High-pressure pump to meet high demands

Located at Botany Bay in the south-eastern part of Australia, the Sydney seawater

desalination plant produces 250 MLD (mega liters per day) of pure drinking water

to ensure a reliable supply of water for the people in the metropolitan resident

area of Sydney.

As KSB is the only supplier to consistently pursue the design principle of radially

split reverse osmosis high-pressure pumps, HGM-RO pumps from KSB were

chosen due to their proven efficiency (87% efficiency in the 1st stage high pressure

pump), lower energy consumption and maintenance-friendly design – resulting in

low life-cycle costs. The technical and commercial decision-makers at Sydney Water

were convinced by these advantages over split casing pumps used in Australian

desalination plants until now.

High quality materials and services

All HGM-RO pumps from KSB are made of extremely

corrosive-resistant DUPLEX stainless steel – highly advanta-

geous when handling seawater. As a result, HGM-RO pumps

have an extraordinarily long lifecycle.

KSB is not only well-known as an excellent pump manufac-

turer but also offers a worldwide net of agencies and service

points. KSB serves Australia and Sydney Water via the Sydney

Service Center.
