New Process Pumps for Flue Gas Desulphurisation

The new KWPKC-Monobloc pump series (KSB Aktiengesellschaft, Frankenthal)

The pump’s main applications are to transport limestone slurry and circulating water, to remove gypsum and to thicken solutions. The pump series covers flow rates up to 3.000 cubic metres and discharge heads up to 120 metres.

The sturdy design is synonymous with operating reliability and robustness. A back pull-out design has been chosen for the radially split casing to make maintenance quick and easy. An adjustable clearance gap is provided on the suction side to keep the pump’s efficiency high.

The impellers are made of KSB’s highly wear-resistant NORIDUR® DAS. With long service lives in mind, the wetted components such as casing and discharge cover are lined with highly wear-resistant CeramikPolySiC. This high-strength composite material of ceramic and polymer has been specially developed for pumps in flue gas desulphurisation. It has proven to be extremely resistant against both abrasion and corrosion.

The large selection chart contains a matching and therefore economically priced pump size for every system. And mechanical seal variants are on offer for every application.
