With his creativity and his instinct for attention-grabbing campaigns, as well as his openness to new communication channels and technologies, he has contributed significantly to the development and success of the brand and the company. Kämpf symbolically passed the well-known U3K pump on as a baton to his successor Gunnar Wippersteg.

Sinsheim spa and pool complex is a big hit with bathers of all ages: relax in one of the 13 themed saunas, guaranteed fun for the whole family in a palm tree paradise with a huge panoramic roof and plenty of action in the 25 m sports pool with its 3 m diving board.

Wastewater from ethylene production in chemical and petrochemical industries as well as in petroleum refineries poses a particular challenge in terms of water treatment. As it contains hazardous pollutants such as sulfides and mercaptans, that do not respond to traditional treatment methods, chemical companies and refineries resort to Wet Air Oxidation (WAO).

Water shortages are already the cause of numerous conflicts around the world. As a result, it is not only the economical use of this vital resource that is coming more into focus. Companies are working flat out on new technologies that improve water purification. In this way, even industrial water can be turned back into safe and clean drinking water.

Pentair plc is pleased to announce the 2024 recipients of the Pentair Foundation’s Water Grants Program. The Pentair Foundation is awarding $1.15 million in grant funding to nine water-focused programs in support its mission to support and advance inclusive and sustainable communities.
