Waste Oil & Mud
Waste oil, drilling mud, and contaminated fluid handling demands pumps capable of dealing with abrasive particles, varying viscosities, entrained solids, and unpredictable fluid compositions — often in remote or harsh environments. Standard pumps degrade rapidly in these conditions. Pump Power Australia supplies robust, purpose-selected pump technologies proven in waste oil recovery, drilling mud circulation, and oily water handling across mining, oil and gas, and industrial operations.
Waste Oil & Mud Pump Applications
- Waste oil recovery and collection — used lube oil, cutting oil, and hydraulic fluid recovery from industrial facilities
- Drilling mud circulation and transfer — oil-based and water-based drilling mud handling on mining and resource exploration sites
- Oily water separation feed pumps — transfer of oily water mixtures to separation and treatment systems
- Sump and pit dewatering — contaminated water and light slurry removal from industrial sumps
- Mine tailings and mud transfer
Recommended Pump Types
- Progressive cavity pumps — handles abrasive, viscous, and solids-laden drilling mud and waste oil with low shear and consistent flow
- AOD pumps — safe waste oil transfer without electricity in hazardous area environments
- Slurry pumps — abrasive mud and slurry transfer where solids content and particle size demand wear-resistant construction
- Gear pumps — waste oil transfer and recovery where consistent metered flow is required
