Shanghai Bailonggang Sewage Treatment Plant is the largest sewage treatment plant in Asia and one of the largest sewage treatment plants in the world. The plant can treat sewage generated by approximately 3.6 million people.
Project: Wastewater purification in Shanghai
In Bailonggang, directly adjacent to the multi-million-person metropolis of Shanghai in eastern China, a wastewater treatment plant is to be built that will be one of the largest in the world. One third of the wastewater in the nearby watershed of more than 270 square kilometers is to be purified here – more than two million cubic meters per day.
Challenge: One of the largest wastewater treatment plants in Asia
The special feature of this task is its huge size and the high demands placed on wastewater technology. The construction of the wastewater treatment plant requires the use of hundreds of wastewater pumps, and the company operating the wastewater treatment plant decided to purchase these pumps from KSB because they fully met the required performance parameters. In particular, the KSB pumps have a higher hydraulic efficiency than many competitor products, which today significantly improves the energy efficiency of the entire wastewater treatment plant.
Solution: more than 300 submersible pumps with all components
KSB supplied a total of 241 axial sewage submersible pumps of the Amacan type, 65 submersible pumps of the Amarex KRT and Amarex N series, six dry-installed sewage pumps of the SPN type and six dry-installed axial flow pumps of the ZL type. The pumps were delivered pre-assembled with all the associated components and in some cases also equipped with the required switch cabinets.
The Bailonggang sewage treatment plant in Shanghai is now the largest sewage treatment plant in Asia and one of the largest in the world. One third of the sewage from this city of ten million people is purified here. More than two million cubic meters of sewage flows through the treatment plant every day.
