The pumps, which weigh more than 100 tonnes, and each have a power rating of 8 megawatts, will be manufactured at KSB’s main plant in Frankenthal.
Encompassing the supply of the large pumps as well as the associated tests for safe and reliable operation in the primary circuit of the nuclear power plant, it is the largest single order KSB has ever received. As the market leader for power plant pumps, the company is pursuing a clear growth strategy based on its technological expertise and extensive knowledge in the project business.
“The global demand for energy is growing, resulting in a sustained demand for new power plants,” says Dr. Stephan Timmermann, CEO of KSB. “This order underlines the project partner’s trust in our expertise and experience. We are delighted to be supplying these technically sophisticated large pumps from our Energy plant in Frankenthal over the course of the next few years.”
Main reactor coolant pumps ensure that coolant flows continuously through the reactor core in order to dissipate the heat generated and use it to produce electricity. The power plant project contributes to carbon-free energy generation and energy security in Europe.
As is customary in the industry, the contractual partners have agreed not to disclose the name of the client.
