Mobile pump systems are often self-contained units that can be easily moved to where needed. While mainly used for transferring water, they have various commercial, industrial, and municipal applications. Some mobile pump systems can handle fluids other than water. They are commonly used for firefighting, draining water, and flood protection. Additionally, they can benefit processing applications involving different fluids, such as in chemical plants, distilleries, microbreweries, and restaurants for oil and fat collection. These portable pump systems offer flexible solutions compared to stationary pumps, ensuring reliable fluid transportation.
Why Use Packaged Mobile Pump Systems?
Though the applications mobile pumping systems are used for differ, they’re typically used by facilities with fluid storage spread out over a wide area. By making fluid transfer mobile, pumping systems can be more versatile. Portability also enables the pump to be used for other applications and different locations. When mobile pump systems come as a package, they come ready to use and just require a connection to a facility’s piping system.
Advantages of packaged mobile pump systems include:
- Accessibility: When mobile, pump systems that come in a package are easier to manage as they require no complicated connections or installation.
- Adaptability: While it depends on specifications, mobile pump systems can handle various liquids, from water with solids to chemical solutions.
- Lightweight: Truly mobile pumping units won’t require heavy equipment to move, so compact and lighter-weight packaged systems are more versatile.
- Cost-effectiveness: Pump packages provide the user with a complete system, whether stationary or mobile; pump systems that are both packaged and transportable tend to be more affordable, too, as they don’t require costly installation.
- Dependability: Because they’re designed to move, mobile pump systems feature particularly robust designs to deal with various difficult conditions.
- Disaster management: To handle emergency situations like fighting an industrial fire or flooding, movable pumps are much more adaptable.
- Efficiency: To compensate for the lack of size, most portable pumping systems will feature powerful motors able to handle higher capacities, which are essential for managing floodwaters or other similar applications.
- Equipped: A packaged pumping system with mobile capabilities will be properly configured, tested, and ready to use immediately.
- Installation: While still needing hosing or piping connected to them, installing mobile pump systems where they’re needed is a simple process.
- Maintenance: It’s often difficult to reach certain components in a mounted pump, whereas mobile pump systems can generally be repositioned to allow easier access for maintenance and repair.
- Mobility: Made compact with an emphasis on lighter-weight materials, the design of these pump systems allows for easy movement.
- Versatility: As they can be brought wherever needed, mobile pump systems can be used more flexibly.
Packaging mobile pump systems also make their production less costly, as fabricating identical systems is more cost-effective than producing a single unique system. However, certain pump manufacturers can make custom packages engineered to customers’ desired specifications but are also mobile. Pumping systems often work better when movable for applications like accessing water resources, dredging operations, firefighting, protecting against floods, and water drainage.
Some municipal water supplies use open freshwater sources like lakes and rivers. Packaged mobile pump systems offer quick access. These systems are also handy for dredging operations in harbors or shipping channels, but they need to be sturdy for moving liquids with solids. Accessing open surface water is crucial for firefighting too.
Firefighters in wooded areas can easily access water supplies using mobile pump systems to extinguish forest fires. Portable pumps are also vital for urban fire emergencies where surface water is not readily available. Mobile pump systems are not just for fires; they are handy in flood-prone areas. They can move water away from structures like dams, dikes, or seawalls to prevent flooding. During floods, these pumps help drain water faster.
