KWPKC-Monobloc (photo) is a new pump series designed for use in secondary circuits of fluegas desulfurization (FDS) plants. The main application of these pumps is to transport limestone slurry and circulating water, to remove gypsum and to thicken solutions. The pump series covers flowrates up to 3,000 m3/h and discharge heads up to 120 m. The pumps feature a pull-out design 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 this firm’s wear-resistant Noridur Das, and the wetted components (such as casing and discharge cover) are lined with wear-resistant CeramikPolySiC — a specially developed composite material of ceramic and polymer that is proven to be abrasion and corrosion resistant. — KSB AG, Frankenthal, Germany
