CASE STUDY
LIQUID RING VACUUM PUMP FOR MINING OPERATIONS
New Corrosion-Protected Liquid Ring Vacuum Pump for Western Australian Mine
Industry: Mining
Application: Corrosive Gas Pumping
Products: RVS30 Liquid Ring Vacuum Pump, Belzona
Customer Location: : WA, Australia
PROBLEM
A mine in Western Australia required a new Liquid Ring Vacuum Pump for handling corrosive process gases.
The aggressive operating environment created a significant risk of internal corrosion, which could lead to premature deterioration, reduced vacuum performance, increased maintenance requirements and a shorter pump service life.
The mine therefore required a robust vacuum solution incorporating additional corrosion protection, together with the necessary ancillary equipment.

APPLICATION
A new RVS30 Liquid Ring Vacuum Pump was selected to meet the mine’s process requirements.
Before delivery, the pump was prepared and internally coated by Rezitech’s experienced team at its Hallam, Victoria workshop. A Belzona coating designed to protect machinery and equipment from corrosion and erosion, was applied to the pump’s internal surfaces to create a smooth, continuous barrier against the corrosive gas.
Rezitech also assembled and fitted the associated manifolds and pipework required for the pump package. Workshop assembly and inspection ensured the pump package was correctly configured and ready for transport to Western Australia.

OUTCOME
The mine received a fully prepared, installation-ready RVS30 pump package engineered for reliable corrosive gas service.
The Belzona internal coating provides enhanced corrosion and erosion protection, while the pre-installed manifolds streamline on-site installation.
The client was highly satisfied with the finished package and Rezitech’s service. Rezitech will also support installation, commissioning and ongoing maintenance in Western Australia.
