Flood protection

In the North of Germany, the Eider-Treene Deich- und Hauptsielverband is responsible for monitoring and managing the water levels in the rivers the Eider and the Treene and for providing flood protection for villages and cities on the river banks. Over the last decades, there have been a number of instances where the water level has been critical and, particularly in the the cities Tönningen and Friedrichstadt have been regularly threatened by floods. As the existing pump works that are managed by the Verband are struggling to cope with rising water levels, it has assessed their pump systems and decided to increase their pumping capacity. They required units that would offer high flows in combination with ease of handling. After providing a demonstration of the B300 tractor driven pumps, Eider Treene’s manager, Mr. Wollesen was impressed by the performance and selected the 12” self-priming pumps for the application.
The main factors for his decision were:
Ease of use: The pump can be quickly installed by two people and as the pump is self priming and offers a free passage of 70 mm, thereby allowing problem-free pumping after installation. Unit size: The compact tractor-driven unit can be easily installed in tight spaces. Moreover, as the unit is tractor-mounted, it can be deployed on river banks that are normally inaccessible for trucks. Low maintenance: As the pumps are tractor driven, it has no diesel engine that requires maintenance and regular testing. In addition, the simple and 100% mechanical self-priming pump-end also requires minimal maintenance only. High performance: The 12” pump offers a flow of up to 1200 m3/h, providing the capacity required to offer maximum protection in case of an emergency.
Pump characteristics Self priming pump unit. Can be connected directly to the PTO shaft without any gearbox.
Max flow: Max head: Duty point: Suction lift: Req. power: Assembly:	1200 m3/h (5280 US GPM) 15 meter (49 ft) 1000 m3/h at 8 meter (4400 US GPM at 26 ft) max 5 meter (16 ft) 55 kW (74 HP) at 1.000 r.p.m. built on a 3 point hitch frame
