Revision history [back]

A water supply project in Sumba Indonesia involves the use of a hydram. The hydram that has been installed has a supply head of ~6m and is required to pump to ~26m. The supply flow is approximately 30L/min. The drive pipe is 2" and the discharge pipe is 1". When the pump was commissioned, it did not pump water to the tank at 26m. The delivery line was disconnected and a flow of 5L/min was confirmed at a height of 20m. From what I understand from the theory, it should be able to pump another 6m into the tank. It was also confirmed that there were no blockages in the line between where it was broken and the tank. Any technical assistance would be much appreciated
