Mining Case Study — Ending Pump Failures with Electric Diaphragm Power

We replaced failing centrifugal pumps with a Graco QUANTM i20 electric diaphragm pump integrated into SCADA-ready PLC control. Result: ~100 GPM flow, zero seal failures, and ~$16.5k/year energy savings.

From Failure to Flow — The LibertyCES Transformation

❌ Before: Operational Issues

  • Centrifugal pump failures from slurry abrasion & seal breakdown.
  • Inconsistent flow rates slowed production.
  • High maintenance costs due to repairs & downtime.
  • No remote monitoring left operators blind.
  • Low energy efficiency strained budgets.

✅ After: LibertyCES Implementation

  • Zero seal failures with QUANTM i20 electric diaphragm pump.
  • 100 GPM flow achieved under slurry duty.
  • PLC + SCADA integration for live control.
  • Energy-efficient operation cut power costs.
  • High uptime with remote visibility.
