Sock dewatering in Titusville, FL
Monday, January 6, 2025
This 6-inch pump draws twice as fast... How?
Especially for the sock dewatering job, the pictured BA150E D285 features a double vacuum pump. Instead of the standard MP50, we find in the canopy an MP100 with an air handling of 59 CFM. The MP100 diaphragm pump has been developed by BBA Pumps for large pump sets with suction lines from 12-inch upwards.
Extra suction capacity can sometimes come in handy as here in Titusville, FL. Retention ponds are being constructed to reduce flooding throughout the city and improve the health of local water bodies. The pump's suction is connected to a 1,600 ft. long sock to dewater during digging. And the construction guys said that the pump was doing a great job!
