65m3/h Drip Irrigation Pump System Vineyard
Scope
From my office in the Netherlands, Think Water Marlborough allowed me to design this drip irrigation pumping system that will irrigate a vineyard in New Zealand. They did a great job installing and commissioning it.
The vineyard has terraces at different heights, requiring high pressure (8 bar) for irrigating elevated areas and low pressure (3 bar) for lower terraces. A frequency controller works with the irrigation controller to automatically adjust the multistage pump's pressure based on which terrace is being irrigated.
Cool project!
