Sixteen of the pumps are among the largest wastewater pumps that KSB is building at its plant in Halle, Germany.
Each of the KSB Amarex KRT K 700-900 submersible motor pumps weighs around 10 500 kg and has an output of approximately 2000 litres per second. The pumps will be driven by 10-pole high-voltage motors of 4160 V and a drive rating of 680 kW.
The first pump units will be ready for shipment to Mexico in May 2010.
