Powering a Rural Water Supply Station in Iraq

To address the critical challenges of a new water station in remote Iraq—including lack of grid access, harsh environment, and limited technical capacity—we supplied a customized 90kW generator from our own brand. This robust power solution ensures reliable operation of the water pumping system. The project has become a benchmark for how targeted infrastructure investment can drive community progress, providing clean water and creating new opportunities for local development.

Client: Rural Water Committee, Nasiriyah District, Iraq

Project: New Deep Well Water Extraction and Supply System

Core Need: A stable, reliable, and easy-to-maintain power source for a new remote water station to ensure 24/7 clean water supply.

 

The Challenge: When Water Scarcity Hinders Development

For generations, this community relied on unsafe rivers and waterholes, leading to high rates of waterborne diseases. The new water station was a critical project to change the community’s destiny, but it faced a core challenge:

1.No Grid Access: The project site was in a remote area with no electrical grid coverage. Power was the primary obstacle.

2.Harsh Environment: Outdoor installation faced dust, high temperatures, and significant daily temperature swings.

3.Limited Maintenance Skills: Local assigned operators had limited technical background, requiring extremely simple and robust equipment.

4.Tight Budget: As a project combining public funding and subsidies, every dollar had to deliver maximum value.

 

The ELECPRIME Infrastructure Power Solution

We understood that the power system for the water station had to be a “reliable partner,” not a “high-maintenance machine.” Our solution focused on “Reliability, Simplicity, and Longevity.”

Precise Product Selection:

One 90kW ELECPRIME Brand New Open-Type Diesel Generator Set.

 

Why This Model:

1.Perfect Power Match: 90kW output perfectly handles the peak load of the deep-well pump, booster pump, and control system running simultaneously.

2.Durability First: The simple structure of the open-type set facilitates better cooling and maintenance, ideal for the rough operating conditions in rural Africa.

3.Optimal Value: We recommended our own brand, which delivers 92% of the performance of top-tier brands at only 60% of the cost, allowing saved funds to be used for extending the water pipeline network, maximizing social benefit.

4.Long-Life Design: Full copper windings and an industrial-grade engine ensure longevity under frequent start-stop cycles.

 

Infrastructure-Grade Customization:

1.Heavy-Duty Air Filter: To handle dusty environments and extend engine life.

2.Customized Outdoor Canopy: We designed and supplied a simple mounting base and a rain canopy, creating a complete power unit.

3.Large Base Fuel Tank: Reduced refueling frequency, enabling days of continuous unattended operation.

 

Empowering Local Service:

1.Video Training: Our engineers provided on-site training for two local youth, covering daily operation, refueling, filter replacement, and basic troubleshooting using the most intuitive methods.

2.Illustrated manual: Provided easy-to-follow operation and maintenance guidebooks with diagrams in the local language.

Long-Term Remote Support: Established a support channel via WhatsApp for ongoing assistance and problem-solving.

 

The Result: Transforming the Community

The reliable operation of the power system has fundamentally changed the community:

1.Clean Water on Tap: Achieved 24/7 stable water supply, providing over 5,000 villagers with access to clean, safe drinking water for the first time.

2.Improved Public Health: A significant reduction in waterborne diseases was observed within six months, especially in cases of childhood diarrhea.

3.Liberated Productivity: Women and children no longer spend hours each day fetching water. Children have more time for school, and women can engage in small-scale productive activities.

4.Spark of Economic Opportunity: The reliable water source enables small-scale irrigation and livestock farming, opening new economic possibilities for the community.

 

Client Testimonial:

“This generator is the beating heart of our water station. It’s incredibly tough and requires very little attention from us. ELECPRIME didn’t just give us a machine; they gave our entire community the confidence to step towards development.”

— Mr. John Cheruiyot, Chairman of the Water Committee
