Barmesa Pumps

The page includes submersible wastewater, centrifugal, end-suction, grinder, and chopper options. Select the design around the fluid and required hydraulic duty.

A grinder reduces suitable solids before discharge, while a solids-handling design passes material through its hydraulic passages. Match the approach to the waste stream and piping system.

A chopper design may help where fibrous material causes plugging. Its capability still depends on the material, hydraulic duty, and maintenance condition.

The page also features centrifugal and end-suction equipment for general water service. Confirm the particular model's materials, pressure capability, and operating range.

Provide pump models, wet-well levels, alarm history, discharge pressure, and control sequence. Note whether one pump or every pump is affected.

Usually the cause needs closer review first. Debris type, pump passage design, flow conditions, and the collection system may matter more than motor horsepower.

Use required flow, total discharge head, liquid characteristics, and the operating cycle. Include elevation, pipe friction, and the lowest expected liquid level when reviewing the pump curve.

Inflow may exceed capacity, or the discharge may be restricted. Worn components, an obstructed inlet, air locking, or incorrect rotation can also reduce pumping performance.

Solids, fibers, and debris may exceed the pump's handling capability. Review the actual waste stream, inlet conditions, and hydraulic selection before assuming a larger motor will solve the problem.

Obstructions, motor faults, cable damage, or supply problems may be involved. Have qualified personnel investigate the fault; repeated resetting can conceal a developing equipment problem.

The answer depends on its cooling arrangement and duty rating. Check minimum liquid level and operating limits for the exact model rather than assuming all submersible pumps can run uncovered.

Follow the manufacturer's schedule and consider solids, runtime, and service history. Include cables, seals, hydraulic components, level controls, and alarms in the maintenance plan.

Float placement, changing inflow, check-valve leakage, or insufficient working volume may contribute. Review the control sequence and permitted starts per hour before changing the installation.

Inspection should assess the motor, seals, cable entry, and hydraulic parts. Compare repair cost and downtime with replacement, especially if the fluid conditions have changed.

Contact Process & Power at (901) 362-5500 with your location, equipment identification, and application or service concern. The team can review selection, parts, and service options for your needs.

Include the required duty, fluid or process details, operating conditions, utilities, and installation dimensions. For existing equipment, add nameplate photos, model and serial numbers, and a description of the problem or planned change.
