PSI Expands Industrial Dewatering System Line with High-Capacity Configurations for Construction and Mining

High-Capacity Dewatering Systems Now Available for Expanded Industrial Applications

HOUSTON, TX — Process Solutions International (PSI), a manufacturer and supplier of industrial fluid handling and material processing equipment, has expanded its line of industrial dewatering systems with new high-capacity configurations engineered specifically for the demands of active construction sites, open-pit mining operations, and oilfield drilling fluid reclamation. The expanded product offering includes both containerized all-weather units and open-air configurations, each custom-engineered to application-specific flow rates and fluid characteristics, with available capacity up to 250 gallons per minute.

Growing Water Management Challenges Drive Demand for Industrial-Grade Dewatering Equipment

Water management has become an increasingly complex challenge across heavy industrial sectors. Construction excavations, below-grade foundation work, and tunneling projects generate continuous groundwater accumulation that standard submersible pumps are not designed to handle. These environments typically produce sediment-laden water, slurry runoff, and fluid with suspended solids that clog conventional equipment and interrupt project timelines. In mining, active open-pit and underground operations face inflow conditions that demand continuous high-volume removal to keep working faces accessible and safe. PSI’s engineering team developed the expanded system configurations in direct response to these field conditions.

Chemical and Mechanical Separation Process Recirculates Water and Reduces Solid Waste Disposal Costs

Each PSI dewatering system uses a combined chemical and mechanical separation process to reclaim water or oil from waste fluid streams. Polymer injection through a three-pump feed system initiates the separation of suspended solids from the liquid phase. The clarified liquid is then recirculated back into site operations, eliminating the cost of trucking in clean water and significantly reducing the volume of solid waste requiring haul-off. A variable frequency drive (VFD) control panel, inlet manifold with vertical agitator, mix tank, centrate tank, acid pump, and a 3x2x13 centrifugal pump are integrated on a single skid inside each unit. Containerized versions include full climate control with air conditioning and heating, making them viable for extended remote deployments in both extreme heat and cold.

Construction Dewatering Systems Address Critical Groundwater Challenges on Active Job Sites

For construction contractors, PSI’s dewatering systems address one of the most critical and often underestimated phases of ground-up project work. Excavations for foundations, utility trenches, and underground structures routinely encounter groundwater volumes that exceed the capacity of basic jobsite pumps. PSI systems process these fluid streams at scale, handling abrasive solids content that would damage or disable conventional equipment. The open-air configuration is designed for construction applications where the system will be relocated frequently between excavation zones, offering the full processing capability of the containerized unit at lower cost and weight.

Mining Dewatering Pumps Engineered for Continuous Operation in Chemically Aggressive Environments

Mining deployments require equipment that operates continuously in chemically aggressive environments. Pit water in active mining operations typically contains abrasive particulates, fine solids from blasting, and chemical contamination that accelerates wear on standard pump systems. PSI mining dewatering systems are available in Class 1 Division 2 certified configurations for direct deployment in environments where flammable gas exposure is a concern, including underground mining operations and oil and gas sites. The containerized design with full climate control allows permanent installation at remote mine sites without external infrastructure support.

Oilfield Engineering Heritage and Global Distribution Support International Project Deployments

PSI’s dewatering systems were originally developed for oilfield drilling fluid reclamation, one of the most demanding fluid processing applications in the industrial sector. Drilling mud recirculation requires separating water from solids containing chemical additives, drill cuttings, and formation material, a process that informed the design of PSI’s current system architecture. That same capability now supports construction and mining clients operating domestically and internationally.

PSI ships equipment from its manufacturing facility and maintains international stocking distribution locations to reduce lead times for clients in markets including the Permian Basin, Gulf Coast, Middle East, and Canada.

“Every construction and mining site presents a different fluid challenge. We build each system to the specific flow rate, fluid type, and site conditions of the application — whether that’s a single excavation dewatering a foundation pour or a continuous pit management system running around the clock at a remote mine site. The expanded configurations give our clients more deployment options without compromising on processing capacity or certification requirements.”
