KSB's Know-how brochures give in-depth technical information on pumps and valves. They are designed to provide guidance on the planning and operation of pump systems.
When planning pressure booster systems for drinking water, service water, rainwater harvesting and grey water applications, both legal requirements and individual requirements, i.e. structural requirements, must be taken into account. Find out what you need to be aware of when designing your system to ensure simple installation and maximum supply reliability.
Pressure surges can cause considerable damage that could be prevented by preventive analysis and surge control measures. Gain basic knowledge of the complex phenomenon of surge pressure – from possible causes, prediction and analysis through to prevention of pressure surges.
Submersible pumps in discharge tubes offer many advantages in terms of planning and operation in water and waste water applications. The design of peripheral equipment plays a crucial role. This brochure provides information about the selection of pumps’ hydraulic systems, the design of the pump sumps and their accommodating structures, pump installation and electrical equipment. Further planning elements covered include calculation of the support rope length, installation and variants of cable assemblies, cable entry and cable holders as well as venting of the discharge tube.
In addition to the Know-how brochure "Planning information for Amacan® submersible pumps in discharge tubes", we shed light on further aspects of pump station planning. Read more about determining the support cable length, installation and variants of cable harnesses, cable feed-through and support as well as venting the pipe sump.
Use our brochure to find and dimension the right Amarex KRT submersible motor pump for your application. You will also receive information about the drive and installation as well as piping layout and structural requirements, including the selection of valves. The focus of the information is on KRT pumps with a flow rate > 200 l/s.
In municipal waste water treatment plants, submersible mixers are employed in storage tanks as well as in tanks of the biological treatment stage. Gain a basic understanding of the processes and applications of submersible mixers and of where to position them in a tank. Receive valuable information on how to select mixers correctly, e.g. based on CFD simulation.
In addition to various options for groundwater extraction, you will find planning aids here for deep wells with submersible borehole pumps as well as tips for the construction of drilled wells. Information on factors influencing the operation of wells and recommendations for selection round off this brochure.
This brochure contains tried-and-tested planning information on the integration of tubular casing pumps into a system. Not only the system characteristic curve’s influence on the pump’s operation must be taken into account but also the forces occurring at the pump and in the system during operation, as the intake has a decisive influence on the pump’s performance and operating behaviour.
Optimise the life cycle costs and CO2 emissions of your pumping stations operated with axially split pumps. This guide for consultants and operators provides comprehensive information on the environment, transport lines and methods for interpreting data. It also explains how you can reduce energy consumption and total costs.
