Overview
The German Federal Ministry for Research and Technology and the German
Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation have sponsored the project that was
implemented by the GTZ, and Muenchen University from Germany and the Renewable
Energy Research Centre at the Royal Scientific Society from Jordan. A pump test
facility has been developed and installed in Jordan to serve as a tool for
testing several types of pumps and as a key for selecting the appropriate
technology for certain application.
The project is implemented in close collaboration with Netzch Co, the
pump manufacturer, where several modifications was executed on the pump based
on field results and inputs.
• Pre-feasibility studies.
• Engineering.
• Installation of the system.
• Commissioning of all system.
• Installation of complete
sensors, devices, and data logging system.
• Collecting data for all
relevant parameters (hydraulic parameters like head, flowrate etc. And electric
parameters (voltage, current, power…etc.) based on 2 seconds readings over 3
basic years and then extended for other several years.
• Development of components
(mainly the screw pump) and systems so as to achieve most energy efficient
optimum system.
• Cooperating with the pump
manufacturer (NEZTCH Co.) to develop most appropriate pump.
• Applying all possible energy
efficiency measures in water pumping systems including equipment, piping,
fittings…etc. to minimize power requirements.
• Analyze water and energy
consumption for all pumping stations.
• Monitoring hydraulic head to
investigate drawdown and its effect on pump efficiency and thus to determine
the needs for development and/or changing the pump to meet the variable well
pumping head. The aim is to keep pump working at its maximum efficiency point.
• Many status, activity, and
Biannual detailed reports.
• Perform protective tests on
all pump station equipment.
• Perform various Simulation
scenarios.
