One of the most renowned fishing lakes in Britain suffered with a number of fish and plant deaths recently as the algae in the lake began to decay and rot, inevitably resulting in an oxygen shortage within the lake.
Being the UK’s foremost pump supplier, Sykes Pumps were on site within a few hours, installing two 6” Venturi Aerators on each side of the lake. This proved effective as fewer fish were dying.
Mark Warner, Pump Sales Engineer, stated this solution “saved the fishery business and the customer was extremely grateful for our expertise”. Sykes Pumps has extensive experience in environmental industries and supply premium reliable equipment to cover every possible situation.

Sykes Pumps Hire has added the ABS XFP301M 75kW wastewater pumps to its hire fleet, as part of the continuing development of their electric submersible pump fleet. Although the primary market for these pumps will inevitably be based around the water industry, any business with a need to move large volumes of liquids can benefit from these new pumps. Nigel Gill, Operations Support Director, states the pumps “benefit from high efficiency motors and can deliver flows exceeding 450 litres/second”. He adds “the pumps are accompanied by state of the art variable frequency drives which allows the pumps to deliver high efficiencies at the customers desired duty point”. This latest investment further reinforces Andrews Sykes philosophy of continually developing our fleet profile to meet the needs of our customers.

The 6” fully silenced canopy surface mounted diesel driven pump produces similar performance levels as the standard Sykes 6” pump unit, but has at its heart the Lister Alpha- Bio G-Build LPWS Bio 4 engine, which runs on 100% bio-diesel (B100). The Sykes “ENVIROPUMP” is fully bunded, and is amazingly quiet (65Dba @ 7m) the fully filtered vacuum prime system ensures there is zero discharge, and the unit is fitted with biodegradable oils.
Fitted with the latest technology engine protection systems and performance controllers, the “ENVIROPUMP” is the first of a new generation of super-efficient, environmentally friendly pumps that Andrews Sykes currently have in design and development stages.

Sykes Pumps, the UK’s leading pump hire specialist, has launched a new guide that covers its large range of surface mounted, submersible, hydraulic and high performance range of pumps. The new guide follows the tried and tested philosophy of having a pocket size book containing all of the technical date whilst retaining it’s easy to use format. The layout has changed slightly with the pages being landscape rather than portrait which makes reading the technical data much easier. The guide is laid out in a simple format which makes finding the pump you require easy through colour coding by type.
Bob Willoughby (Technical Director for Sykes Pumps) said “My role was to lead the team in developing the new pocket guide. We listened to the customer feedback, as well as the comments from our own sales and depot teams. This enabled us to ensure that the guide has the right amount of information and is easy to read and use. Some of the major changes are; easy to use and read pump curves, inclusion of our expanding range of pumps, detailed fuel efficiency for our diesel range of pumps”.
Steve Reeve (Sales Director for Andrews Sykes Hire) added “We are always striving to improve the information available, to our customers, on our ever growing range of pumps. This pocket guide provides an invaluable source of information on our range of products for our existing and future customers”.
The new Sykes pocket pump guide will be available from 1st July 2011. Customers wishing to request their own personal copy of the guide can order one online at www.sykespumps.co.uk
