Intermediate (booster) pumping station
The intermediate (booster) pumping station is used to extend the length of the hose system.
The purpose of the booster pump station is to compensate for pressure losses due to hydraulic resistance in the hoses.
The booster diesel pumping station is installed approximately 2/3 of the total length of the hose line, counting from the beginning, if it exceeds a length of 4 km.
The diesel booster pump station operates automatically and does not require the presence of an operator.
Areas of application of booster pump stations
Booster pumping stations can be used in a variety of applications which may include a variety of terrain, climatic conditions, distance of the site from a lagoon or location requiring pumping or transferring liquids.
The use of booster pumping stations is a cost-effective solution as it reduces the financial cost of applying manure with a hose system compared to barrels by approximately 5-6 times. Moreover, pumping over a huge distance reduces the time of annual application by 40% compared to barrels.
- Pumping liquid manure or its liquid fraction by hose system at a remote distance (from four kilometres) for further application to fields as fertiliser;
- Pumping of liquid manure between manure storage facilities that are far away from each other;
- Sewage pumping;
- Pumping wastewater from sewage treatment plants;
- Pumping of water for land reclamation;
- Pumping of contaminated liquids from construction pits;
- Pumping liquids with solid inclusions or fibres (booster station pumps can be equipped with a macerator to prevent blockages and malfunctions);
- Dewatering of excavations and trenches;
- Liquidation of consequences of floods and floods in case of emergency;
- Supply of water to fire-fighting sites directly from the water source over long distances.
