title: GPM-Eliminator Saves Glencore Millions
description: While at Glencore’s Nickel Rim South mine, Bryan Wilson, now General Manager at Lac des Iles mine in Ontario, was challenged with improving the mine’s underground sump dewatering and solids removal system. Bryan’s ultimate solution was the GPM-EliminatorTM pump, for its capabilities in pumping solids and converting to a well-type sump, now coined the “Wilson Sump”, from the traditional underground sumps. The bottom line, Glencore has literally saved millions of dollars since installing a GPM-Eliminator.

# GPM-Eliminator Saves Glencore Millions

While at Glencore’s Nickel Rim South mine, Bryan Wilson, now General Manager at Lac des Iles mine in Ontario, was challenged with improving the mine’s underground sump dewatering and solids removal system.

Bryan’s ultimate solution was the GPM-EliminatorTM pump, for its capabilities in pumping solids and converting to a well-type sump, now coined the “Wilson Sump”, from the traditional underground sumps. The bottom line, Glencore has literally saved millions of dollars since installing a GPM-Eliminator. **[Read the full story here](http://www.gpmco.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Sudbury-Mining.pdf)**.
