innovate submersible sump pump design saves nickel mine over $300K in one year

FROM BLEEDING COSTS TO UNENDING UPTIME

Glencore's new Nickel Rim South (NRS) mine in Sudbury Ontario had a major problem. The submersible sump pump system for dewatering and handling slimes was driving handling and maintenance costs sky-high. At an operation this big, uptime is critical. Every time they had to clean up after flooding or replace a burnt-out pump, it cost the organization tens of thousands of dollars. It was inefficient as well as expensive - and they needed a solution fast. 

GPM-ELIMINATOR™ DELIVERS FAST ROI

After extensive testing, the Wilson Sump using a GPM-Eliminator replaced all 13 the two-sump Weir systems in the mine. The Wilson Sump pump application takes up less real estate, costs less to build, uses less labor and, most importantly, it's maintenance free.
