Pumping solids without screening

Climatic changes force us to save water. Given that the pollution load has remained the same, the solids content in waste water has actually increased, which has been a technical challenge for waste water treatment plants. Until now, upstream pumping stations had to implement costly measures to ensure reliable operation. KSB responded to this problem with a new technical development that does away with a previously essential step in pumping stations.

Smart monitoring tool secures drinking water supply

Most of us in Germany rarely worry about access to a constant supply of food-grade drinking water. However, in the background water supply utilities are making enormous efforts to ensure that this everyday resource is always reliably in tap. This can involve planning redundancies into otherwise smoothly running systems.
