Future-Proof Diaphragm Valves for Drinking Water

The construction industry is accounting for a major part of the global CO2 emissions. The need for clean and safe drinking water to serve a growing population is accelerating. GF Building Flow Solutions’ mission is to solve these challenges: the increasing demand for energy-efficient and affordable buildings, inviting and safe homes as well as access to clean and safe drinking water.

At the end of February 2025, the KSB Group has launched the first size of its newly developed MultiTec Plus type series, size 150, on the market. These pumps have been specially developed for transporting drinking water, with optimum hydraulic efficiency being the focus.

As population grows and economies expand, they are putting an immense strain on the world’s water supplies. According to the UN World Water Development Report 2024, 2.2 billion people worldwide have no access to clean drinking water.

The pump and valve manufacturer KSB is continuing its positive business development in the first nine months of 2024. The company increased the key performance indicators of order intake, sales revenue and earnings before finance income / expense and income tax (EBIT) compared with the prior-year period.

In September 2024, the KSB Group will be launching a new generation of submersible motor pumps on the market. The pumps of the type series called AmaRex Pro are driven by high-efficiency motors of the IE5 class.

Delivering potable water to the residents, commerce and industrial infrastructure of Montréal is a massive task for the City’s Water Department. The Department operates six water treatment plants, the largest of which are Atwater and Charles-J.-Des Baillets.
