  • Cutting clogging in wastewater systems
    Clogging, or ‘ragging’, is a major headache for operators of sewage pumping stations, and can be very costly in terms of downtime and possible sewage pollution. Prof. Dr.-Ing. Paul Uwe Thamsen of TU Berlin – Fluidsystemdynamik explains how recent research may change all this.
  • High-pressure solution for reverse osmosis applications
    Modern reverse osmosis desalination plants operate with high base load capacity and therefore the mechanical reliability and efficiency of high-pressure membrane feed pumps deserve thorough consideration. Production losses due to mechanical failure or higher energy consumption due to lower hydraulic efficiency can be significant factors in the plant operating costs. Miguel Angel Rivas, product portfolio manager for Sulzer Pumps, discusses the options available.

Process pumps for flue gas desulphurisation

12 March 2009

KSB has developed KWPKC-Monobloc, a new pump series especially designed for use in secondary circuits of flue gas desulphurisation plants.

The pumps are suitable for transporting limestone slurry and circulating water, removing gypsum and thickening solutions.

The impellers are made of KSB's highly wear-resistant NORIDUR DAS, and the wetted components such as casing and discharge cover are lined with highly wear-resistant CeramikPolySiC. This high-strength composite material of ceramic and polymer has been specially developed for pumps in flue gas desulphurisation.
 
The KWPKC-Monobloc series covers flow rates up to 3 000 m3 and discharge heads up to 120 m. They incorporate a back pull-out design has been chosen for the radially split casing to make maintenance quick and easy. An adjustable clearance gap is provided on the suction side to keep the pump's efficiency high.
 
KSB plans to launch the KWPKC-Monobloc pump series at Achema, which takes place in Frankfurt , Germany between 11-15 May.
