Franklin Electric Reduces Workforce of Submersible Turbine Pump Operations

Egger was consulted by several engineering companies for pumps as turbine (PaT) designed for high flows and low heads, which corresponds to the field of Kaplan turbines. Following a CFD simulation study using scFlow software developed by Cradle/Hexagon, they were able to respond effectively with the RPG/ RPP program for elbow propeller pumps.

Using canned motor technology for submersible pumps provides significant advantages. A short shaft, only two slide bearings – independent from the immersion depth – and various monitoring functions not only ensure high reliability but also mean cost advantages for the operator. Since it is supplied as a lock pump, easy servicing is guaranteed at the same time.

Half-time at the Metro Grand Paris project. The manufacturer Tsurumi has been supplying dewatering pumps right from the start. Now heavy-duty KTZ pumps are being added.

At the beginning of 2023, the KSB Group is going to launch a new submersible borehole pump series onto the market. Named UPA S 250, this pump series will extend the manufacturer’s range of well pumps. It is designed for use in general water supply, agriculture, mine dewatering and ground water management as well as for general pressure boosting tasks, for example.

When it comes to dewatering, Tsurumi is the go to brand. In Hall 6, the pump manufacturer presented the new KRDX explosion proof dewatering pump and the new LSC2.75S residue pump. The company also demonstrated how to get all construction gear on site onto the network: namely, amazingly simply with the Tsurumi Connect-Box.

At the end of 2021, the KSB Group was awarded a contract for the delivery of 14 large submersible motor pumps for flood control in Paraguay. The pumps are intended for equipping several pumping stations belonging to the “Costanera de Pilar y control de inundaciones” project.
