Comments:

This pump is used by the fire brigade to handle fires at the Verbrugge Terminals in Terneuzen. Because it is a huge terrain, with flamable goods (wood products), there is need for a system that moves huge amounts of water in a short time.
This pump has a Volvo Penta pump inside (750 HP), and this pump is connected with large hoses to 2 water monitors. The monitors have a capacity of 10.000 l/m each.
