Custom engineering its solutions for specific pumping requirements, Integrated Pump Rental is producing complete stainless steel pump sets. This innovative concept, never before readily available in the local market, is ideal for highly corrosive conditions.
In addition to renting pumps, the in-house capability of Integrated Pump Rental allows it to design and build reliable, high performance diesel driven pumps locally. This gives customers a fit-for-purpose pump within a short lead time, according to the company’s rental development manager, Steve du Toit.
Demonstrating its depth of in-house expertise and technical capability, Jet Park-based Integrated Pump Rental recently delivered its largest pump ever – a Sykes MH300 auto-prime unit. This giant’s ability to pump 500 litres per second means that it can empty an Olympic-sized swimming pool – containing 2,5 million litres – in just 1,3 hours.
As the rainy season approaches, Integrated Pump Rental has issued a warning to operators of water storage and process dams to desilt these as soon as possible. Progressive build-up of silt over time would have caused many of these facilities to reach close to critical volume and excessive rainwater could have major implications.
Integrated Pump Rental provided a cost effective solution for a customer in the petrochemical sector with the complete refurbishment of a water pump including the fitting of a new Sykes CP250i wet-end.
A Sykes XH150 high head diesel driven pump recently removed 103 million litres of water from an open pit in northern Botswana in just 30 days to enable exploratory drilling to take place. Engineered for reliable performance with low fuel consumption, the pump is able to work in dewatering applications for extended periods of time.
An innovative solution was provided by Integrated Pump Rental for the dredging of an Eswatini sugar producer’s sewerage facilities. A SlurrySucker Mini mobile dredging unit was deployed to empty the pond.
The tried-and-tested Sykes XH150 dewatering pump from Integrated Pump Rental once again came to the rescue of a Northern Cape mine following heavy rains in the region. The mine, which already had one of these units in operation, signed a long-term contract for a second unit – replacing a competitor’s product on site.
Integrated Pump Rental’s innovative SlurrySucker desilting barge is successfully cleaning a large process dam for a coal mine in Mpumalanga, after past attempts by numerous contractors had failed. The application of the SlurrySucker meets the safety priorities of the mine while cost effectively removing the slurry.
A SlurrySucker dredging unit, locally manufactured by Integrated Pump Rental, will ensure optimal operation of Tronox’s dams at the heavy mineral miner’s operation on the West Coast of South Africa.
