Located in the city of Araxá in Minas Gerais – Brazil, the water pumping station in the homonymous dam is responsible for the public supply of the region and adjacent areas. Due to the local topography, the water cannot be distributed directly from the dam to the higher areas of the city, requiring the use of a floating pumping station, whose design was developed for the use of amphibious centrifugal pumps. Four model pumps were selected. M1-345/300B with a system flow of 1,500 m³/h and a pressure of 20 mca, satisfactorily meeting the requirements of the project, referring to energy efficiency, resistance to solids, capacity variability, ease of maintenance and low operating cost.
There are several analyzes for sizing a pumping station, however, as for the amphibious centrifugal pumps, we highlight the low internal pressure drop by inserting in its required NPSH, thus favoring the operating point in the system curve.
Another important point is that this equipment does not need to be aligned, adapting to variations in speed caused by local weather conditions, such as water currents and winds in the region.
The adaptability of the floating elevator manufactured by HIGRA is also suitable for the different levels of the reservoir, working at different angles, without impairing its operability and efficiency, without causing wear to the equipment, or problems with operation and maintenance.
