Page 59 Rock Solid Solutions try , this year Aquatech will also open branches in T immins and Thunder Bay . Aquatech Pump and Power has one of the lar gest portable pumping equip - ment rental feets in the country , they also specialize in the sale of special - ized lines of pumping equipment for most applicatio ns of any surface and under ground mine. Aquatech Dewatering Company pro - vides a breadth of contract dewater - ing services including; groundwater control systems, well drilling, aquifer pumping tests, and pond draining and dredging services. A few of the new feature products be - ing introduced this year by Aquatech include; • Dragfow Super Duty Submersible Slurry Pumps are designed for heavy- duty applications, especially for slur - ry with abrasive solids, and capable of pumping as much as 70% solids by weight and up to 5” diamete r solids, making them ideal for dredging and slurry pumping applications; Electric models range from 5 to 300 HP , Hy - draulic from 24 to 400 HP • Sulzer Multistage Ring-Section Pumps, ideal for pumping clear or slightly polluted water . Heads of 3,000 ft. can be achieved with fows up to 3,000 USGPM. These pumps are made of chromium steel and include a suction casing, dischar ge casing and stage casings divided in perpendicu - lar sections to the rotation axial. For corrosive pumped liquids, we can also supply the pump in all duplex stain - less steel. The wear rings are in PEEK polymer material. • Cornell SP Series Slurry Pumps, available in chrome iron and rubber confgurations, are designed to trans - port strong abrasive slurry with high concentration of solids at pH levels of 5 to 12. The SP series pumps are de - signed to handle abrasive high density slurries in mining, metallur gical, coal and other industrial applications; • The Pitbull Pump is an innovative pump that uses only two chec k valves and a hollow chamber , the Pitbull will fll and then dischar ge almost any combination of liquid and solids that can fow through its wide open inlet. Pitbulls use compressed air as the mo - tive force, acti ng directly on the liq - uid without the need for diaphragms or seals. The all-pneumatic opera - tion simplifes installation, eliminates shock hazards and is suitable for ex - plosion-proof areas Aquatech strives to be a high quality , one-stop shop supplier of all dewater - ing solutions.

Mining profes - sionals recognize that dewatering is more than just simply picking a pump to use to get rid of the water and that Aquatech Pump and Power covers Northern Ontario with offces in Sudbury , T immins and Thunder Bay the vendor selected needs to have more than a catalogue to deliver the solution. In addition to water there are other fuids such as sewage, slurries, tail - ings, petrochemical and many more that constantly require managing and as such, various models and types of pumping and specialized equipment are required to facilitate this in order to securely convey the fow . Mine operators understand reliability is essential, therefore their product se - lection also relies heavily on who is supporting it. Mines can be in remote environments and so access to ser - vice, engineeri ng support and a wide range of inventory can be as impor - tant as the product itself. Founded in 2006, Aquatech’ s philoso - phy is to provide fully supported and comprehensive dewatering solutions to the mining, construction, industrial and municipal industries.
