Wastewater Treatment

KSB is a trusted partner for wastewater treatment – worldwide

KSB sets standards for wastewater treatment around the globe. The wastewater treatment plant in Shanghai, one of the biggest in Asia, is just one example of where KSB’s products have proven their worth.

The challenges faced in wastewater treatment are growing

Engineering contractors dealing with wastewater treatment across the globe are all facing the same challenge: sewage, wastewater and surface water increasingly contain solids such as wet wipes and stringy material liable to clog pumps. Particularly in times of decreasing budgets and increasing process complexity, wastewater treatment plants must be operated as efficiently and smoothly as possible with maintenance requirements being kept to a minimum.

KSB ensures that wastewater treatment is reliable and efficient

As an expert in wastewater treatment, KSB offers bespoke all-in solutions for pumps, valves and service which help you to operate your system more efficiently and reliably. Optimized processes improve your system’s performance while reducing maintenance costs.

KSB’s energy-efficient, low-maintenance pumps are employed in wastewater treatment plants at all cleaning stages, e.g. for preliminary screening in intake pumping stations, handling primary and floating sludge, and recirculating activated sludge in biological wastewater treatment.

Wastewater pumps from KSB: non-clogging and absolutely reliable

Designed with non-clogging impellers and large free passages, wastewater pumps from the KSB Amarex KRT and Sewatec type series ensure efficient operation even when handling fluids with a high solids content. Energy-saving drives, wear-resistant materials and smart automation products optimize your processes, improve the performance of your system and reduce maintenance requirements. Absolutely water-tight cable entries and mechanical seals with covered springs for use in particularly abrasive wastewater are just some of the special design details contributing to even higher levels of reliability.

Mixers produced by KSB aid the degradation of pollutants by circulating wastewater. Featuring an optimized hydraulic system and break-proof propeller as well as offering especially long maintenance intervals, the KSB Amaprop mixer sets standards in this segment. The portfolio is complemented by reliable valves such as the HERA-BDS knife gate valves which can be used to shut off pipes, during maintenance work.

All wastewater pump performance data is verified at our factory’s test facilities.

Thanks to decades of experience on the market, KSB offers comprehensive application knowledge – even for large-scale projects. You can benefit from application and service specialists on hand to provide support throughout the entire life cycle of your system.
