##### Allflo Pumps & Equipment was engaged to deliver a **booster pumping solution** to transfer water from a river to a remote mine site, where water supply was critical to plant operation and production continuity.

 

### The Challenge

The mine relied on a **16 km pipeline** as its primary water supply. The existing pump installation was unable to deliver sufficient flow, restricting plant performance and threatening production targets.

Key challenges included:

- Maximising flow over a long pipeline distance
- Preventing over-pressurisation of existing pipework
- Maintaining stable and reliable water supply to the site

### The Allflo Solution

Allflo’s application engineering team assessed the system using **pipeline data and contour mapping** to fully understand elevation changes and friction losses.

The solution involved supplying a **booster pumpset** designed to optimise flow while protecting the pipeline.

The selected system:

- **Doubled the available flow** to the plant
- Used **automatic pressure control** via pressure transducers
- Incorporated **variable speed operation**, allowing pump output to increase or decrease based on discharge pressure
- Prevented over-pressurisation while maximising throughput

A **Remko booster pump solution** was selected to meet the duty requirements and operate reliably in a remote mining environment.

 

### Outcome

The upgraded booster pumping system restored reliable water supply to the site and enabled the mine to operate at production levels required for ongoing profitability.

This project demonstrates Allflo’s capability to deliver **engineered pumping solutions for long-distance water transfer in remote mining applications**, where performance, control, and system protection are critical.
