Safe pumps for one of the largest chemical plants in China
At the BASF-YPC joint venture, KSB pumps meet the most stringent requirements in terms of safety, reliability and efficiency.
At the BASF-YPC joint venture, KSB pumps meet the most stringent requirements in terms of safety, reliability and efficiency.
The project:
A chemical plant based on the model of BASF
The People's Republic of China, a country where tradition meets modern, today is the motor that drives global economic growth. Counting six million inhabitants and being the second largest city in Eastern China, the industrial city of Nanjing keeps rapidly evolving, and so do its economy and infrastructure.
The client:
BASF-YPS, a German-Chinese joint venture
Modelled on the BASF main plant in Ludwigshafen, one of China's largest connected chemical areas was built in Nanjing. BASF-YPC is a 50:50 joint venture of BASF and Chinese Sinopec, which produces chemical products and polymers destined for the domestic market.
The challenge:
Safe handling of dangerous liquids
Our experts for chemical and refinery applications were involved as consultants already in the selection and planning phases of the project. Because when handling aggressive, corrosive, explosive or toxic fluids, the safety of people and the environment takes top priority at KSB.
The solution:
Standard chemical pumps and process pumps from KSB
Our standardised chemical pumps reliably meet the most demanding requirements, like high output and extremely low energy consumption. All process pumps supplied are equipped with mechanical seals, ensuring maximum operating reliability and little maintenance.
