In the past, water wheels were built exclusively as either overshot or undershot machines. The main disadvantage of such water wheel types was their low intake capacity and consequently their poor efficiency.

The recently developed SDM-OVERA, represents a hydraulic power plant with the ability to compete the performance of low-pressure turbines. In addition, it reduces significantly the production costs and eliminates the need for expensive process monitoring. The patented SDM-OVERA not only utilizes the potential energy (head), but also – for the first time (breakthrough product) – the kinetic energy (flow energy) of large amounts of water. We are a supplier of small turnkey Hydro Power Plants.

The size of the OVERA-plants depends upon the amount of water and the head. The size starts small and ends up to Megawatts.

The German Federal Department of Environment sees our technology as very environmentally friendly because the construction and operating mode guarantees that rivers can be reopened at a different kind of weirs.

So, our patented Stem Pressure Machine fulfils the EU - WFD (Water Framework Directive). If you have an old plant, sluice, water-mill, water step, dam or access to the water site with a demming possibility - contact us to discuss the various possible partnership arrangement.
