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.

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.

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.

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.
