Flood or drought, Floating Pumps come to the rescue

Cartagena, 1 August 2008

The inconvenient truth is slowly sinking in. Global warming has a number of nasty consequences. Some of those consequences (according to the intergovernmental panel on climate change) are:
- More flooding will occur.
- Droughts are on the increase.
- In Western Europe much more rain is expected.

ETEC produces floating pumps to fight this all.

Floating pumps with a number of essential traits. They can be transported very fast to wherever they need to be. They can be installed and put in operation in no time. They only require shallow water depth for operation.

The main trait however is they are able to pump huge quantities of water. To be precise, up to 5000 litres per second. For the exact technical details you can visit the following link; http://www.etecsa.com/en/ficha_tecnica_bomba_flotante.pdf.

CEO Eric Thiriez and Commercial Director Eduardo del Castillo will be the special guests on the CBI stand 400 in hall 7 during Aquatech. ‘We are convinced we have an excellent package for rental companies and disaster and calamity management authorities’, Eduardo del Castillo assures us, ‘and we are eager to explain them our unique product’.

The pumps can also float in a river, canal or lake, pumping water onto the dry land in all sorts of irrigation applications.

Besides floating pumps ETEC also produces:
- Stationary axial flow pumps for massive water movements
- Hidrotec (drainage) pumps to be operated with agricultural tractors
- Mobile Axial flow pumps mounted on a trailer
- Tracto Pumps for irrigation and fish farming

CBI experts Peter van der Sman and Jan Nyeboer are thrilled to have to have ETEC exhibiting at the Aquatech exhibition. ‘This floating pump simply makes one enthusiastic about the immense possibilities’ according to Van der Sman.

You can meet the ETEC people in person from 30 Sep – 3 Oct at Aquatech, RAI Amsterdam, hall 7 stand 400. If you need more information, please send an email to Jan Nyeboer, he can be reached via cbi@kommanet.nl.
