What size genset?

Our BBR300S standard units are generally fitted with a 20Kva 3 phase genset equipped with a 200ltr long run time fuel tank for maximum operational outcomes. The BBR600HD units can be fitted with up to 50 or 60Kva gensets depending on the size of the enclosure. Every unit is sized for the individuals requirements to achieve the best output possible.

What water flow will I get?

Flow rates are dependant on the submersible pump and generator selection. The BBR600HD will deliver greater flow rates than the BBR300S due to its ability to accommodate a larger genset and submersible pump. Every unit is sized to individual requirements to achieve the desired result. Flow rates from 2.5lps up to 18lps are possible.
