Replacement of vertical shaft pumps with amphibious pumps

Old scenario (year 2021)

Vertical Shaft Pumps (3 sets)

Maximum system flow: 2,304 m³/h(640 l/s)

Installed power: 1,050 HP (772.3 kW)

System pressure 48-50 mca

Power of each engine 350 HP(257.4 kW)

Flow per pump of 768 m³/h (213.3 l/s)

Hydro-energy index of 0.335 kW/m³/h

Monthly Electricity Cost R$ 205,714.00 (R$ 0.37kWh)

Annual Electricity Cost R$ 2,468,568.00

Insufficient flow for peak consumption periods

High electricity costs

Difficulties with maintenance

No operating reserve for most of the year

New scenario (year 2021)

Pumps type ANFIBIA (2+1 sets)

System flow (2x): 2,412 m³/h (670 l/s)

Installed power: 700 HP (514.8 kW)

System pressure: 48-50 mca

Maximum system flow (3x): 3,618 m³/h (1,005 l/s)

Installed power: 1,050 hp (772.2 kW)

System pressure: 52 mca

Power of each engine 350hp(257.4kW)

Flow per pump of 1,206 m³/h (335 l/s)

Hydro-energy index of 0.213 kW/m³/h

Monthly Electricity Cost R$ 130,798.00 (R$ 0.37kWh)

Annual Electricity Cost R$ 1,569,576.00

Comparison and gains

  • Customized study, design and installation according to site conditions;
  • Maximum system flow increased from 640 l/s to 1,005 l/s (+57%) with the same installed power;
  • Availability and operational guarantee with a reserve pump installed, where normal operation is carried out with only 02 units;
  • Modernization of equipment and elimination of existing maintenance problems in long-shaft systems;
  • Energy gain, with the cost of pumped water going from 0.335 to 0.213 kW/m³/h (-36%);
  • Projected annual savings of R$ 898,992.00 and a return on investment of 20 months.
