Vietnam agricultural irrigation system to use Xylem pumps in $1.7m contract

December 9, 2015

Xylem will help to provide a reliable water supply at the Phu My pumping station in the Báº¯c Ninh province for 5,600 hectares (ha) of cultivated land in the area.

The project forms part of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development’s ‘Strengthening Water Management and Irrigation Systems Rehabilitation Project’ to improve the province’s irrigation capacity.

The Phu My pumping station irrigates cultivated land in the Thuan Thanh district and draws water from the Duong River during rainy season to improve agricultural land.

Xylem’s Flygt pumping solutions will be the first submersible pumping solution in Báº¯c Ninh province and will form a principal element of the irrigation scheme. With a capacity of 39,000 cubic metres per hour (m3/h), it will cater for 25,000 people in the region.

The plant is due to be operational by the end of 2015.
