Agriculture & Irrigation
Grundfos can supply irrigation pumping solutions that reduce energy costs, safeguard water resources, and keep productivity at its best.
Irrigation starts with sourcing water for the crop from groundwater or surface water supplies. Pumps used at the water intake need to meet changing water supply conditions, which have an effect on the pressure and flow required from day to day and from season to season.
A pumping system must be able to deliver the right amount of pressure and flow at the nozzle. Traditionally, water has been distributed from the water source at low or constant pressure from pumps operating at a single speed, where the simple solution is to oversize the pump. However, this is wasteful of energy, water, and the of the farmer’s investment.
Grundfos can supply variable speed pumps that are able to adjust head and flow to compensate for changes in water levels, reducing energy bills. If filtration is required at the water intake, intelligent pump controls ensure that reduced pressure at the nozzle does not happen over time.
After water for irrigation is sourced, water treatment may be necessary. Treatment may involve filtration or the addition of fertilizer or chemicals.
With Grundfos, you get the full range of pumping, dosing, disinfection and measurement solutions from one supplier.
Once the source water has been treated, it must then be distribute to the crop using various techniques, such as pivots or agricultural sprinklers.
Maintaining correct pressure and flow in the pipes and at the nozzle means more water per kWh and savings on energy, which is one of the highest cost items in farming. Pump control also safeguards the reliable flow of water by protecting the pump from dry-running, motor breakdown or power supply irregularities.
