Funding entity JOGOSA Obras y Servicios
The project is part of the SHIFT! project ("Save water, Save energy, Save costs, Sustainable irrigation with integral turbine pump") and is financed by the European Eurostars programme. JOGOSA Obras y Servicios is a partner of the consortium created for the development of this project, the rest of the members of the consortium being the Dutch company aQysta Holding BV and TU Delft University.
The objective is to develop several versions of the Integral Pump-Turbine (BTI), adapted to the initial specifications. A BTI is a set of pump and turbine, compact, which takes energy from a channel of water to pump a part of it, and thus be able to irrigate or provide drinking water.
It is, therefore, an equipment that does not need external energy, such as electricity or fossil fuels (or others). This allows it to be independent of the electricity grid, and reduce operating costs, with a minimum impact on greenhouse gas emissions.
