Rental of flood pumps at railway station in Catalunya

In an emergency response, Protech Rental Services was the company responsible for solving a severe flood at a station on the Catalan railway network (FFCC)which had become completely inoperative due to heavy rains. This station was part of the suburban network that connects with the city of Barcelona.

Immediate response with rental of flood pumps

To deal with this emergency, the client contracted a comprehensive flood pump rental service, which included transport, assembly and commissioning of the pumping system in record time.

Thanks to the experience of our team and the use of self-priming pumps specialized in liquids with suspended solids, it was possible to transfer more than 50,000 m3 of water and sludge in a few hours, restoring the operation of the station in less than 24 hours.



Equipment used in the intervention

Three high-performance pumps were used in this operation, available from our centrifugal pump rental service:

  • Centrifugal self-priming vortex diesel pump
    Flow rate: 800 m 3/h | Solids passage: 125 mm


  • Self-priming centrifugal pump
    Flow rate: 750 m 3/h | Passage of solids: 76 mm


  • Self-priming centrifugal pump
    Flow rate: 350 m 3/h | Passage of solids: 76 mm


All of them operated with the support of a portable generator, ensuring energy autonomy throughout the intervention.

How to size a stirrer for a biogas digester based on diameter, height and substrate type

Sizing a stirrer for a biogas digester involves more than considering volume alone. Diameter determines horizontal coverage, height defines vertical reach, and substrate type determines the risk of sedimentation, crust formation or loss of homogeneity. The practical consequence is clear: poor agitation can compromise process stability, increase stirrer energy consumption and raise total operating costs.
