KSB’s versatile pumps and valves can be used for the most diverse of applications.

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.

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.

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.

Complete building services portfolio in operation for the multifunctional building complex of the future.

KSB products are often working away reliably in the background. However, in the case of this particular project, it’s worth taking a look behind the scenes. In Mannheim’s new multifunctional building complex “Das Quartier Q 6 Q 7”, an array of KSB products help to ensure a reliable infrastructure. Over a space of around 153,000 m² in which shopping and residential areas have been created as well as a hotel and restaurants, we have put our entire expertise in building services into practice – from drainage and water supply to heating, air-conditioning, ventilation and fire-fighting water supply.

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.

KSB pumps ensure sweet enjoyment

Their strength also lies in being able to flexibly adapt to highly complex production processes.

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.

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.

Welcome cooling for high-volume printing

In order to achieve sustainable improvements in its environmental performance, the web-fed offset printing company WKS Kraft Schlötes implements ISO 50001-compliant energy management.

For the perfect wave

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.

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.

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.
