Motorised Diesel Pumps
POA
Diesel pump units are a very effective, viable option for irrigation and are particularly popular where those sites are constrained by power supply – either no or insufficient/unreliable power at the pumping site.
The capital cost is often less versus the cost of an electrical system (getting power to a site + pump & controls).
Modern diesels have progressed over the years with efficiency and excellent economy is possible with careful pairing of engine and pump. ​
A 200L fuel tank (minimum) is common and the units can be supplied trailer or skid (3-point linkage) mounted with easy start controls that can monitor motor temp etc. and pumping pressure.
Various sizes are available and just like a PTO pump the pumping performance is excellent with high flows and pressures possible.
It is not uncommon to run 2-3 irrigators at once with the correct pump unit and irrigation design. This can cut back on pumping time significantly compared to a traditional electric pump system. The pump will often have a chopper inlet for excellent effluent solids handling ability.
