Pumps and Systems manufacturing major EKKI has rolled out a new range of “Sump Submersibles” for the global market.

The roll out happened at the Building and Construction Expo – Big 5, now underway in Dubai.

Speaking to Business Line from Dubai, Kanishka Arumugam, Director, EKKI Pumps said the new range of pumps could be used to draw water from any type of clean water sumps such as tanks, wells, river, lakes and dams for agriculture, building services and public utilities.

“Sump submersibles have significant advantages over the traditional surface monoblocs and multistage pumps as it can be kept completely submerged, requires no pump room and above all is noiseless,” he explained.
