The aquaculture industry relies heavily on various types of pumps. Their primary functions include: 1. Aeration. Unlike natural environments, aquaculture systems often feature high stocking densities, meaning naturally dissolved oxygen levels are insufficient. Pumps are required to circulate the water and increase its oxygen content. 2. Filtration. The presence of fish and shrimp waste, as well as uneaten feed, leads to water eutrophication and the subsequent proliferation of pathogens. Pumps facilitate water circulation to filter out impurities while introducing fresh water into the culture tanks. Aquaculture pumps are characterized by high flow rates and low head requirements. Key performance criteria include: 1. High reliability. Pump failure can lead to massive stock losses and significant economic damage, making quality and dependability paramount. 2. High efficiency. Since pumps operate continuously, electricity costs are substantial; selecting high-efficiency models helps farms reduce operating expenses. 3. Corrosion resistance.

KSB Intelligent Pumping System Empowering climate-neutral heating in cities As the world accelerates toward carbon neutrality, the green transition of urban heating has become a top priority . The German city of Herne plans to achieve climate-neutral heating by 2045, with the recycling of industrial waste heat becoming one of its key strategies. Recently, in a landmark district heating project in Hårnæ, KSB successfully integrated the industrial waste heat from a large chemical plant into the urban heating network through its advanced pumping and intelligent control technologies. The project was successfully completed in 2025, fully demonstrating the pivotal role of KSB systems in driving the transition to sustainable heating solutions. Rising to the Challenge Supply-demand mismatch and pipeline network barriers Chemical plants generate substantial waste heat from water vapor condensation during production processes. Through heat exchangers, this waste heat originally supplied 4 megawatts of climate-neutral thermal energy to approximately 1,000 surrounding households. However, the system has long faced two major pain points. ❎ There is an extremely severe mismatch between supply and demand. Under optimal operating conditions, chemical plants can generate over 8 megawatts of waste heat, far exceeding the energy needs of surrounding residential areas, resulting in significant waste of clean energy. ❎ There is no reliable backup. When chemical plants cease operations for maintenance, heating companies are forced to activate expensive fossil fuel steam boilers to maintain heating supply. To address this issue, the heating company decided to connect the chemical plant's pipeline network to the central city's main pipeline network, which is located merely 500 meters away, thereby achieving energy interoperability: excess waste heat is fed back to the city center, while insufficient waste heat is supplemented by backup support from the city center. ▼ However, technical challenges emerged—the operating parameters of the two pipeline networks were vastly different, making direct grid integration impossible: 🏭️industrial plant pipeline network (direct supply to users) Operates at low temperature and low pressure, with a temperature below 90°C, a static pressure of approximately 3 bar, and a maximum water supply pressure of 4.5 bar. 🏙️ Jibin City Central Network (Heating provided by the heat exchange station) The system operates under high temperature and high pressure conditions, with a water supply temperature reaching up to 130°C and a static pressure of approximately 12 bar. The way to break the deadlock Smart isolation | Seamless scheduling To address the challenge of connecting pipeline networks with different technical principles in parallel, the solution involves establishing an intelligent heat exchange station equipped with two 8-megawatt plate heat exchangers, which achieves both "hydraulic isolation" and efficient heat transfer. The brain and heart of this complex system are precisely the pump and control system custom-designed by KSB for it. The demand for district heating fluctuates significantly with seasons, weather conditions, and even time of day, while industrial waste heat generation depends on factory production capacity. To achieve dynamic balance under highly challenging operating conditions, KSB offers an optimal combination of software and hardware: Powerful pumping, delivering surging energy On the pipeline network side of the chemical plant, KSB has installed four Etanorm 200-150-250 circulation pumps (equipped with gray cast iron pump housings and bronze impellers). These pumps are driven by 4-pole asynchronous motors rated at 45 kW each, delivering robust performance and stable operation. AI-controlled, precise frequency conversion The core of the entire system lies in the KSB customized pump control system. The pump motor operates in super-synchronous mode (up to 60 Hz) via the KSB PumpDrive R frequency converter. This control system not only precisely regulates the circulation pumps on the chemical plant side but also manages the return pumps supplying water to the municipal pipeline network, ensuring the entire system maintains optimal flow rates at all times. Outstanding Performance Comprehensive protection with dynamic response powered by the KSB intelligent system, this heating hub demonstrates exceptional operational intelligence: The pump control system designed by KSB Automatically adjust the operating status flexibly based on requirements Real-time voltage stabilization and safety protection The KSB system not only drives the water circulation but also maintains stable pipeline pressure in real time, effectively preventing hazardous conditions such as overpressure, overheating, negative pressure, or dry operation. Precise monitoring of the "most vulnerable point" The system specifically monitors critical points in the pipeline network (i.e., areas where pressure or temperature is most likely to be insufficient), ensuring comprehensive heating coverage with no blind spots. Flexible switching eliminates water hammer During the mode switching between "waste heat output" and "standby input," abrupt start-stop operations of the water pump can easily induce pressure surges in the pipeline network. To address this, KSB has incorporated a dynamic start-stop ramp function into the system programming. This ensures a smooth transition in pump rotational speed, effectively protecting valves and pipelines from load shock. Climate-neutral heating requires not only the development of new energy sources, but also the application of intelligent and reliable fluid technologies to fully harness existing energy potential and seamlessly integrate it into current systems.

Industrial sealing materials with varying hardness levels Sealing materials are a critical industrial material used to prevent the leakage of gases, liquids, or other substances, widely applied in various fields such as construction, automotive, aerospace, electronics, and chemical industries. The core function of seals is to create a barrier between two contact surfaces, preventing the leakage of media or the intrusion of external contaminants. They must withstand high-speed motion and friction, handle complex sealing media, and encompass a wide variety of seal materials. Common types of sealing materials Elastic sealing products are made of materials such as rubber and plastic, which use the elasticity of the material to fill the micro unevenness of the sealing surface, forming a tight fit and suitable for sealing needs of various irregular shapes. Rubber: Silicone rubber can maintain elasticity at high temperatures, making it the preferred choice for extreme temperature scenarios. Fluororubber has become the preferred choice for chemical equipment due to its chemical corrosion resistance. Nitrile rubber has excellent wear resistance and oil resistance, and is commonly used in fuel and hydraulic oil environments; EPDM rubber is weather resistant and resistant to polar solvents, commonly used in radiators and cooling water systems. Plastic: Polytetrafluoroethylene is corrosion-resistant and has an extremely low coefficient of friction, suitable for strong acid and alkali environments. It is often made into gaskets, retaining rings, or wrapping structures. Metal sealing products Hard sealing products are made of materials such as aluminum, alloy, stainless steel, etc. Due to their high density, high strength, and pressure resistance, they achieve a tight fit between hard materials under pressure, which is suitable for the strong sealing requirements of large equipment. Lead plates, due to their flexibility and high density, can effectively block radiation and gas permeation with aluminum sealing rings; Stainless steel is widely used for sealing high-pressure vessels due to its corrosion resistance and high strength. Composite seals But materials are just the foundation, and often we choose composite seals based on the customer's equipment type, working medium, and installation space. For example, in hydraulic cylinders used in metallurgy or engineering machinery, where high pressure and high temperature coexist, it is necessary to use a combination of multiple materials for sealing, such as composite seals made of rubber and metal. These seals have both the elasticity of rubber and the strength and corrosion resistance of metal, making them suitable for sealing requirements in complex working conditions. How long can various seals be used? Generally speaking, high-quality seals may have a service life of around 5 to 10 years under normal usage conditions. This is because high-quality rubber materials have good aging resistance, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. The service life of seals is a relative concept that varies depending on factors such as material properties, usage environment, working pressure, oil temperature, retaining ring size, fatigue condition, etc. The material determines the basic lifespan Firstly, it is the quality of the materials. High quality sealing materials can resist more wear and corrosion, thereby extending their service life. Ordinary rubber: Low cost, but poor aging resistance, may show signs of aging such as hardening and cracking after 3-5 years. It may only last for 2-3 years in harsh environments. High quality silica gel: using high-purity raw materials and anti-aging additives, it has high temperature resistance and UV resistance, and its service life can reach more than 8-10 years. Fluororubber: Under ideal conditions, its lifespan can reach 8 to 10 years; If exposed to high temperature, high pressure, or corrosive media for a long time, the lifespan may be shortened to 3 to 5 years. Ethylene propylene diene monomer: Under normal usage conditions, its lifespan can reach 10 to 15 years; But in the working conditions of frequent vibration and temperature difference changes in the car, it is usually recommended to inspect and replace it every 3 to 5 years. Nitrile rubber: Good oil resistance, commonly used in industrial seals, with a shelf life of about 6 years. In actual use, the replacement cycle needs to be adjusted according to the medium and temperature. Environmental accelerated aging If the sealing ring is in a harsh working environment, such as high temperature, high pressure, strong acid and alkali corrosive media environment, or frequent stretching, compression, friction and other working conditions, its service life will be significantly shortened. 1. In high temperature environments, seals will accelerate aging, which may lead to aging and failure of the sealing ring within 2-3 years; 2.In highly corrosive media, the material of the seal will be rapidly corroded, and its service life may only be 1 to 2 years. 3.Exposure to ultraviolet radiation, ozone, and extreme temperature and humidity may shorten the lifespan to 3-5 years. 4. Long term exposure to oils, acidic and alkaline solvents can accelerate the aging rate of seals, especially silicone that is not resistant to strong acids and oils, which may cause expansion and deformation. It needs to be replaced after 2-4 years of use. 5. Mechanical wear: Static seals experience less stress and have a longer lifespan. Dynamic seals: Frequent compression and friction may shorten their lifespan to 1-3 years. 6. UV damage and frequent alternation of heat and cold can accelerate material fatigue. 7. Improper installation of the sealing ring, misplaced installation leading to excessive local stretching, and tight installation causing deformation of the sealing ring, will accelerate the wear and aging of the sealing ring and shorten its service life.
In the wave of green mining construction, backfill mining technology has become a key path to achieve efficient resource utilization and ecological protection synergy. The Dagushan filling project of Ansteel Mining Group is facing harsh working conditions such as slurry solid content of over 50%, large particle size, strong abrasion, and long-distance transportation, which puts extremely high demands on the core equipment slurry pump. With years of experience in the research and development of slurry pumps and precise adaptability to working conditions, Kaiquan has successfully won the bid for this project, providing a total of 29 slurry pumps at once: 17 units of 350KXZ-84 type, 6 units of KJ350-96 type, and 6 units of KZJ350-85 type. This number also set a record for Kaiquan's largest order under mine filling conditions. Customized solution: Three models collaborate to solve transportation problems In response to the high concentration, large particle size, and long-distance transportation characteristics of the Dagushan filling project, the Kaiquan technical team has customized an integrated transportation solution with the 350 series slurry pump as the core. Each of the three models has its own focus: KJ350-96: with a super large flow design, the rated flow can reach 2500m ³/h, the head is 78m, and it is suitable for large displacement filling needs; 350KXZ-84 and KZJ350-85: precise head adaptation, matching different conveying sections' working conditions. All pumps adopt heavy-duty horizontal structure, with increased impeller diameter and low-speed design, and use CFD multiphase flow simulation technology to optimize the volute flow channel, achieving equal lifespan operation of the flow passage components. Double pump casing design: The outer layer ensures structural strength, while the inner layer is equipped with replaceable high chromium alloy, allowing for flexible adaptation to different filling material characteristics. Sealing and Material: Zero Leakage, Long Life In response to the pressure gradient generated by long-distance series transportation, Kaiquan adopts a differentiated sealing scheme: First stage pump: secondary impeller+packing seal combination, achieving zero leakage operation Second stage pump: packing+high-pressure shaft seal water design, ensuring reliable sealing of high-pressure slurry The material of the overcurrent component is customized ultra hard and wear-resistant KmTBCr27. After special heat treatment, the hardness reaches HRC60 or above, and the wear resistance is more than 10 times that of ordinary carbon steel. In actual operation, the average lifespan of the overcurrent components reaches 8-12 months, with some operating conditions exceeding 15 months, far exceeding the 3-6 months of ordinary slurry pumps. At the same time, the pump set is equipped with a variable frequency speed regulating motor, which can adjust the operating parameters in real time according to the fluctuation of filling flow rate and slurry concentration. The power loss is reduced by 15% -20% compared to traditional fixed speed pumps. Customer benefits: cost reduction, efficiency improvement, and continuous production Kaiquan provides Ansteel Mining not only with equipment, but also with "customized products+full cycle integrated services". From on-site research and data collection in the early stage, to installation and commissioning, operation and maintenance guidance, and emergency spare parts supply, the entire chain is covered. Up to now, the slurry pump has demonstrated excellent performance with low failure rate and high conveying efficiency, effectively avoiding production losses caused by unplanned shutdowns. Every year, it can save more than 30% of parts replacement and maintenance costs, achieving a dual improvement in economic and energy-saving benefits. The smooth operation of the Dagushan filling project confirms the reliability and technological leadership of the Kaiquan slurry pump under high concentration and strong abrasion conditions.
