Design Specifications

The turbine impeller is designed to operate with a low rpm, low shear stress, and has a slow rate of pressure difference over the blade ensuring it will not cause any negative impact on the marine life. The system is designed in a way that it will not sustain any damages if any flooding occurs in the river. During a flooding situation, the elements of the entire product will submerge up to 10 m below the water. The overall system can be monitored from any location at any given time as it is integrated with a remote monitoring software.  All the parts of the rotor and the casting of the turbine have been designed using Stainless Steel.
