Mubarak Pumping Station, Egypt
Ultrasonic discharge measurement

Mubarak Pumping Station near the Nasser Lake

In partnership with Hitachi Ltd. Japan, Quantum Hydrometrie installed
21 ultrasonic discharge measurement systems at the Mubarak Pumping
Station in front of the the 200 km long El-Zahed canal system. This canal
system carries the volume pumped from the Nasser reservoir for the
agricultural irrigation and water supply in the Nubian desert.

The 21 load controlled pumps with adjustable revolution speed (plus
3 reserve pumps) in the Mubarak Pumping Station
(length 140 m, width 45 m, and height 60 m) service the El-Zahed canal
system until 334 m³/s. Due to the fluctuating water level in the Nasser
reservoir, the static pump height varies between the intake basin and the
canal system: h = 19 m and h = 54 m. The to-be-ascertained discharge
in the canal system fluctuates between Q = 0 m³/s and Q =15,9 m³/s.
