Renewable Energy Solutions
As the world’s population increases, so does the demand for energy. Using conventional methods to generate energy means the continuous use fossil fuel reserves resulting in increased emissions of greenhouse gasses, which result in further damage to the environment.
Renewable Energy is the energy use of sun, wind and running water to generate this much-needed energy. This energy can be used to generate light or heat used for domestic or commercial reasons but can also be used to drive a submersible pump which can deliver water.
Windmills were originally very popular where water was needed and power was not available, and were a solution to renewable energy. When compared to solar pumping, windmills are however more difficult and expensive to install due to their bulky nature. Over their lifetime they need constant maintenance which result in higher lifetime costs.
An advantage of using Boreline® is its long-term maintenance-free capabilities which are aligned with those of solar pumping. Boreline® rolls flat which makes it easy to handle and transport to the remote sites so ideal for solar pumping. Once operational, the product can be left as long as the pump is functional. No corrosion or internal scaling occurs and when the pump has to be removed for servicing, this is a very simple operation.
The table below can give an indication of the long term and short term benefits associated with solar pumping and the use of Boreline®. The factors mentioned are a general explanation and are dependent on many different issues.
