Powerful pumping system
21 March 2014
High-pressure water jetting/pumping systems manufacturer, Hughes Pumps, recently supplied its largest ever pump system for use in a specialist sewer cleaning application in Iraq.

The powerful pumping system, supplied through Hughes’ Middle East agent Action International in Dubai, will enable the end-user specialist contractor appointed by the Iraqi authorities to clean large diameter sewers that have not been maintained for many years, and help towards restoring the country’s water and wastewater infrastructure.
The Hughes’ system comprises an HPS5000 pump with a performance of 775lpm at 250bar (205gpm at 3625psi) driven by a 500hp Volvo diesel engine, all supplied in a crash-frame for mounting to a locally packaged truck in Iraq.
