TM Micro
The plug-in 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
The TM unit sits on the weir crest like a saddle. A vacuum pump primes the siphon, water starts to flow over and through it — and stopping the machine is as simple as letting air back in.
