FISH-FRIENDLY PUMPS
MODEL: VPF RANGE, HPF RANGE
The Fairbanks Nijhuis patented
fish-friendly pump makes it pos-
sible to pump water from water
bodies (rivers, lakes etc.) whilst
protecting the fish population. It
allows 100 percent of the eels and
at least 97 percent of other fish to
APPLICATIONS
• Lakes
• Rivers
• Canals
come through the pumping sta-
tion unscathed. The pump was de-
veloped in response to the adverse
effects that conventional pumps
have on the fish stock.
A turbine model is also available.
Your decision to use Fairbanks Ni-
jhuis products is therefore also
a decision to sustainably protect
wildlife. What is more, the high ef-
ficiency of the pump ensures ex-
tremely efficient and eco-friend-
ly operation.
FEATURES
• Capacities: 1,500 to
180,000 m3/h
• Discharge head: 1 to 8 m
• High pump efficiency
• Available in horizontal and
vertical configuration,
both dry and wet mounting
• Easy installation in existing
pumping stations
• Various materials (also with
concrete housing)

BIFLOW PUMPS
MODEL: BF RANGE
The BiFlow pump is a bidirec-
tional, in-line pump. This pump is
specially designed for the trans-
port of large amounts of ballast
water, where space requirements
for pumps and piping must be re-
duced to a minimum.
APPLICATIONS
• Loading and unloading ships
• Stabilising hulls (anti-heel-
ing)
The configuration is complete-
ly symmetrical, consisting of two
counter-rotating impellers with
variable speed. The motor is sub-
merged and completely integrat-
ed in the pump. This configuration
ensures a high degree of efficien-
cy and controlled flow in both di-
rections to opposing ballast tanks.
The BiFlow can be installed in the
double bottom of a ship – with ei-
ther dry or submersible installa-
tion.
FEATURES
• Capacities: 1.000 to
3.000 m3/h
• Discharge head: up to 30 m
• Bidirectional operation
• Large capacity
• High overall efficiency
• Symmetrical forward and re-
verse performance
• Compact design
• Very low noise and vibration
levels

WATER TREATMENT

Clean drinking water is the ba-

there are still entire populations
without access to clean drinking
water. This means that diseases
and epidemics are ever present.
Fairbanks Nijhuis has a large
portfolio of pump designs for use
in water treatment plants: verti-
cal turbines and vertical propel-
ler pumps are used to pump wa-
ter into the plant from the source,
while end suction pumps and split
pumps move the water step-by-

of the pumps cover a large range
of diameters, to meet the differ-

IJMUIDEN PUMPING STATION, The Netherlands

The IJmuiden pumping station was

constructed in 1975. It comprised
four pumps with a total capacity of
160 m3/s (576,000 m3/h). In 2004,
two Fairbanks Nijhuis propeller
pumps were added in order to in-
crease this capacity.
Each of these pumps conveys water
at a rate of 50 m3/s (180,000 m3/h).

The permanent flooding that previ-

ously caused continuous problems
in the western area of The Nether-
lands could then finally be brought
to an end by this pumping system.
Fairbanks Nijhuis was involved
right from the beginning, with the
preparation of a feasibility study.

MARINA BARRAGE, Singapore

Until recently, Singapore was reli-

ant on imports from Malaysia for its
drinking water supply. In order to
reduce this dependency, it was nec-

needed for this project.

The project had three objectives: to

supply water, to provide flood pro-
tection and to create leisure facili-
ties. In order to meet these aims, a
dam was built, separating the Ma-
rina Bay from the ocean. This cre-
ated a basin in which rainwater
could be collected. In order to regu-
late the water level in the basin and
to discharge excess water into the
sea, an adjacent drainage system
with seven pumps was constructed.

MIJNDEN LOCK, The Netherlands

The Mijnden Lock is an important

access point to the Loosdrechtse
Plassen lakes from the Drecht and
Vecht rivers to the west. In many
open bodies of water in The Neth-
erlands, including the Loosdrech-
tse Plassen, the fish are isolated
from neighbouring lakes and water
courses because the waterways are
regulated by pumping stations and
locks. The pumps in these pumping
stations and locks represent an in-
surmountable obstacle to migrat-
ing fish. And a very large number of
fish die in the pumps.

In this case, the customer, Water-

net, recognised the many advan-
tages of our fish-friendly pump
and decided to replace the exist-

DELFT WATER BOARD, The Netherlands

In Den Hoorn in the year 2000, the

largest and most modern wastewa-
ter treatment plant in Delfland was
constructed: the “Harnaschpolder”.
This plant was needed in order to
cope with the increasing volume
of wastewater and to comply with
the latest standards. Nine pump-
ing stations, including the Laakwijk
station, were retrofitted with pumps
so that some of the wastewater
from Den Haag and Rijswijk could
be transferred to the Harnaschpol-
der plant.

The capacity of the Laakwijk pump-

ing station, which dates back to
1958, was increased from 2,902 m3
to 3,400 m3 per hour. Due to the lo-
cation and the desire to retain the
distinctive building for the benefit
of the town, the retrofitting opera-
tion was no run-of-the-mill job. The
works were completed at the end
of 2011 and the Fairbanks Nijhuis
