Water is precious Water

«WATER! You have neither taste, norflavour, undefinable, you are tasted without being known. You are not a necessity in life: you are life itself.» Antoine de Saint-Exupéry Water... is the source and basis of all life in our woods, in agriculture, and for the millions of city dwellers throughout the world. 2 3

A stream of thoughts...... 18 % of the world s agricultural surface is irrigated and produces 40 % of the planet s food fresh water makes up only 2.5 % of the world s water resources... and only 0.28 % is available for human consumption 40 % of the planet s population have to live with inadequate water supplies 50 of KSB s largest tubular casing pumps could make the Rhine flow backwards Life Benefit from our skills Water is the elixir of life.

Extraction Pole position for water treatment: Europe s largest infiltration water e xtraction station The locals lovingly call her Big Catherine the largest of the round stations that pump up groundwater from beneath the River Vistula in Warsaw, Poland. Stage one of its journey to the waterworks is the task of KSB s AMACAN series. Their 37 m head at up to 1100 l/s supplies the Polish capital s entire Eastern Waterworks and 30 % of its Central Utilities drinking water. Every reliable hour of every hard-working day. KSB s intelligent control system Hyamaster SPS optimizes pump operation, minimizes component wear and keeps energy costs down. With flow rates of up to 100 l/s and heads up to 37 m, KSB s AMACAN series supplies Warsaw s entire Eastern Waterworks and 30 % of its Central Utilities drinking water. Need intelligent diagnosis? Meet PumpExpert PumpExpert is a modular system that keeps you permanently in the picture on pump performance. With traffic lights and direct display, plus easy-to-follow instructions and clear recommendations. And if you want a long-term review of operational data, they are all available in the internal log. A built-in infrared connection lets you exchange data easily with your PDA. And a fieldbus connection to the control station can be installed at any time.

cost-saving Treatment Good neighbours for over a century: KSB and the Frankenthal waterworks, Germany KSB s headquarters are in Frankenthal, in the Palatinate region of Germany. After geohydrological and chemical investigations of the groundwater, the town opened its first waterworks and a water tower in June 1900. The first well was just 15 meters deep. Over a century on, the modern Frankenthal utilities supply the surrounding area with drinking water from 240 meters down. But the pump and valve partner has stayed the same: KSB continues to prove itself the best of neighbours. The tried, tested and optimized hydraulics of standard Etanorm and Eta-R water pumps line up with ISORIA valves. Together, these highly efficient products ensure continuous, energysaving operations plus the right water-pressure for every user. And our service specialists are on hand round the clock to ensure their home town always has what it needs to drink. The optimized hydraulic systems of our standardized water pump types Etanorm and Eta-R together with valves from our ISORIA range provide the high efficiencies required for continuous operation. Sealing is believing AMRING systems Absolute liner tightness is a prerequisite for the high reliability of our AMRI butterfly valves. In our own laboratories, we develop special rubber formulations to suit the most varied requirements. That s the KSB seal of quality with an ISO 9001 certificate to match. By producing our own rubber and liners, we ensure the high quality of our valves right from the start. Low abrasion loss Optimized valve operating torque Specific formulation to suit widely-varying fluids 10 11

These vital miles of pipeline. KSB helps make operational lives were all good supplies need to flow 360 kilometers through the Kalahari desert possible with numerous RDLO, daunting task. And our first-class this long and difficult journey arguments for giving KSB this and down to the country s dry Omega and Eta volute casing service on the spot was yet another. south. This mammoth effort begins pumps, Amarex series submersible with extraction from the dammed motor pumps and the aptly-named reservoir. The water then passes MAMMOUTH butterfly valves. Getting water to Gaborone is a capital challenge but Botswana trusts KSB pumps and valves like RDLO, Omega, Eta and MAMMOUTH to make it possible.

Irrigation Pumping the rain to the cane: New life in South African fields Got 300 hectares of fallow but fertile land to spare? KSB can help make life considerably sweeter. The South African government backed a project near Mkuze that provides a livelihood for 70 families. They now harvest an impressive 30 35,000 tonnes of sugar cane from previously fallow fields. The secret? 28 of KSB s Eta pumps, ranging from DN 150 to DN 300. They pump water from the distant Pongolapoort Dam into an extensive piping and spray irrigation system. 60 new jobs are the result. And KSB s modular design system from DN 25 to DN 400 keeps maintenance and spare parts storage to a minimum. Water difference: 28 Eta volute casing pumps from DN 150 to DN 300 help farmers grow sugar cane on 300 previously unused hectares. Convincing technology for stateof-the-art plant engineering Our modular product range allows optimal customizing to the exact requirements of your plant. A fullload test of the pumps in the manufacturing plants guarantees top operating reliability. The precise, computer-aided customizing of all products to the corresponding system conditions cuts energy costs and allows lowwear operation. 14 15
