TM Micro

Ready-to-install package

Pre-assembled siphon turbines from 5 to 160 kW that mount directly onto an existing weir — turbine, generator, draft tube and controls in one factory-tested package. No powerhouse, minimal civil works.

How it works

How it works

The TM unit is mounted on the weir crest. A vacuum pump primes the siphon and water starts to flow through the unit. To stop the machine, air is let back into the siphon.
