Ore Production Process
In Sweden, a company had issues in one its main production processes: heating extracted ore to extremely high temperatures, just shy of its melting point. Following this heating process, the ore undergoes cooling. During the process residual water needs to be pumped which can be a challenge as well. The temperature of the residual water reaches up to 60 degrees celcius. As an added hardship the water is also loaded with abrasive ore particles.

Acidic seepage
An open-cast mine in Cyprus produces extremely acidic seepage water with a pH value between 2 and 3. Pumps from different manufacturers only lasted two weeks to a maximum of three months in test operation. Therefore they were looking for a mobile submersible pump that would function permanently under the extreme conditions and be as maintenance-free as possible.
