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.

Sykes Pumps have been contacted by members of a local fishing club that were experiencing major problems with oxygen deficiency at a fishing lake under their control. The hot weather had resulted in the loss of over 600 fish, a costly and traumatic experience for the members. Our experienced staff at the local Sykes Pumps depot recommended the use of our Venturi Aeration system to solve the situation.
Sykes Pumps mobilised their Venturi system the same day and the system was up and running within a few hours ensuring the oxygen levels increased to the extent that no further fish were lost. The package system, incorporating a Sykes 6” silenced pump, hoses and the Venturi Aerator is simple and easy to install with no moving parts and requires little supervision once installed.

Sykes Pumps received a call recently from the control room of a major sewage treatment works to report a serious danger of flooding of the facility. Due to very heavy rainfall during the night the main pumps on the site were unable to cope with the conditions and the ensuing high demand, which put the site in serious danger of flooding.
Sykes Pumps regional Technical Engineer, reported to the site to assess the situation and advise how Sykes Pumps could help solve the situation. After liasing with the manager at the local Sykes depot, it was decided that more than one depot would need to assist to avert the potential risk; Sykes’ depot management staff mobilised engineers and delivery vehicles from two locations, delivering a total of 6 no. 6” diesel pumps complete with hoses and accessories to site immediately. Once installed Sykes Pumps engineers attended site on a daily basis checking that the equipment was operating correctly and no further risk to the facility occurred.
