Full throttle into the future: intelligent solutions for climate-neutral fuels

It's time to step up a gear – for the sake of our climate!

Technical innovation has been a strong tradition at KSB for 150 years. Developing innovative solutions is our daily work. For many years now, KSB has also been active in the area of biofuels and synthetic fuels. It knows the processes involved and can offer a whole host of state-of-the-art products.

Biofuels and synthetic fuels are gaining importance, especially in those industries in which electrification is only feasible in the long term (for example, shipping and aviation).

• Biofuel is mostly liquid fuel produced from biomass for use in combustion engines. Renewable raw materials such as rapeseed, sugar beet, wood, straw and residues from the food processing industry can be used as basis. The most important types of biofuels are biodiesel, bioethanol, biomethane and vegetable oil (rapeseed oil).

• Synthetic fuels or synfuels are produced from a mixture of isolated carbon dioxide and climate-neutral hydrogen. These fuels are currently in the development phase. However, they will play a major role in the future, especially in industries that are not easily electrified

Whether you are a consultant, licensor, engineering contractor or operator, you need a partner who is familiar with this topic and understands your needs. KSB has both the necessary expertise and the right products for you:

• Pumps used in fermentation, distillation, dehydration and separation processes work under the toughest conditions. MegaCPK is an extremely powerful standardised pump for aggressive fluids, while CPKNO  has a semi-open impeller for handling fluids containing solids.

• The pumps of the Eta, Omega and RDLO type series ensure reliable and efficient water transport, which is crucial for many processes within biofuel production.

• The multistage pumps of the Movitec, Multitec and HG type series provide the required water pressure in boilers.

In addition to our extensive pump range, we also supply valves that are suitable for a variety of process fluids and supply fluids. These include manual, actuated and controlled valves as well as those equipped with positioners:

• The ISORIA butterfly valve is an all-rounder. With over three million standard variants, this valve is extremely versatile.

• The double-offset DANAIS butterfly valve can also easily handle high temperatures.

• The KE butterfly valves and the SISTO diaphragm valves are the right solutions for aggressive fluids or special requirements relating to emissions control.

As a full-range supplier, we are able to equip entire systems with the necessary pumps, valves and automation solutions. We provide products to the API and ISO standards, including mag-drive pumps, suitable mechanical seals, and lots more. Moreover, an ATEX-compliant version of our intelligent monitoring solution, KSB Guard, is available to facilitate smart monitoring of systems.

Thanks to our technical excellence and passion for innovative solutions in the area of eco-friendly technologies, we are making an important contribution towards greater sustainability and therefore a better future. Welcome to the world of green solutions!
