MEGACPK. PROVEN PUMPING POWER OVER AN ENTIRE LIFE CYCLE.

During the rainy season, millions of inhabitants in the metropolis of Mexico City are repeatedly threatened by huge volumes of water. The El Caracol pumping station equipped with 20 extra large KSB submersible motor pumps is helping the 20 million inhabitants of the metropolis to fight stormwater and flooding.

KSB Guard performs a crucial task at the world’s largest development and test centre for valve technology, the ROLF SANDVOSS INNOVATION CENTER (RSIC) operated by SAMSON: It continuously monitors the pumps, which were also supplied by KSB. The pumps need to operate smoothly under extreme loads and with irregular operating hours. KSB Guard provides important data and operating information, ensuring that unscheduled downtimes are avoided and pump maintenance can be planned efficiently.

A cleaner Baltic Sea – this was the initial idea behind the waste water disposal project for this millions-strong metropolis. Today, 19 Amarex KRT pumps ensure that up to 98 percent of the city’s waste water is treated in a waste water treatment plant before being discharged into the Baltic Sea.
