CAESB - Água limpa e dignidade para muita gente

As bombas fazem parte do Sistema de Abastecimento Norte, que vai atender 355 mil moradores de sete setores habitacionais, com investimentos de R$ 135 milhões

Em 2024 foram entregues as primeiras bombas que equipam o Sistema de Abastecimento de Água Norte, complexo que vem sendo construído pelo Governo do Distrito Federal por meio da Companhia de Saneamento Ambiental do DF (Caesb). São quatro conjuntos motobomba equipados com bombas Multitec 250, com capacidade de até 350.000 l/s cada, pesando 40 toneladas, que serão instaladas na Elevatória de Água Tratada Lago Norte. O investimento foi de quase R$ 6 milhões.
Mais água, mais saúde
 
Essas bombas fazem parte do conjunto de modernos equipamentos previstos pela Caesb para o Sistema de Abastecimento Norte, que vai levar água potável para atender 355 mil pessoas que moram em sete setores habitacionais da região norte da capital: Sobradinho I, Sobradinho II, Grande Colorado, Boa Vista, Taquari, Itapoã e Região dos Lagos. No empreendimento, o GDF e a Caesb estão investindo R$ 135 milhões.

A Elevatória de Água Tratada Lago Norte (SMLN ML – trecho 4) foi projetada para ampliar a capacidade de armazenamento e distribuição do Sistema de Água Norte. Essa unidade da Caesb contará com dois reservatórios metálicos com capacidade para armazenar 4 mil metros cúbicos de água; uma estação elevatória de bombeamento de água movida por essas quatro motobombas, com potência de 2.000 cavalos cada; e uma subestação transformadora de energia elétrica. Nessa etapa, estão sendo investidos R$ 40 milhões, com previsão de término para janeiro de 2025.
“Essas motobombas vão funcionar como o coração da Elevatória Lago Norte”, explica Luís Antônio Reis, presidente da Caesb. “Com elas, a estação poderá bombear a água armazenada numa área mais baixa para os reservatórios localizados em regiões mais altas, no caso, os reservatórios de Taquari e Sobradinho, que estão em construção. Desses reservatórios, a água será distribuída para a população da região norte do DF, como Sobradinho, Grande Colorado e Taquari”.

More water pressure for Münsterland

Maintaining a high level of drinking water quality has been a top priority in Germany for decades, and almost all water supply utilities deliver this on a reliable basis. But another factor plays an equally important role in water supply: pressure. While water pressure drops and strong fluctuations are certainly a nuisance, they can also cause damage to appliances and equipment in households and industry. In order to avoid this, many water supply utilities have to adapt their pumping equipment to changing demand levels.

Building containing the Ruhrverband’s headquarters in Essen from the outside

Smart sensors enhance operating reliability

In one of Europe’s largest conurbations, the Ruhr Region, the Ruhrverband makes sure that enormous quantities of waste water are transferred and treated reliably. As part of this process, 125 pumping stations pump the waste water to a total of 63 waste water treatment plants. For a long time, the pumps used to be functionally tested by hand, with service personnel having to travel long distances to do so. For that reason, the Ruhrverband looked for an automated solution together with KSB.

Submersible borehole pumps withstand all weathers

Reliably providing private households and industry with power from the socket 24/7 involves some tough technical tasks. Generating electricity is only one of them. The transmission system operator TenneT, too, plays an important part in reliably providing power and balancing the grid, which is particularly challenging when renewable energies are used. TenneT's reliable partner: KSB with its extremely tough submersible borehole pumps.

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.

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.

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.

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.

15 propeller pumps with submersible motors from KSB find use in the novel surfing facility of a Milan water park. The operators of Idroscalo were able to open the new attraction right on time for the beginning of the main season. But KSB’s engineers had to put in a lot of work in advance to ensure that everything ran so smoothly and the numerous visitors could enjoy their exciting surfing experience.

The Kalle-Albert Industrial Park premises at night

KSB Guard prevents critical standstill caused by imminent bearing damage.

Reliable supply of compressed air is crucial for the Kalle-Albert Industrial Park. For the operator InfraServ Wiesbaden, this makes it all the more important to reliably monitor the pumps that operate the cooling circuit for the compressed air system.
The decision to install KSB Guard is already paying off: In October, the monitoring system detected increased vibrations. The looming threat of bearing damage was the cause. The customer immediately instigated repairs – of course during periods when pump operation was not essential for the entire industrial park.
Summary: KSB Guard prevented a sudden system failure with unplanned downtimes and far-reaching resultant losses.

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.

Bombas de alta eficiência – o maior projeto de tratamento de águas residuais da Europa

O esgoto de Emscher, com 51 km de extensão, é considerado o maior projeto de águas residuais da Europa e serve para a recuperação sustentável do rio Emscher, na região do Ruhr, na Alemanha. Hoje, 21 bombas KSB especialmente projetadas em duas estações de bombeamento garantem que as águas residuais que chegam do Vale do Emscher, no leste, sejam bombeadas de uma profundidade de cerca de 40 m para 8 m abaixo do nível do solo, a fim de proporcionar inclinação suficiente para que as águas residuais fluam novamente pelo túnel subterrâneo.
