In today's blog, we will be discussing pumps used in hazardous areas. In these high-risk settings, selecting the appropriate pump is of utmost importance to ensure safety, prevent potential ignition hazards, and maintain smooth operation. It is crucial to understand the various types of hazardous area pumps, as they play a vital role in industries and applications where explosive atmospheres may be present.

Pump stations are crucial components that help to pump and transport sewage, wastewater, and stormwater from low-lying areas to higher elevation areas where it can be treated and disposed of safely. However, maintaining pump stations' optimal performance is not an easy task. They can experience issues such as blockages, equipment failures, and power outages.

In larger commercial developments, there is often the requirement for one or more pump stations when liquid is unable to be discharged under gravity. These devices act as a holding chamber to collect stormwater, sewage or another wastewater. The pump stations then transport the waste for reuse or disposal by utilising transfer pumps.
