More potable water for Montreal

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.

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.

Water running out of a pipe

Clean water for 1.3 million people: KSB pumps deliver drinking water to Java

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.

Fachada del complejo del Quartier Q 6 Q 7 de Mannheim vista desde la calle

Una arteria vital en el barrio del futuro

Equipar proyectos arquitectónicos emblemáticos es un honor y un reto para todas las empresas participantes. Aun cuando, como KSB, se hayan logrado anteriormente importantes hitos en innumerables proyectos de infraestructura internacionales, estos no suelen estar a la vista del público general. Sin embargo, en el caso del Quartier Q 6 Q 7 de Mannheim, no había duda de que todo el mundo tendría la mirada puesta en si todos los sistemas funcionaban fiablemente en el nuevo complejo multifuncional de la ciudad.

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.

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.
