SJP vertical propeller pumps are typically used to pump large flows of water upward at low head from open water sources such as oceans, rivers, lakes, cooling ponds, tanks and sumps.

Flooding is on the increase across the world for a wide range of reasons, which makes tackling this complex issue imperative. Periods of increased rainfall are causing more problems than previously because of changes in topography, increased building and the loss of areas that retain water. This is leading to considerable concern for municipalities and local governments, which are tasked with dealing with floodwater and the costs of repairing any damage. However, there are a range of options available including targeted improvements to the pumping infrastructure using purpose-built and efficient assets.

Sulzer delivers large axial propeller pumps with a total motor power of more than 4 MW for the Integrated Rhine Program (IRP) at Polder Rheinschanzinsel in Germany for flood protection. As part of the IRP, the regional authority of Baden-Wuerttemberg in Karlsruhe is building a retention area for flood control near Philippsburg in Germany.
