Lowara Pumps for World’s Biggest Covered Ice-Skating Rink
你可能会被误认为是我思考12000 m²的冰s a glacier. In fact, it’s the vast Thialf ice-skating track complex in Heereveen in The Netherlands, and Lowara is at the rink’s heart, supplying the water that keeps the skaters skating.
Lowara has worked closely with Remon Water Treatment to create a successful and highly efficient system.
Initially Lowara borehole pumps extract groundwater and supply it to 300m³ capacity tanks. Two iron-removal sets remove the iron in the water and basement water is prepared using a Reverse Osmosis (RO) set. The RO set features a Lowara SV vertical multistage pump and Hydrovar variable speed drive to provide maximum energy efficiency, supplying 30m³ tanks which are used to ‘re-surface the ice’. Between 5000 and 10000 m³ of water is used each year. Remon is a prominent company in the field of water treatment and Lowara supplies borehole pumps, multistage pumps and Hydrovar to support the company’s activities.
