damo Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Absolute rubbish. There is not one pump that can displace that much water in existance, not even close. I clould not even imagine what would even power a pump 1/100th of the size they're claiming. You seen the desalinisation pump in Dubai? I'd say it's around 100m x 100m x 100m. Is, or was, the biggest in the world. Size is irrelevant, the systems flow depends its ability to cope with pressure. eg PN32 in a DN1600 pipe will have a simmilar flow rate to PN16 using DN1200. This is typical of fibreglass intakes for desals around the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can suck a 20,000 litre tanker full of milk out in 20 seconds? 20,000 litre tanker full of milk out in 20 seconds - That is only 1 cubic metre per second - a far cry from 50 million Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
