The project:
Removal of duckweed from the local drafting water reservoir.
Company carrying out the works:
Municipality of Hamberge (County Stormann, Schleswig-Holstein)
PLA Pumpen und Anlagen GmbH, Kaltenkirchen
Tsurumi supervisor:
Mr. Andreas Rössig (Field Sales Team North)
The problem:
In the summer a lot of additional duckweed grows in standing water. An exchange of oxygen is hindered by this, displacing animals and plants. This is prevented by suctioning away the duckweed. The reservoir has a a surface area of approx. 500 m².
The solution:
A free-floating 8-FSP scum skimmer was used. The entire pond surface of 500 m² was cleaned. In three hours, 7 cubic meters of duckweed were suctioned into prepared containers.
