The Submersible borehole pump has been in operation for decades, and it is used to transport cold clean water under normal operating conditions.

The PLEUGER submersible borehole pump has been developed for installation in wells and as a result, has a distinctively slim design. Because of its various features, can also be used for other applications with different design modifications.

In this presentation, we will revisit the design and development of the PLEUGER submersible borehole pump which have been operating in various site such as Jordan Disi Water, Lybia Made River, Open pit mine at FMG mine and Barrick Goldstrike, Malikai oil platform, Borwin Alpha windpark, Ichthys gas platform, Total AKPO FPSO, Draugen oil platform.

The presentation will cover what problems there is in pump design and development and problem in mine site or oil and gas platform. It also covers the learning of how to resolve those problems. The topic will cover the following.

Introduction to submersible pump and motor design;

Design review of Conventional Design vs Bottom Intake Design;

Design review of the internal cooling circuit of the submersible motor;

Application at Oil & Gas, Mining,  General Industries, and Water supply.

Case study and application of pumps in Jordan and Lybia;

Application of pumps for dewatering in open pit mining with case-studies from open-pit mine in Australia (FMG) and Barrick Goldstrike in Nevada.

Application of pumps for Offshore oil platform (with special motor applications) with case studies from Malikai Oil Platform, Borwin Alpha Windpark, Ichthys Gas Platform, Total AKPO FPSO and Draugen Oil Platform;

PLEUGER submersible pump designs have different features for water and mining pump applications within the water & energy, marine & offshore, oil & gas and mining industries such as dewatering, water transfer and water supply.
