Grundfos offers intelligent submersible pumps for flood control.Water logging during monsoons is a common occurrence, making many areas prone to floods. Due to the lack of efficient infrastructure, water gets accumulated and floods the low-lying localities. This disrupts livelihoods, making cities come to a standstill. Commercial establishments are worst hit by the downpour; many of their basements get flooded and cannot be accessed until the situation gets back to normal. Therefore, dewatering pumps play a major role in the run-off management. Grundfos offers excellent and robust dewatering solutions with its pumps and systems. DPK and DWK are designed to be submersible dewatering draining pumps. These pumps can handle a particle size of up to 15 mm and can be installed in basements to manage the situation. They are an ideal solution as reliability and modularity are key elements required in critical situations. These pumps are highly useful in flood prone areas and construction sites.DPK /DPK.V PumpsThese drainage or dewatering pumps are equipped with a semi-open or enclosed impeller, supported with a robust cast iron construction to improve their durability. They are intended for submersible use in underground collection tanks and around buildings for cost effective run-off management. They also have flexible installation options as they can be free-standing on a ring stand or be permanently installed on an auto-coupling system.The DPK.V range of pumps is designed with a state-of-the-art ‘super vortex’ impeller to transfer sewage, making the run-off management efficient. DPK.V pumps have a particle handling capability of 65 mm (or) 80 mm; hence they can be put into operation when there are coarse particles floating in the water. With the super vortex impeller, the design minimizes clogging – making DPK.V ideal to transport wastewater.DWK PumpsThis pump range is primarily used for dewatering construction sites; their corrosion resistant components protect them from the harsh environment of such sites. The primary differentiator between a DPK and DWK pump is their discharge arrangement style. The discharge is placed on the top and does not require any additional support to be placed, thereby allowing the pump to be put through the smallest manhole to displace water.Features and benefits of DPK and DWK pumpsBuilt in bi-metal sensor that protects the pump from overheatingDouble mechanical seal positioned in the oil chamber to minimize downtimeEasy maintenance of oil plug in the seal chamberHose or flange connection to be provided on the basis of requirementWear and tear resistant impeller for an increased lifetimeCapabilities to manage high pressure and harsh environmentsApplications Construction sites Run-off managementExcavationsTunnels Drainage pits (Communication by the management of the company)
