Solids in waste water pipes: hydraulic model testing by KSB

Hydraulic model testing: Solids transport in waste water pipes

Many waste waters contain solids such as fibres, sand, grit, stones, or organic contaminants. To make sure that these are also transported safely through the waste water pipes, the flow velocity in particular must be right. KSB has joined forces with the Technical University of Berlin to conduct a comprehensive model test to determine which flow velocities are ideal for which solids, and how they can be specifically influenced. Read on to find out more.

Exact transient flow analyses can prevent immense damage

Pipelines from as little as a hundred metres in length and conveying only a few litres per second may be subject to damage due to surge pressures. This makes precise calculations and safety measures so important. Learn more about this problem by looking at an example.

Pressure booster systems for high-rise buildings: Pool on top of a skyscraper

What parameters are to be considered when sizing pressure booster systems?

In larger buildings the pressure supplied by the water utilities is usually insufficient to supply the upper levels with enough water. The solution: pressure booster systems. These pump systems respond to fluctuating demand in water supply and adjust their output accordingly. What aspects in particular influence the sizing of such a system? Find out more here.
