아프리카의 한 농촌마을이 NOV Mono의 태양열 펌핑 솔루션 덕분에 일 년 내내 안정적으로 곡물에 관개할 수 있게 됐다.

Sun-Sub™ 잠수식 펌프 시스템은 물 접근권이 크게 향상된 Eritrea 지역의 Mereb 강 둑에 위치하고 있다. Visual Direct International에서 팀으로 작업하며 Sun-Sub 펌핑 시스템은 정지된 배열로 고정되어 있다. 이 시스템은 깊이 7.3m의 우물에서 하루 100㎥의 물을 끌어올릴 수 있게 해주며, 콘크리트 표면의 저수지까지 228m가 넘는 거리를 공급한다.

 

 

 

A farming community in Africa is now able to irrigate its crops on a reliable year-round basis, thanks to a solar pumping solution from NOV Mono.

 

The Sun-Sub™ submersible pump system is located on the banks of the Mereb River in Eritrea, where the community now has greatly improved access to water.

 

Working with the team at Visual Direct International the Mono™ Sun-Sub pumping system was fitted with a stationary array.

 

This enables it to draw some 100 m3/day from the 7.3m deep well, and pump it over 228 metres to a concrete surface reservoir.

 

This can hold up to four days supply, ensuring that the farmers always have water to irrigate their citrus trees. The Sun-Sub can operate at speeds of 1800-2400 rpm, and is powered by 2,400W of solar panels.

 

The Sun-Sub submersible pump is available with either a stationary or GPS tracking array, and with power options ranging from 150 Watts up to 2400 Watts.

 

All Sun-Sub systems are supplied complete with pre-wired solar modules, array frames, pump element, submersible motor and solar motor controller.

 

“Severe shortages of diesel, and very high prices, mean that conventional pumps are often not an option for irrigation water duties in places like Eritrea,” says Mono’s Maurice Calderon.
