FISH-FRIENDLY PUMPS
FAIRBANKS NIJHUIS PRODUCTS
MODEL: VPF RANGE, HPF RANGE
The Fairbanks Nijhuis patented
fish-friendly pump makes it pos-
sible to pump water from water
bodies (rivers, lakes etc.) whilst
protecting the fish population. It
allows 100 percent of the eels and
at least 97 percent of other fish to
come through the pumping sta-
tion unscathed. The pump was de-
veloped in response to the adverse
effects that conventional pumps
have on the fish stock.
A turbine model is also available.
Your decision to use Fairbanks Ni-
jhuis products is therefore also
a decision to sustainably protect
wildlife. What is more, the high ef-
ficiency of the pump ensures ex-
tremely efficient and eco-friend-
ly operation.
• Capacities: 1,500 to
180,000 m3/h
• Discharge head: 1 to 8 m
• High pump efficiency
• Available in horizontal and
vertical configuration,
both dry and wet mounting
• Easy installation in existing
pumping stations
• Various materials (also with
concrete housing)
FEATURES
• Lakes
• Rivers
• Canals

variable speed. The motor is sub-
merged and completely integrat-
ed in the pump. This configuration
ensures a high degree of efficien-
cy and controlled flow in both di-
rections to opposing ballast tanks.
The BiFlow can be installed in the
double bottom of a ship – with ei-
ther dry or submersible installa-
tion.

WATER TREATMENT
Clean drinking water is the ba-
sis for all healthy life on Earth. Yet
there are still entire populations
without access to clean drinking
water. This means that diseases
and epidemics are ever present.
Fairbanks Nijhuis has a large
portfolio of pump designs for use
in water treatment plants: verti-
cal turbines and vertical propel-
ler pumps are used to pump wa-
ter into the plant from the source,
while end suction pumps and split
pumps move the water step-by-
step through the treatment pro-
cess. The discharge connections
of the pumps cover a large range
of diameters, to meet the differ-
ent requirements of water treat-
ment plants.
IRRIGATION
Regional rainfalls often fail to
meet the agricultural demand for
water. Artificial irrigation using
pumps provides the only alterna-
tive.
Whether the water is supplied via
irrigation channels or dedicated
groundwater sources – Fairbanks
Nijhuis pumps play a decisive
role in the irrigation of agricultur-
al land. And they do this with low
electricity consumption and the
highest level of plant availability.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS
A wide variety of pumps is used
in industrial processes. In-depth
knowledge of the particular indus-
trial processes is essential when
dealing with these sometimes
sensitive liquids. The steel, oil, gas
and petrochemical industries
require reliable, high-quality
pumps: Fairbanks Nijhuis has this
knowledge and has gained a great
deal of experience over the last
100 years.
FLOOD PROTECTION
As a Dutch company, Pompen Ni-
jhuis was confronted with the risk
of flooding from the North Sea
right from the start. As a result,
Fairbanks Nijhuis has special ex-
pertise in flood protection, land
reclamation, drainage and irriga-
tion. Pumping stations form an
essential component of all flood
protection, irrigation and drain-
age measures. Customers of Fair-
banks Nijhuis benefit greatly from
the company's experience in this
highly specialised field. New de-
velopments in this market include
fish-friendly pumps and turbines
that protect the habitat of fish in
rivers and bodies of water and
also save energy.
Here are a few examples of pres-
tige projects in which Fairbanks
Nijhuis pumps have been used:
New Orleans (USA), IJmuiden
Pumping Station (The Nether-
lands), South-to-North (P.R. of
China) and Marina Barrage (Sin-
gapore).

SHIPPING AND DREDGING
In maritime applications, it is vi-
tal that processes operate with-
out interruption. Standard pumps
usually suffice for the operating
processes on most ships, but cer-
tain applications call for special
pumps. Whether standard or spe-
cial pumps are needed, Fairbanks
Nijhuis has the right solution and
the accompanying expertise and
service. For example, high-capac-
ity bidirectional in-line pumps are
used to fill or empty hulls.
In the case of dredgers, the key
characteristic is “wear resis-
tance”. As a rule, the pumps are
used to convey sludge and liquids
with a high solids content, which
present the pump materials with a
major challenge. For these ships,
Fairbanks Nijhuis supplies various
pumps that require only simple
maintenance in order to achieve a
long service life.

WASTEWATER COLLECTION/LIFTING STATIONS
Wastewater and sewage has to
be collected and then treated in
a sewage treatment works. Lift-
ing stations and pumping stations
are used to overcome gravity and
transport the wastewater from A
to B, irrespective of the topogra-
phy.
The pumps can either be dry
mounted or submersible. Fair-
banks Nijhuis offers a broad range
of pump types, which are available
in various configurations to ensure
reliable wastewater disposal.
DESALINATION
Special pumps are required in or-
der to achieve optimal system effi-
ciency in the desalination process.
The pumps need to guarantee un-
interrupted operation and must
be made of a material that is able
to withstand the corrosive and ag-
gressive medium: seawater.
Since every desalination plant has
its own specifications, Fairbanks
Nijhuis adapts the pump design to
suit the required flow rate and dis-
charge head. This makes it possi-
ble to achieve maximum reliabil-
ity, flexibility and durability, while
also ensuring maximum energy
efficiency.

SEWAGE PLANTS
Municipal and industrial waste-
water has to be treated in order
to prevent damage to the environ-

As the population grows, the de-
mand for treatment plants and
thus also for pumps increases.
Fairbanks Nijhuis pumps can be
found in numerous municipal sew-
age plants around the globe.
Pumps are used everywhere: for
transporting the untreated waste-
water, pumping it into the treat-
ment plant, conveying the acti-
vated sludge and for pumping the
backwash water. Various types of
impeller ensure smooth, uninter-
rupted operation, so that liquids
containing fibres, solids or abra-

IJMUIDEN PUMPING STATION, The Netherlands
The IJmuiden pumping station was
constructed in 1975. It comprised
four pumps with a total capacity of
160 m3/s (576,000 m3/h). In 2004,
two Fairbanks Nijhuis propeller
pumps were added in order to in-
crease this capacity.
Each of these pumps conveys water
at a rate of 50 m3/s (180,000 m3/h).
The permanent flooding that previ-
