Diesel-Driven Pumps

Our Diesel-Driven Pumps are designed for demanding Industrial applications, offering enhanced mobility and durability. With modern engines, variable speed control, and compliance with global emission standards, these pumps ensure efficiency and environmental protection. Available in sound-attenuated canopies, they provide low noise, enhanced safety, and superior performance across varied operational conditions.

What is a Diesel-Driven Pump?

A Diesel-Driven Pump is typically a Dry Prime Self-Priming Centrifugal Pump powered by a diesel engine, designed for use in areas where an electrical power source is unavailable or unreliable. BBA Pumps as an example feature a fully automatic priming system, with the BA series pumps quickly priming and re-priming, even from dry conditions. The BBA Pumps priming system includes a diaphragm vacuum pump, a check valve on the discharge side, and a float box for air-water separation on the suction side. These pumps are known for their high efficiency in moving large volumes of water and other fluids, making them suitable for a range of demanding applications. As they are powered by an internal combustion engine, Diesel-Driven Pumps are highly versatile and portable, often mounted on mobile units to be easily transported to remote or industrial sites.

Advantages of Diesel-Driven Pumps

Independence from Electrical Power: Diesel-Driven Pumps can operate in remote locations where electricity is not accessible, making them ideal for use in remote construction sites, agricultural fields, and disaster relief scenarios
High Flow Rates: Diesel-Driven Pumps typically provide the highest water flow rates compared to other pump types, allowing for efficient draining and rapid water transfer over large areas
Extended Run Times: Diesel engines are known for their long operating periods, as they generally come equipped with larger fuel tanks and options for auxiliary fuel connections to run from fuel cubes/tanks, reducing the need for frequent refuelling
Fuel Flexibility: BBA Pumps' Diesel engines can run on all types of diesel fuel that meet the minimum requirements of Europe: EN590, UK: BS 2869/A1/A2, USA: ASTM D 975-09a 1-D S15 or 2-D S15 & ASTM D 975-09a 1-D or 2-D 1) 2), making them cost-effective and adaptable
Durability and Longevity: Diesel Pumps are robust and built for extended operation in harsh conditions, making them highly reliable for continuous, demanding use
Environmental Compliance: Many modern Diesel-Driven Pumps are designed to meet Stage V emission standards, and models often include features such as DOC, DPF|, SCR, and AdBlue where applicable for reduced environmental impact. Certain BBA models, such as the BA100 and BA150KS avoid the requirement for after-treatment systems due to low emissions

Common Industries & Applications

Wastewater Management: Diesel-Driven Pumps are frequently used in Wastewater Treatment facilities for dewatering, sewage transfer, and managing floodwaters
Agriculture & Irrigation: Farmers rely on diesel pumps to irrigate large fields, ensuring consistent water supply in remote areas or during power outages
Construction & Mining: These pumps are essential for dewatering construction sites and mining operations, where water removal is critical to maintain operational efficiency and safety
Emergency Flood Response: In disaster-prone areas, Diesel-Driven Pumps are vital tools for emergency flood response, capable of quickly moving large volumes of water to mitigate damage
Chemical & Industrial Applications: Certain models of Diesel-Driven Pumps can handle the transfer of chemicals, making them suitable for industrial applications that involve the movement of corrosive or hazardous fluids

What are Your Fluid & Media Transfer Characteristics?

Diesel-Driven Pumps are versatile and can handle a range of fluids depending on the model, so when selecting a model fit for your operation, it’s important to consider the characteristics of the fluid you will be transferring. These include:

Clean Water: Standard pumps can efficiently move clean water, making them ideal for irrigation and flood control
Wastewater & Sewage: Many Diesel-Driven Pumps are equipped to handle dirty water, including debris, making them useful for dewatering and sewage management
Chemicals: Some units are designed to pump corrosive chemicals, requiring specialised materials to resist wear and damage
Slurries & Sludge: Certain models are capable of handling thick and viscous fluids, making them suitable for mining, wastewater treatment, and industrial applications

Materials Available

The choice of materials for Diesel-Driven Pumps is crucial in ensuring longevity and suitability for different applications:

Cast Iron: Used for its durability and resistance to wear, making it a common material for pump housings
Stainless Steel: Ideal for pumps handling corrosive liquids or chemicals, as it provides superior resistance to rust and chemical damage
Aluminum: Offers a lightweight option for mobile pumps, providing durability without adding unnecessary weight
Composite Materials: These materials, used in fuel tanks, are more resistant to condensation, reducing the risk of diesel bacteria and pollution

Maintenance Required to Keep Your Diesel-Driven Pumps Running

Proper maintenance is essential for ensuring the longevity and optimal performance of Diesel-Driven Pumps. Key maintenance tasks include:

Regular Fuel Checks: Always use the correct fuel as per the engine manufacturer’s specifications to prevent engine damage. Consider using synthetic fuels that comply with EN 15940 standards
Filter Replacements: Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines on fuel and air filter replacement to avoid clogs and ensure smooth operation
Routine Engine Checks: Inspect and service the engine regularly, observing maintenance intervals, especially if operating for extended periods. Some models, like BBA’s DriveOn® pumps, offer service intervals of up to 1500 hours, reducing downtime
Condensation Prevention: Use composite fuel tanks to minimise the risk of condensation and diesel contamination, particularly in high-humidity environments
Electronic Monitoring: Modern diesel pumps with engine management systems allow you to monitor performance parameters, helping you identify issues early and perform preventive maintenance

Additional Factors to Consider

When selecting a Diesel-Driven Pump, consider the following additional factors to ensure you make the best choice for your application:

Sound Attenuation: Many modern diesel pumps come in sound-attenuated canopies, which reduce noise, provide weather protection, and offer a higher trade-in value. These are ideal for urban or noise-sensitive environments
Variable Speed Control: Look for pumps with variable speed engines, which allow for precise control of pump performance. This can help reduce fuel consumption and wear on the engine, extending the pump’s service life
Certified Spark Arrestors: In certain applications, especially in areas with strict safety regulations (such as oil refineries or dry forest regions), pumps with certified spark arrestors may be required to prevent accidental fires
Environmental Regulations: Ensure the pump complies with local emission regulations. Diesel engines that meet global emission standards help reduce environmental impact and may be a legal requirement in some regions
Leak-Proof Base: Opt for pumps with leak-proof bases to avoid fuel or oil spills during operation or maintenance, preventing environmental contamination
