Pumping Capabilities

Diaphragm Pumps

Heavy-duty pneumatic and mechanical diaphragm pumps for reliable transfer of corrosive, abrasive, and viscous liquids across a broad range of industrial applications.

  • Self-priming operation
  • Suitable for solids-laden fluids
  • ATEX certified variants available
Diaphragm

Hydraulic Submersible Pumps

Hydraulically driven submersible pumps for below-grade applications, flooded environments, tank bottoms, and confined space liquid extraction where electric-powered equipment cannot be used.

  • No electrical ignition risk
  • Suitable for submerged operation
  • High flow rates for rapid extraction
Submersible

Mobile Heating Boilers

Trailer-mounted mobile heating boilers for warming high-viscosity products prior to pumping — essential for bitumen, heavy fuel oil, and congealed sludge transfer operations.

  • Rapid deployment on trailer
  • Steam and hot oil heating options
  • Works in conjunction with all pump types
Heating

Containerised Units

Self-contained pumping systems built into standard shipping containers — providing a complete, weatherproof pumping station that can be transported to and deployed at any remote site.

  • 20ft and 40ft container options
  • Complete with controls and instrumentation
  • Rapid site commissioning
Containerised

Full Viscosity Range

Specialised equipment selection and configuration for every product type — from light flash petroleum products through to ultra-viscous bitumen and tar products.

  • Bitumen and heavy fuel oil
  • Light petroleum products
  • Water and wastewater streams
All Viscosities

Emergency Response

24/7 emergency pumping response capability for spill containment, flood response, and urgent liquid removal — deployed from our KZN base anywhere in South Africa.

Field Service Fleet & Mobile Lab

Every EarthWize pumping operation is supported by our dedicated field service vehicles and mobile laboratory. Our service vans carry a comprehensive range of spare parts, monitoring equipment, and safety gear — enabling our teams to maintain, troubleshoot, and repair equipment on-site without costly delays.

The mobile laboratory capability allows on-site product sampling and quality verification — particularly important in petroleum product transfer operations where contamination or commingling must be immediately identified.

  • Dedicated EarthWize branded field service vans
  • On-site product sampling and testing capability
  • Full instrumentation and monitoring equipment
  • Rapid spares and maintenance support
  • Experienced technicians deployed with every operation
