1 Agricultural Water Pumping Systems

2 We provide packaged solutions and process expertise in the agricultural industry. National Oilwell Varco (NOV) has the largest name in the design, manufacture and supply of progressing cavity (PC) pumping equipment and packaged systems, worldwide. In addition, we are also the global leader in the procurement and manufacture of products and services to the oil and gas industry. We provide a comprehensive range of reliable solutions for the multiple application demands of today's industries, including agriculture. Designed and assembled in Australia, our agricultural range of submersible, transfer and solar pumping systems provide reliable watering solutions for all livestock and small irrigation applications, as well as domestic and town water supplies for remote and rural communities. Purpose-built to withstand the harshest environments, our pumps can be driven by electric, petrol, diesel, PTO, or solar energy. These pumps will dependably transfer from sources such as boreholes, tanks, dams, wells, creeks, lakes and rivers. With multiple advantages over traditional water pumps, our MONO TM brand of pumps are self-priming, self-cleaning and highly efficient with low running costs. And, with only one moving part, requires minimal to zero maintenance. Synonymous with our brand, is the efficient pump principle in which a helical rotor turns inside the stator. This simple design allows very high pressure at low volumes. Our range of surface and borehole pumps are capable of delivering heads up to 300m (990ft) and flows up to 840 l/m (221 GPM). Unlike other pump technologies, the self-cleaning action of the PC pumps are ideal for bacterial problematic bores, such as high iron oxide deposits. Livestock water supply PC pumps with one moving part Low maintenance & running costs Irrigation systems Self-priming High suction lifts Water extraction & transfer Iron oxide & silt tolerant Ideal for problem bores Domestic/town water supply Brushless DC motor (solar) High torque, minimal maintenance General fluids transfer Stainless steel internal parts Corrosion free, long life

3 Mono SUN-SUBTM Pump Delivering steady flows even in low-light Solar power is now more reliable and cost effective than either windmills or diesel motors, when combined with our MONO progressing cavity pumps. The SUN-SUB submersible, is our most popular eco-friendly solar water pumping solution, that delivers economic, trouble free and reliable water, even when cloudy. Providing flow with every revolution, this highly efficient solar system maximizes the amount of water pumped throughout the day. Purpose built to withstand the toughest conditions our SUN-SUB range is ideal for off-grid and remote locations worldwide. Designed for pumping potable and brackish water from 4" (100 mm) or greater bores the SUN-SUB system comes in a range of sizes. Available with either stationary or GPS tracking solar arrays, ranging from 200W-2400W, this pump can produce very high flows, up to 120 m3/d (31.7 GDP)* and discharge pressures up to 150 m (492 ft). With a helical PC wetend direct coupled to a stainless steel brushless DC motor, a steady flow is reliably produced and unaffected by changes in differential pressure either in the bore or on the surface. All packages come with programmable electronic pressure control and can be easily automated with the addition of external float switches or pressure kits to your pipework.

11 Additional Information On cloudy days Our Mono solar pumps keep working even in low light. When it is cloudy, your pump will slow down but because it has no minimum speed (unlike a centrifugal pump), it will keep drawing water. Our system is one of the only solar packages on the market that allows you to control the speed of the pump, therefore controlling your flow. If you have a very low yielding bore, this control is critical to ensure the pump doesn't run dry, or collapse the bore. Daily flow rates Minute by minute flow is irrelevant to a system that pumps from dawn to dusk. Our figures are based on the daily average performance of a pump. Flow will be highest on sunny days when you most need water. Budgeting for solar Your solar powered pump will quickly pay for itself by saving on diesel, petrol or electricity bills. A solar pumping system costs about the same as an old-fashioned windmill. Health and safety concerns Our pumps keep you on the ground. You will not need to use a harness or work at heights. We can replace your windmills as a safer option. Water level protection Controller features include over programmable pressure cut off to sense when storage tanks are full. In addition, there is a float switch/level probe inputs to sense the bore water levels and protect the pump from dry running. Pump and panel life Our pumps can last for decades. Our first installation was back in 1985 and we are still going strong. Owners of a solar system can expect many years of reliable pumping power. How our solar pumps work without batteries Other solar pump motors need batteries to keep up speed, wasting up to 30% of the electrical energy in the process. Our solar pumps use the same DC (direct current) produced by the panels. Together with our low-speed pumping power and the electrical efficiency of the MPPT, today you have the most productive solar pumping available. Weather resistance Solar panels are far more cyclone resistant than windmills. All array frames have been designed to withstand 140km/ hr winds and can be easily modified to withstand 210km/hr storms. The toughened glass panels are renowned for their resistance to hail. industrial@nov.com nov.com/industrial
