Submersible Pumps for Sandy Water

TNB Power Generation has selected international technology group ANDRITZ to carry out a major uprating of the Chenderoh hydropower plant. The aim is to extend the plant’s operational lifespan and increase the capacity of three units by 5%.

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.

Sulzer Services recently performed critical repairs on a completely failed 100-year-old 5MW turbine in West Java. The turbine repair served to both restore the renewable energy supply to the local community and wider grid and reduce expected downtime for the customer by seven months.

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.

International technology group ANDRITZ has received an order from CH. Karnchang (Lao) Company Ltd. to supply the electro-mechanical equipment for the newly constructed Luang Prabang run-of-river hydropower plant, Lao People’s Democratic Republic.
