Dewatering & Mining - Patriot Products Group

Keep water out of the pit—and production on schedule.

PATRIOT engineers dewatering systems to manage changing inflows, abrasive solids, storm events, and remote-site demands before water disrupts access, equipment, or production. Application-specific pump sizing, dependable priming, wear-resistant components, automated controls, and field-ready power help mining operations stay productive in conditions that punish lesser equipment.

Key Challenges

1 Abrasive slurries and high-solids content cause rapid wear on standard pump components, leading to frequent rebuilds.
2 Remote mine locations make equipment service calls expensive and time-consuming—every breakdown costs production hours.
3 Water inflow in an open pit swings from trickle to peak with the weather, and there is rarely anyone standing at the pump to respond when it does.
4 Dust, extreme temperatures, and elevation derate engines and hydraulics, so power and pump have to be sized against the actual site rather than a standard industrial rating.
5 Heavy rain events can overwhelm site water management in a matter of hours—when a pump goes down, containment overflows and the operation is out of compliance before anyone reaches it.

How PATRIOT Solves Them

1 Heavy-duty construction with wear-resistant materials stands up to abrasive mine water and slurry applications.
2 Easy-access maintenance design with the Patriot Priming Chamber’s 3 quick-clamp system puts routine service in your own crew’s hands instead of a service call, and diesel drive keeps the package running where grid power doesn’t reach.
3 Packages adjust their operating parameters to site conditions automatically, with limits set remotely—nobody has to drive out to the bench to change them.
4 Application design reviews run jointly with our partner manufacturers size the power unit and pump for your site’s temperature and altitude, not for a sea-level datasheet.
5 The Patriot Priming System holds prime through the high air entrainment and surging flow a storm event throws at it, so the pumps are still moving water when it matters most.
