At a remote brine processing site in Western Australia, operators needed a reliable pump for saturated liquid brine under harsh, abrasive, and off-grid conditions. The Dura 65 diesel motor pump with hydraulic drive was implemented, providing durable, low-maintenance peristaltic pumping and flexible operation for challenging field trials.
What challenges did the site present for brine pumping?
The deployment site presented several operational challenges:
- No electricity access, requiring a diesel driven pump.
- Rugged, rocky terrain, demanding a skid design that can withstand rough handling.
- Abrasive, high-salinity fluids, as saturated brine can quickly damage standard pumps.
- Field maintenance needs, necessitating integrated strainers and ball valves for safe and easy drainage.
How does the Dura 65 diesel-driven pump solve these challenges?
The Dura 65 peristaltic pump provides solutions through:
- Diesel Hatz engine & hydraulic drive: A diesel motor pump powers the rotor via a hydraulic hose pump system, ensuring off-grid reliability.
- Oil-filled hydraulic hoses: Transmit power from the diesel motor to the rotor for smooth, reliable peristaltic pumping.
- Rugged skid design: Mounted on a galvanised steel baseplate with Bissaloy wear plates, it withstands dragging and uneven surfaces.
- Integrated suction strainers & ball valves: Protects the pump and simplifies maintenance and drainage.
- Corrosion-resistant connections: SS 316 flanges ensure long-term durability in harsh brine conditions.
What are the benefits of using the Dura 65 diesel driven pump?
- Field-ready and portable: Deployable in remote sites using the diesel motor pump.
- Durable and low-maintenance: Hydraulic peristaltic design minimizes wear; only the tube requires replacement.
- Reliable brine pumping: Handles abrasive, high-salinity fluids efficiently as a brine pump.
- Operational flexibility: Integrated valves and strainers simplify field operations, demonstrating the advantages of a hydraulic hose pump system.
