High Performance

Severn Trent Water

When Severn Trent Water in the UK needed to bypass 7000m³/hr in an emergency, there was only one company that could supply, install and start the pumps in less than 14 hours including installing over 1km of hoses. Pioneer Pump Solutions, was that company.


The largest range of engine driven solids handling pumps in the world capable of flows in excess of 9000m³/hr and pressures over 20 bar means Pioneer Pump Solutions is the UK’s leading pump rental company focusing on high performance and low cost of ownership.

Solids Handling Pump Features

• Indefinite Run-Dry Capability

• Efficient Design for Reduced Operating Costs

• Auto Stop/Start with Floats

• Sound Attenuated, Fully Bunded Packages

• Spark Arresting Mufflers

• Chalwyn Valve

• Environmentally Safe Priming System with Patented PosiValve™ – No Blow By

Solids Handling Pumps

Bridgwater, Somerset

Pioneer recently mobilised four of its largest 450SH pumpsets to Bridgwater, UK to relieve the floods in the Somerset Plains region by pumping 12000m³/hr though multiple lines. These pumps in conjunction with external fuel tanks were able to bring the potentially disastrous situation under control.


Solids Handling Pump Range

Our standard pumps operate in a range up to 1200m³/hr and pressures up to 120m whilst still being able to pass a solid of 76mm (3″) in all but the smallest 80mm pumpset. The larger 300mm and 450mm pumpsets pass solids between 90mm and 150mm in size whilst the very largest 760mm pumpset passes solids over 150mm in size.

All of the solids handling pumps utilise Pioneer enclosed solids handling impellers offering outstanding NPSHr and suction lift characteristics whilst having high efficiency therefore low fuel burn performance.

See our full range of engine driven pumps opposite operating at 1800 – 2000rpm (unless otherwise stated below).

300SLPump Model PP1212S17T


When the UK’s largest water management organisation, the Environment Agency required high flow pumps to manage the severe flooding in Southern England, they called on Pioneer Pump Solutions to deliver. With over fifty high flow pumpsets on hire for almost three months, Pioneer moved in excess of 150,000 gallons every minute for almost 3 months, some 74 million tonnes of water.

Using our high flow, 18″ and 12″ pumpsets, Pioneer is capable of moving far larger volumes of water with smaller numbers of pumps than any other UK pump hire company, in fact, we are so efficient our pumps are used all over Europe in emergency situations making us the most internationally demanded pump hire company in the UK.

With features such as internet based telemetry, and safety equipment such as overspeed protection systems as standard, Pioneer has set the standard in high performance pumpsets for hire in the industrial, municipal and mineral markets.

Pioneer 300SM pumpsets with flows in excess of 2000m³/hr represent the highest performing 12″ pumpsets in the world and are available next day from Pioneer Pump Solutions regardless of your location, we can organise shipment, delivery, installation and operation, just let us know your specific requirements.

300SM High Flow Pumps

Stourmouth, Kent

Pioneer mobilised four of its 300SM pumpsets to relieve possible flooding in the Canterbury region of Kent. The four pumps created a combined flow of 8000m³/hr and saved the installed pump station from being damaged and the area being flooded.

200CH & CHOPump Model PP108C18


Welsh Slate, the UK’s largest producer of slate for the UK construction market were looking to reduce their fuel costs and most importantly the environmental footprint of their mine in North Wales, UK.

Utilising a Pioneer 200CX high flow, high head pumpset, which replaced a high pressure submersible powered by a portable generator, Welsh Slate were able to achieve savings in excess of £100,000 per year by using a Pioneer Pump solution.

More importantly to them, they were able to show a carbon reduction of almost 2000 tonnes per year as well making them one of the most environmental producers of slate in the world.

If your company is looking to seriously improve the operational efficiency of your mine or quarry, then call us and we will develop the most efficient solution you can invest in or hire.

200CX High Head Pumps

Welsh Slate

Using our high efficiency clear liquids pumps, Welsh Slate in the UK reduced their operating costs by over £100,000 per annum, whilst improving the output of their dewatering system.

The above table refers to new pipes. Moderate corrosion may increase the resistance by 25% and severe corrosion by 50% or 100%. To calculate the resistance of bends and other fittings, an equivalent length for each fitting should be added to the actual length of straight pipe. The equivalent length in feet can be estimated with sufficient accuracy by multiplying the factors in the following table by the pipe diameter in inches.

NPSH

This is a common issue that is either forgotten or not understood by many pump users, pumps do not suck, they rely upon atmospheric pressure to ‘push’ water up the suction hose to the pump into a lower pressure area created by the pump by removing water from its body. In simple terms, nothing can operate in a vacuum, therefore if you switch the pump on it will spin and push the water out, therefore it needs some more and as long as atmospheric pressure (NPSHa) is greater than the pump requires (NPSHr) then the water will be pushed up the suction hose.

Remember

Don’t be fooled by a company telling you that they can lift 9m on the suction side. Most self-priming pumps can do this, however the trick is keeping the pump primed and maximizing performance and this is achieved through designing a good pump with a low net positive suction head required (NPSHr).

The vertical height difference from surface of water source to centreline of impeller is termed as static suction head or suction lift (‘suction lift’ can also mean total suction head).

The vertical height difference from centreline of impeller to discharge point is termed as discharge static head. The vertical height difference from surface of water source to discharge point is termed as total static head.

Head

Centrifugal pump curves show ‘pressure’ as head, which is the equivalent height of water with S.G. = 1. This makes allowance for specific gravity variations in the pressure to head conversion to cater for higher power requirements. Head can be expressed in a number of units however most common is feet (ft) or metres (m). The head of a pump performance shows what ‘pressure’ can be achieved by a given pump at a specific flow rate resulting from rotating the pump at a predetermined speed, generally 1500rpm to 1800rpm or higher.

Static Head and Friction Loss

When a pump company asks its customer “How much head or pressure?” It is asking what is the total of the static head and the friction losses created in pumping a given flow rate of water from point to point. If you are pumping 100m up then you have 100m of static from the level of the source of liquid to the end of your pipe which might include up top 7m of static lift from the lagoon to the entrance of the pump. If your pipe is 100m long and you calculate 8% losses through the pipe, bends, strainers etc., then you friction losses are 8m. The total dynamic head or TDH is therefore 108m and it is this head or pressure that the pump company is asking for.
