4 years ago, this company from Itupeva started several researches,
with the purpose of creating the first Brazilian solar-powered submersible pump.
Two models were created: P100 and R100.
The P100 is specific for wells.
And the R100, it can be used
in cisterns, mainly in water transfers for short distances.
The operation principle is based on a
bank of capacitors
and the energy generated by the solar module
is stored in this bank of capacitors
and by a microprocessor,
it controls the energy that is sent to the pump.
The solar module absorbs the energy and generates a direct current
that converts in an impulse which results in the pump operation.
Let's say the two pumps work in the same way.
Thus, from this electromagnet
we can have basis to make this adaptation
the best utilization of energy
This is the differential of our product
that works instantaneously,
so it captures the energy and immediately transfers to the pump.
Therefore, it eliminates this battery bank
because it is better to have a reservoir full of water
than a battery full of energy.
The pump is vibratory; it does not use a rotating engine.
So it can make the pump works even on cloudy or rainy days.
One of the main company's purposes
was to bring to the market a product that could meet the needs of some regions
where there is no access to electric energy,
in addition to minimize the environmental impacts
caused by existent pumps.
We have this equipment installed in an Indian reserve in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul.
This equipment is... Today, each equipment provides water for 3 families.
It's being a great success because even on rainy days,
as I pointed out, which is a characteristic of the project,
the family always gets water.
There were days, cloudy days, it was possible to get 300 liters of water per day.
There is a missionary in Mato Grosso do Sul, Father Alois,
who is developing a work for 35 years:
to bring basic sanitation to all Indian villages.
He drills wells in these villages
and until then he used imported solar pumps.
We provided 3 pumps for him, he is working with us for one year,
and he is very pleased with the product
due to its characteristics.
In a letter sent last May (2012)
the missionary tells that the use of the pumps in Indian villages
has been contributing a lot for the population health,
eliminating diseases directly related to water.
Positive responses
like these that makes the company
invest in sustainable technologies.
Today, the company is highly committed with the environment.
After all, we are transformers.
If we take something from the environment, we have to return it to the environment.
This is our great commitment.
Fresh water,
drinkable, potable is running out...
Pollution...
