BJM Submersible Pumps FAQ

What BJM equipment is featured?

The page covers submersible dewatering and specialized options for challenging wastewater, corrosive-liquid, and hot-sump duties. Capabilities depend on the exact model.

Can BJM pumps handle hot liquids?

Certain models are designed for elevated temperatures. Confirm the complete unit's rating, cooling requirements, and duty cycle rather than applying one temperature limit to the entire range.

When should corrosion-resistant construction be considered?

Review it where the liquid attacks standard materials. Provide the chemical composition, concentration, and temperature so all wetted parts and seals can be evaluated.

Are all BJM pumps suitable for classified locations?

No. The specific pump and installation must have the required approvals for the location and service. Verify documentation for the offered configuration.

What should be considered when pumping fibrous waste?

The type and quantity of fibers, hydraulic duty, and cutting or solids-handling design matter. Describe the waste stream and previous blockage history when requesting selection help.

Can a general dewatering model replace a slurry-duty pump?

Only after reviewing particle size, abrasion, concentration, and required performance. A similar flow rating does not establish equivalent solids-handling capability.

How do I size a submersible pump?

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.

Why is my pump running without lowering the liquid level?

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.

Why does a submersible pump keep clogging?

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.

Why is my pump tripping its breaker or overload?

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.

Can a submersible pump operate with the motor exposed?

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.

How often should submersible pumps be inspected?

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.

What can cause frequent starting and stopping?

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.

Can a damaged submersible pump be rebuilt?

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.

How can I get local support for BJM Submersible Pumps?

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.

What should I send when requesting a quote?

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.
