LUF long-distance water supply

Long-distance water supply GP-12000

Basic set-up:
Two oil-hydraulically operated floating pumps are set down in the water and transport approx. 11,000 litres of water per minute (per floating pump approx. 5,500 litres of water per minute) at 2.5 bar over a distance of up to 60 metres to a booster pump on the mainland. The booster pump transports these 11,000 litres of water per minute at 12 bar over a distance of 6 km in a Ø300 mm hose to its destination.

Configuration options GP-12000:

Configuration 1:
After the water transport with the first booster pump over 6km, as described in the basic set-up, a second booster pump can be used to transport the water even further. This means that 11,000 litres of water per minute can be supplied over a distance of 12 km.

Configuration 2:
It is also possible to connect two independent units of the pump container in parallel. This means that 4 oil-hydraulic floating pumps and 2 booster pumps are used, which means that 22,000 litres of water per minute can be transported over 6 km in two Ø300 mm hoses to the destination.

A visual representation of the set-up and the different configurations, as well as technical details can be found in the info folder.

The GP-12000 can also be used in combination with the LUF Multi. Hereby the LUF Multi is used for laying hose, hose collecting and as a booster pump.
