Regarding the pumps, You need to read the RNS dated 27th July 2011 which states the pumps worked to the required design capacity, this is 1,5 mltrs per hr x24 = 36 mltrs per day for one pump, so x 2 = 73 mtrs per day. Now that was just water being pumped, so now add the effluent/AMD dissolved in the water which gives it a greater mass, similar to sea water because of the salt. Now the max is 72 mltrs per day less for the soup mixture being pumped up from depth, it will probably be close to 57 mltrs per day as said in the opening ceremony, treatment plant still not fully operational at the moment.
