their standpipe application used to fill water trucks. Initially they wanted to utilize a 250mm pipe size, however after a review it was determined that a 315mm pipe size would better suit the selected submersible pump.
The submersible pump was a smaller kilowatt in comparison to alternative offers they received, and the pump was in stock to purchase. We offered them a KRS1022 submersible pump on a floating doughnut pontoon with pipe floats. This design made the dewatering pump float on the water surface, and away from the sediment, along with moving with the dam level as it changes.
Results & Benefits
The client installed and commissioned the new system. They reported that the duration to fill a water truck was halved compared to their previous method utilized.
Additionally, the new system isolates the filling activity, eliminating the need to stop existing operations and change valves. There are no more priming requirements, resulting in a significantly improved overall operation.
Conclusion
The new system setup requires less manual labour, kilowatts and provides quicker fill times. These factors result in significant savings on time and power, along with easing the workload. Furthermore the solution is more cost effective. Overall, the customer is very satisfied with their new system.
