Eldorado Gold Mine - dewatering in Turkey

BBA Pumps Turkish distributor Bilgi A.Ş has recently commissioned four electric mine dewatering pumps. The high pressure pumps are located in an underground gold mine in Western Turkey at a depth of about 150 meters.

After an extensive factory acceptance test at the BBA Pumps factory in the Netherlands, where multiple vibration and capacity measurements were completed, the pumps are now running 17 hours a day to the full satisfaction of the mine operator.
