SQ Flex contributes to access to water in Sierra Leone

Aptech Africa recently worked on a solar system to boost climate-smart technology at the University of Njala. This project includes a 100 KW photovoltaic generation plant with a 50 KW inverter capacity and a 145 KWh energy storage system, which directly benefits Njala University Hospital, the community of Njala Mokonde, and the students and staff of Njala University in Sierra Leone.

The system uses two Grundfos SQ Flex pumps to pump groundwater that is stored and then distributed through a pipework system. There is a dedicated reservoir that supplies the Njala University Hospital and terminal water outlets to distribute water throughout the Njala community.

The irrigation system uses solar energy to pump water from a borehole to a reservoir tank and an outlet water filter.
