Water pumping is a large and often costly part of any mining or industrial operation which can rely on very remote and limited water sources.
For such remote locations without grid power, solar pumps offer a clean and simple alternative to fuel-burning engines & generators. They pump the most during dry sunny weather, which is often when the water is most needed, they require no fuel deliveries and very little maintenance, and don't make any noise.
After the success of LORENTZ pumps in the agricultural and domestic sector the LORENTZ engineers have designed two new products which meet the high volume requirements of the mining and industrial sectors.
These two products are a breakthrough in the current solar pumping market, far exceeding the pumping capacity of their predecessors and competitors.
The PS4000 Centrifugal series utilizes the same technology as the standard range, only both the motor and controller are capable of handling more power and the wet-ends have a larger capacity. This pumping series coupled with up to 5kW of solar power can deliver volumes of up to 300m3 daily from a 20m head. The maximum lift capability is 170m at which it can still deliver 30m3 daily.
The PS9k & PS15k Series combine a newly developed motor and controller boasting a range of additional functions. This combination, together with up to 15kW of solar power, can deliver 500m3 daily at 20m head and 130m3 daily at 140m head. Both systems have optional AC back up available.
The life cycle cost of a solar pumping system over a realistic 20 year life span can be up to 80% lower than a diesel pump. Despite the higher investment needed to set up a solar pumping system, compared to diesel powered pumps, solar pays itself off quickly, especially when one considers the higher running, maintenance and service costs of diesel engines, with the inevitability of peak oil set to drive fuel prices sky high.
