CAESB: Agua limpia y dignidad para mucha gente

Las bombas forman parte del "Sistema de Abastecimento Norte", que abastecerá a 355 000 residentes de siete sectores residenciales, con una inversión de 135 millones de reales

En 2024 se entregaron las primeras bombas que equipan el "Sistema de Abastecimento de Água Norte", un complejo que está construyendo el Gobierno del Distrito Federal a través de la Companhia de Saneamento Ambiental do DF (Caesb). Se trata de cuatro conjuntos de motobombas equipados con bombas Multitec 250, con una capacidad de hasta 350 000 l/s cada una y un peso de 40 toneladas, que se instalarán en la Estación Elevadora de Agua Tratada Lago Norte. La inversión ascendió a casi 6 millones de reales.
Más agua, más salud
 
Estas bombas forman parte del conjunto de modernos equipos previstos por Caesb para el "Sistema de Abastecimento Norte", que llevará agua potable para abastecer a 355 mil personas que viven en siete sectores residenciales de la región norte de la capital: Sobradinho I, Sobradinho II, Grande Colorado, Boa Vista, Taquari, Itapoã y Região dos Lagos. En el proyecto, el GDF y Caesb están invirtiendo 135 millones de reales.
La "Elevatória de Água Tratada Lago Norte" (SMLN ML – tramo 4) fue diseñada para ampliar la capacidad de almacenamiento y distribución del Sistema de Agua Norte. Esta unidad de Caesb contará con dos depósitos metálicos con capacidad para almacenar 4.000 metros cúbicos de agua; una estación elevadora de bombeo de agua accionada por cuatro motobombas, con una potencia de 2.000 caballos cada una; y una subestación transformadora de energía eléctrica. En esta etapa se están invirtiendo 40 millones de reales, y se prevé que las obras concluyan en enero de 2025.
«Estas motobombas funcionarán como el corazón de la Elevatória Lago Norte», explica Luís Antônio Reis, presidente de Caesb. «Con ellas, la estación podrá bombear el agua almacenada en una zona más baja hacia los embalses ubicados en regiones más altas, en este caso, los embalses de Taquari y Sobradinho, que se encuentran en construcción. Desde estos embalses, el agua se distribuirá a la población de la región norte del Distrito Federal, como Sobradinho, Grande Colorado y Taquari».

More potable water for Montreal

The Canadian city of Montreal extracts water from the St Lawrence River for two large potable water treatment plants. To satisfy population growth, the city’s water department needed a new large pump for the larger of the two plants. This had to be of the same specifications as the existing KSB pumps – and run efficiently and smoothly.

An opened ONI-AquaClean filter flushing station with piping and KSB pump

Sustainable cleaning of cooling circuits

Water quality in cooling circuits has a decisive influence on energy efficiency and the reliability of systems and processes. However, practical experience shows that a relatively large number of companies have to deal with high operating and maintenance costs due to poor cooling water quality, and in individual cases even experience the failure of production plants and system circuits.

KSB Guard for the cooling water system of ContiTech AG

In times of increasingly professionalised cyber attacks, the importance of secure network components is growing exponentially. This is one reason why internet-enabled products are thoroughly scrutinised by customers before they are used. KSB’s cloud-based KSB Guard was examined by the rubber and plastics specialist ContiTech, and passed the validation with flying colours. This achievement almost overshadowed the fact that the main contract involved the refurbishment and modernisation of an entire cooling water system.

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 on tap. This can involve planning redundancies into otherwise smoothly running systems.

Turning on the taps for a booming region

Water is an essential element of our everyday lives. Ensuring an uninterrupted supply of clean drinking water in compliance with increasingly demanding legal requirements is a challenge for water supply utilities, especially in hot summers with little rain. This situation is exacerbated by increasing demand for water in agriculture. Only with experienced project partners at their side can water companies make precious water continuously available in the required quantity and quality.

Condition of the pumping station before work started (left) and the completed system (right)

Equipped for the future: Refurbishing a waste water pumping station

Refurbishing an existing system often requires more know-how than setting up a new installation. The equipment being repaired may no longer be cutting edge, but it still serves its purpose for the operator. Comprehensive documentation may be missing and spare parts hard to come by. KSB SupremeServ specialises in these complex challenges and successfully applies a tailored catalogue of measures.

Armed for the flood of the century

Having agreed that Landshut must never again experience a catastrophic flood as it did in 2013, the city’s authorities launched a construction project in 2018 with the goal of protecting the Lower Bavarian city from flooding for generations to come. Particularly with regard to climate change and the resulting increase in heavy rainfall events, being adequately prepared for extreme weather in the future was a matter of urgency.

Reservoir and dam of the Dreilägerbachtalsperre near Roetgen

A large vortex around the smallest particles

The Dreilägerbachtalsperre reservoir on the German-Belgian border near Roetgen has been supplying water to the district of Aachen since 1911, and takes advantage of water resources in the mountains of the nearby Eifel. From 2004, the connected drinking water treatment plant has routed raw water from the reservoir to a membrane filtration system. The ultrafiltration membranes have such small pores that they allow pure water to flow through, but retain all other substances in the water such as bacteria, viruses and proteins.

System incorporating piping, pumps and valves

More transparency – with KSB Guard

Even high-quality pumps can sometimes experience malfunctions whose exact cause can only be determined by a long-term diagnosis. External factors are often to blame, and these can only be identified if the affected pump is monitored over a longer period of time using suitable sensor technology. KSB Guard has been developed to determine a problem’s cause so that remedial action can be taken.

Emscher waste water sewer, Emscher canal

High pump efficiency – Europe’s largest wastewater treatment project

The 51 km long Emscher sewer is considered to be the largest wastewater project in Europe and serves the sustainable restoration of the River Emscher in the Ruhr area of Germany. Today, 21 specially designed KSB pumps in two wastewater pump stations ensure that incoming wastewater from the eastern Emscher Valley is pumped from a depth of around 40 m to 8 m below ground level to provide sufficient slope for the wastewater to flow off again down the underground tunnel.
