Notably, their corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant materials enable applications in demanding environments such as sewage treatment, flood control, and even marine aquaculture systems. The launch of these two products once again proves to the market the commitment and confidence of Keshi's German quality.   From "selling pumps" to "selling code": a new milestone in digital transformation   This year, KSB Shanghai has delivered an exceptional performance with software sales reaching nearly 8 million yuan. This achievement reflects the company's solid progress in transitioning from a traditional manufacturing enterprise to a digital solutions provider. At the event, KSB once again drove its digital roadshow vehicle into the factory, presenting products, equipment, and digital achievements vividly to customers. Inside the vehicle, alongside the aroma of German beer, there were pulsating smart data – a vivid reflection of KSB's digital strategy.   KSB not only manufactures high-quality pumps, but also provides intelligent system solutions that enable equipment to "think" and data to create value. 31 years of deep cultivation: from production base to global innovation source   Looking back, KSB Shanghai has been rooted in Minhang Development Zone since 1994, and has been through 31 years. These 31 years have been a period of synchronized development between government and enterprises. Minhang District has provided a high-quality business environment, policy support and talent resources, and KSB has responded with technological innovation, continuous investment and international standards. Today, China has grown into the global "second center" and "global innovation source" of the KSB Group, achieving a magnificent transformation from "China manufacturing" to "China R&D" and from "importing standards" to "exporting standards". The technologies we develop here and the standards we establish are being exported to the global market in both directions. As Mr.Zhu Jiongyi said: "We look forward to further deepening cooperation with Minhang District government to help the sustainable development of the business and create another 30 years of brilliance!"   Culture is not translation, but co-creation   For three consecutive years, KSB has been honored with the title of "China's Outstanding Employer", a recognition that reflects its emphasis on "people". How can the rigorous tradition from Germany be deeply integrated with China's innovative culture? How can professional industrial technology become more accessible? The annual German beer festival gives the answer. When Germany's traditional beer culture meets China's warm hospitality, and when rigorous technical exchanges blend into a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere, customers and partners not only gain a deep understanding of the products but also experience Kaisi's corporate culture, brand values, and humanistic care. As Mr.Kannefass said, "We have been running this event for over a decade, and both customers and business partners love it. In this relaxed atmosphere, everyone can ask all their questions about our products, and business partnerships become even stronger. This is thanks to the friendship between China and Germany." Culture is not translation, but co-creation; technology is not an island, but a bridge. Kaisi has achieved both.   Build a green future with an open attitude   As one of the world's top three pump manufacturers with a history of over 150 years, KSB has always emphasized both technical depth and cultural warmth. With the deepening of green manufacturing and digital strategies, we are adopting a more open attitude to support the high-quality development of China's manufacturing industry. The product launch and German Beer Festival is not only a demonstration of the achievements of the past year, but also a solemn promise for the future: ●Continuously driving technological innovation to deliver smarter and more reliable products. ●Deepen digital transformation by upgrading from a pump and valve service provider to a digital solutions provider. ●Practice green concepts and contribute to sustainable development. ●Reinforce cultural exchanges to build an ecosystem where employees and the company grow together. We look forward to working together to create a better tomorrow and witness more moments of innovation and breakthrough in the future cooperation!

This not only marks the successful delivery of another crucial piece of equipment from KSB, but also signifies that a major environmental protection project safeguarding the Yangtze River is about to be equipped with a powerful "domestic heart"!   The fourth phase expansion project of the Chongqing Jiguanshi Wastewater Treatment Plant carries the dual mission of addressing the central environmental protection inspection rectification and the ecological problems of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, making it a highly anticipated key project in Chongqing.     Upon completion, the total treatment capacity of the Jiguanshi Wastewater Treatment Plant will reach 1.2 million m³/d (cubic meters/day), making it the largest wastewater treatment plant in western China and one of the top five in the country. This surging purification power will greatly enhance the wastewater treatment capacity of Chongqing's central urban area, providing solid support for building a vital ecological barrier in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.   A 12-Meter-High "Giant" Heart   Participating in such a significant project is an honor, but also a heavy responsibility: as the "heart" of the entire wastewater lifting system, the pump sets provided by KSB face unprecedented challenges.   ⏺︎ Giant Size: The SPN 1200 pump sets shipped this time exceed 12 meters in height from the bottom of the inlet bend to the top of the motor, resembling a steel giant.   ⏺︎ Enormous Energy Capacity: To achieve the project's massive leap in processing capacity from 800,000 tons to 1.2 million tons per day, KSB has revolutionized the inlet pump house. By converting six of the original seven main pump units to 12,000 m³/h SPN1200 pumps and adding three additional SPN series pumps with capacities of 8,750 m³/h, 5,370 m³/h, and 2,100 m³/h, KSB Shanghai's newly configured pump unit not only achieved a qualitative leap in total delivery capacity but also brought unprecedented operational flexibility and reliability.   ⏺︎ Challenging the "Giant": The enormous size and energy of the units placed extremely stringent demands on vibration, flow patterns, and energy efficiency. Every step of transportation, installation, and commissioning was an ultimate test of technology and experience.     Facing these challenges, the KSB technical team showcased its core strengths:   ⏺︎ Advanced Hydraulic Modeling: Leveraging KSB's technological DNA to ensure excellent design from the outset.   ⏺︎ CFD Flow Simulation: Digital twin analysis of the entire pump house to predict and optimize water flow patterns.   ⏺︎ CAE Vibration Analysis: "Diagnosing" each pump unit to ensure rock-solid stability under high-speed operation.   Furthermore, KSB provided over 100 key process equipment units for this project, including submersible sewage pumps, impellers, and agitators, ensuring smooth project operation with a comprehensive product portfolio.   Precise Contract Fulfillment, Living Up to Expectations   "High standards and strict requirements for project quality control, comprehensive coordination of construction progress across multiple stages"—this was the project's commitment and a test for all suppliers.   As a key equipment supplier for the project, KSB Shanghai deeply understood the weight of its responsibility. Facing the dual challenges of tight project deadlines and high technical requirements, the KSB team rose to the challenge, demonstrating outstanding professionalism and strong execution capabilities. All departments worked together seamlessly, with meticulous coordination at every stage from design and production to delivery, strictly controlling quality.   As expected, KSB ultimately delivered the first batch of 6 vertical volute sewage pumps and over 100 submersible agitator pumps in the first half of the year, strictly adhering to the project schedule requirements.   This precise fulfillment of contractual obligations effectively ensured the smooth progress of the entire project. On June 30th of this year, the project successfully achieved initial water supply operation. All installed KSB products operated stably and performed excellently, laying a solid foundation for the project's phased success.   Behind this success lies KSB's commitment to its customers, its dedication to social responsibility, and proof of the strength of "German technology, made in China."     With the successful delivery of the SPN 1200 pump, we will continue our efforts to fully complete the delivery of the subsequent retrofit pumps for this project.   Every shipment is a fulfillment of a promise; every departure is a journey towards the mission of protecting our green mountains and clear waters. KSB will continue to contribute to China's environmental protection cause with its superior technology, reliable products, and professional services, working together with all partners to build a green future.

On October 15th, Dr. Stephan Bross, Executive Director and Chief Technology Officer of KSB Group, attended the opening ceremony of the intelligent test bench at the Shanghai Chemical Engineering Pump Plant. In a media interview, he stated, "China has evolved from KSB's 'production base' to a 'global innovation hub.'"     China Speed, German Quality, Bright Future   At the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Dr. Bross summarized KSB's 31 years of development in China with three key words:   China Speed ​​- The CEP plant, with a total investment of 130 million yuan and a construction area of ​​10,000 square meters, began production in July last year and has an annual production capacity of 2,500 sets of high-end chemical pumps.   German Quality - The intelligent test bench has a maximum power of 4,000 kW and a maximum flow rate of 4,300 m³/h, increasing testing efficiency by 300%.   Bright Future - The Chinese market has become the Group's second-largest globally, and the North Asia region has achieved five consecutive years of growth in orders, sales, and profits.   From "Localization" to "Global Standards"   Dr. Bross emphasized the innovative value of KSB's China team:   “ In the past, people might have viewed Europe and the United States as centers of technology development, but the situation is completely different now. The intelligent diagnostic algorithms and digital twin technologies developed by the China team have evolved from "localized achievements" to "standard features" across the Group's global factories, and are even being exported to the European and American markets. ”   He further noted, "KSB's global standards have never been 'set by headquarters, implemented locally,' but rather 'where there are good innovations, we transform their experience into standards.'"   The newly commissioned intelligent test bench is KSB's largest closed-loop test bench in Shanghai and one of the Group's most advanced. Dr. Bross stated that this is more than just a hardware upgrade; it also carries the strategic mission of "intelligent testing, empowering the chemical industry," strengthening KSB's brand recognition as an industry technology leader.   KSB Global Operations Conference to be Held in Shanghai   The KSB Global Operations Conference will soon be held in Shanghai. Over 100 operations leaders from various countries will gather in Shanghai to learn from the Shanghai team's experience in digitalization and AI applications.   “ We aim to combine China's speed of innovation with German quality standards to serve global customers. ”     The chemical engineering pump factory of KSB Pump Co., Ltd. in Shanghai, completed and put into operation in July 2024, is a model chemical pump production facility featuring green, intelligent manufacturing, and digitalization. It further enhances KSB's chemical pump production capacity and quality in Shanghai. The factory covers an area of ​​10,000 square meters and has a total investment of approximately 130 million yuan, including approximately 65 million yuan in equipment. It covers the entire chemical pump production process, including warehousing, machining, assembly, performance testing, pipe welding and assembly, painting, and packaging. The company manufactures dozens of products, including API and ISO series chemical process pumps, heat transfer pumps, magnetic drive pumps, and polyethylene medium pumps for special applications. The standard production capacity is 2,500 units/year, with a maximum capacity expandable to 4,000 units/year.

The differences between self-priming pumps and centrifugal pumps are mainly reflected in the following aspects:   1. Working Principle:   Self-priming pumps: Before starting the pump, the pump casing is filled with water (or water itself is present in the pump casing). After starting, the impeller rotates at high speed, causing water in the impeller grooves to flow toward the volute. This creates a vacuum at the inlet, opening the water inlet check valve. Air in the suction pipe enters the pump and flows through the impeller grooves to the outer edge. Centrifugal pumps: These pumps operate by centrifugal motion of water caused by the rotation of the impeller. Before starting the pump, the pump casing and suction pipe must be filled with water. Then, the motor is started, causing the pump shaft to rotate the impeller and water at high speed. This centrifugal motion causes the water to be thrown toward the outer edge of the impeller and flow through the flow channel of the volute casing into the pump's pressure water line.   2. Applications:   Centrifugal pumps: Used in liquid transportation, cooling systems, industrial cleaning systems, aquaculture, fertilization systems, metering systems, and industrial equipment. They are also widely used in industries such as power, metallurgy, coal, and building materials to transport slurries containing solid particles. Self-priming pumps: They disperse water into fine droplets for spraying, making them ideal for farms, nurseries, orchards, and vegetable gardens. They are suitable for handling clean water, seawater, chemical media with acidic or alkaline content, and generally pasty slurries. They can be used with filter presses of any model and specification, making them an ideal companion pump for filtering slurries while feeding them.     3. Components:   Centrifugal pumps: Consists of six components: impeller, pump body, pump shaft, bearings, sealing rings, and stuffing box. Self-priming pumps: Consists of a suction chamber, liquid storage chamber, scroll chamber, liquid return port, and gas-liquid separation chamber.   4. Starting Method:   Centrifugal pumps: To start, both the inlet pipe and the pump body must be filled with water, or an auxiliary device must be used to evacuate the inlet pipe. Self-priming pumps: To start, a certain amount of starting circulating water must be injected into the pump body.   5. Different Devices:   Centrifugal Pumps: Must be equipped with a foot valve at the bottom of the inlet pipe or an air extraction device at the outlet. Self-Priming Pumps: Only a filter is installed at the bottom of the inlet pipe, without a foot valve.     6. Advantages:   Centrifugal Pumps: Compact structure, wide flow and head range, suitable for mildly corrosive liquids, uniform flow, smooth operation, low vibration, no need for special shock-absorbing foundations or equipment installation, and low maintenance costs. Self-Priming Pumps: Compact structure, easy operation, stable operation, easy maintenance, high efficiency, long service life, and strong self-priming capacity.   7. Characteristic Curve:   Centrifugal pump: The characteristic curve will not show the abnormal phenomenon of the self-priming pump mentioned above, and the efficiency is relatively high. Self-priming pumps: The characteristic curve is generally flatter than that of centrifugal pumps, meaning that the flow rate changes less for the same head change. With strong self-priming capacity, they can be started with no fluid in the suction pipe. However, when the flow rate is low, the characteristic curve of a self-priming pump will exhibit anomalies, meaning that the head increases as the flow rate decreases, resulting in generally lower efficiency.  

I recently visited the Dalian plant of Leo Pump, a well-known pump manufacturer. The Dalian plant is a key base for Leo Pump in the petrochemical and chemical industries.   Let me introduce the Dalian base   LEO Dalian, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the LEO Group, is located in Dalian and specializes in the research, development, and manufacturing of pump products for the petrochemical industry. The base covers an area of ​​100,000 square meters. The Dalian base specializes in the research, development, and production of pumps for upstream oil and gas applications such as oilfield water injection, pipeline transportation, and storage, as well as downstream applications such as crude oil refining, heavy chemicals, fine chemicals, and coal chemical processing. The base possesses proprietary technologies for liquid transportation under harsh and extreme conditions, including ultra-low temperature, high temperature, high pressure, low cavitation, high corrosion, and energy recovery. The base is a qualified supplier to CNPC, Sinopec, CNOOC, and China Shenhua.   What are the characteristics of Leo Pump's independently developed hydraulic turbine equipment?   As we all know, the hydrocracking unit's hydroprocessing feed pumps and hydraulic turbines are among the most advanced in the chemical pump industry, representing cutting-edge design, manufacturing, and application requirements for harsh operating conditions. These include high temperatures, high pressures, flammable and explosive media, and harsh and complex gas-liquid-solid three-phase flows. The successful application of this equipment in this field demonstrates mastery of the industry's core design, manufacturing, and application technologies. As early as 2015, we achieved localization of a 1.7 million tons/year residue oil hydroprocessing hydraulic turbine for Sinopec Changling Refining and Chemical. This equipment was fully independently developed and manufactured, and has passed on-site evaluation by industry equipment experts. To date, this equipment has been in stable operation for 11 years, exceeding all performance indicators of existing equipment and reaching the internationally advanced level of similar products.   Faced with such demanding operating conditions, how does Leo Dalian prioritize pump quality to ensure long-term, reliable operation? This brings us to the core process of the factory—quality management.   As a design and manufacturing company focused on the customized market, the base builds its core business processes around customer needs. Across design and development, material procurement, production execution, quality planning, financial oversight, and safety assurance, the base continuously identifies blind spots and bottlenecks at all levels of the process, deepens optimization concepts like IPD and LTC, and continuously iterates and restructures processes. This management model maximizes the ability to meet personalized market demands, avoid excess inventory, and improve capital turnover, enabling the base to respond quickly in a rapidly changing market environment and enhance market competitiveness. Before raw materials enter storage, advanced equipment such as handheld spectrometers, portable hardness testers, and roughness testers conduct a comprehensive inspection of key indicators such as chemical composition, hardness, and roughness. Only raw materials that perfectly meet standards are assigned traceability identification, including WBS numbers, batch numbers, and material codes, before entering the production process. During the component assembly phase, each pump receives its own unique assembly quality tracking sheet, permanently recording the operators, assembly parameters, and inspection results for each process within the entire assembly process. During testing, the pump's flow rate, head, efficiency, NPSH, and other operating parameters are all subjected to performance testing under comprehensive digital instrumentation. Even the slightest deviation in any indicator will result in corrections and retesting until the product fully meets customer operating requirements. In 2024, the CNAS Testing Center at the LEO Dalian base successfully passed the review of the China National Accreditation Service for Conformity Assessment and received CNAS National Accredited Laboratory certification. The center has a maximum test flow rate of 12,000 m³/h and a test head of 3,500 m.   It is precisely through such rigorous, standardized, and orderly quality process management that the Dalian factory is able to continuously provide the market with high-quality domestically produced equipment, ensuring the reliable operation of industrial processes. At the same time, product delivery times are also of concern.   "LEO Dalian ensures product delivery cycles through three key approaches: First, standardized management: a division of labor and collaboration between project managers and product managers, and the division of products into standardized and customized categories. Projects are clearly defined with milestones and component precision is strictly controlled, ensuring a 99.5% first-pass pass rate." Second, digital empowerment: the SAP system is used to automatically convert production orders, monitor materials in real time, and track progress. A digital procurement platform is established to enable online supplier management, automated matching, and delivery tracking. Using an intelligent selection system, operating conditions are automatically input to generate performance curves and quotations, reducing quote response times from three days to two hours. Third, supply chain optimization: supplier grading and monthly KPI assessments are implemented to eliminate those that fail to meet standards, resulting in an increase in the arrival rate of key raw materials from 85% to 95%. A quality-focused approach is adopted: procurement requests material reports and critical parts undergo re-inspection upon arrival. During production, parts precision is strictly controlled to ensure a 99.5% first-pass pass rate.   The Leo Dalian Technical Center is a petrochemical research branch affiliated with the Leo Group's national-level technical center. What achievements has it achieved so far?   The Leo Dalian Technical Center possesses Leo's independently developed core technology for energy recovery in gas-liquid two-phase flow conditions, which is leading both domestically and internationally. This technology has been used in a 1.1 million tons/year low-temperature methanol washing plant at Inner Mongolia Huineng, achieving energy savings of over 1,300 kWh per unit. Through the promotion of this core technology, the energy-saving equipment independently developed and manufactured in this field saves over 500 million kWh per hour, equivalent to reducing annual coal consumption by 140,000 tons and CO2 emissions by 220,000 tons. In the coal chemical industry, Leo's independently developed and innovative low-temperature methanol washing integrated turbine technology, with an installed capacity exceeding 40,000 kW/h, is an industry leader. The relevant technical specifications drafted by Leo also fill gaps in the industry. In addition, as the basic theoretical research institution of the Leo Group, it not only provides comprehensive technical support for petrochemical pump products for Leo Pump Industry, but also provides technical support in hydraulics, strength, vibration analysis and other aspects to each member unit within the group.
