KSB Group is to supply 43 pumps for the Huaneng Yingkou Power Station expansion project located at the Gulf of Liaodong in China. The Huaneng Yingkou power plant is said to be part of a special economic development zone, and is the first so-called "supercritical" power station in China , providing a generation capacity of 600 MW. This particular type of power plant is capable of achieving the maximum efficiency currently possible, KSB says.

The order, amounting to several million euros, includes the supply of power station pumps and a number of specially designed corrosion-resistant pumps destined for use in the seawater desalination plant which is currently under construction and set to produce the fresh water needed for the power plant's circuits through reverse osmosis.

KSB says that its proven track record and experience in building boiler feed pumps for supercritical plants and high-pressure pumps for RO systems helped them secure the order. The majority of the pumps to be supplied are manufactured in China.
