The environmental industry plays a key role in pollution control, remediation, conservation, and the transition to more sustainable practices. Pumps are essential in applications ranging from groundwater monitoring and contaminated site cleanup to renewable energy systems and carbon capture. These applications often involve variable and aggressive fluids, demanding durable, accurate, and environmentally safe pumping solutions.
Key Applications
1. Groundwater and Soil Remediation
Environmental remediation projects use pumps to extract contaminated groundwater or leachate for treatment. Diaphragm and peristaltic pumps are ideal for handling variable flow and maintaining sample integrity, especially in low-flow or portable systems.
2. Landfill Leachate and Gas Management
Leachate—highly contaminated liquid generated by waste decomposition—must be safely pumped to treatment facilities. Corrosion-resistant pumps are also used to support landfill gas extraction and transfer systems.
3. Surface Water and Drainage Control
Pumps are used in stormwater management, flood protection, and wetland restoration to move water safely and sustainably. Self-priming and submersible pumps are commonly deployed in temporary or fixed installations.
4. Environmental Monitoring and Sampling
Pumps support the collection of environmental samples in rivers, lakes, and wells. These systems demand precision, contamination-free operation, and portability, often using compact, low-shear designs.
