Introduction2
Quality that performs.
Drinking water is vitally precious. In
many parts of the world, the only way
to provide sufficient affordable supplies
is by extracting it from salt water.
For decades, KSB has led the way
in innovative and efficient seawater
desalination by reverse osmosis.
Our high-pressure ring-section pumps
meet the demands of non-stop operation
in plants of all sizes.
KSB provides solutions for the entire
desalination process – from seawater feed
right through treatment and on to piping
the extracted water.

Applications4
We’ve done it before, and we keep on innovating.
Innovative technology from KSB has generated decades of efficient
solutions in RO. And as you’d expect, we’re on call for customers
with comprehensive service and a broad range of products in
this area, too.
n All-in pressure boosting and energy recovery systems:
- High-pressure pump, pressure exchanger, booster pump
- High-pressure pump, motor, turbine
n Engineering package combines pump and intake
structure optimisation
n On-site service
n Test field, engineering and model testing to customer specs
at our headquarters in Frankenthal
n All pumps and valves required for the desalination
process, such as:
- Pumps for pre-treatment, post-treatment and purification
processes
- Pumps for water transport
- Valves for all shut-off and control duties
The hydraulic SalTec System increases pressure and recovers energy. It efficiently rounds off the KSB range of components for RO desalination. And significantly reduces the cost of water.
Components that match each other perfectly: n KSB’s SalTec DT pressure exchangern KSB’s HGM-RO/Multitec-RO high-pressure pumpsn KSB’s RPH-RO booster pump
Membranes are not included in the scope of supply.
Good value, effective, unique: SalTec – desalination that makes special sense.

Product6
The individual solution to the toughest demands: HGM-RO.
Our high-pressure HGM-RO pump is top of the range – and on
top of even the toughest conditions.
We developed the HGM-RO specifically for reverse osmosis.
This pump stands up to all the demands which that process
puts on it.
As seawater is such a difficult medium, we planned its construc-
tion with duplex steel. And we gave the HGM-RO a compact
design that perfectly masters huge osmotic pressures. Starting
the pump puts minimum demands on membrane and material.
Top HGM-RO quality enables round-the-clock production of
more than 30,000 m3/day per desalination train. Continuous
optimisation ensures the best possible efficiency and low energy
consumption. Very smooth operation, increased service lives and
easy maintenance are further hallmarks of this premium pump.
HGM-RO meets the highest demands – and is top choice for
seawater desalination.
Design:
Horizontal, radially split, medium-lubricated ring-section pump
with radial impellers and plain bearings, axial or, on option, radial
single-entry inlet, duplex steel design.

Duplex stainless steel (standard),
super duplex stainless steel (on request)
Fluid pumped:
Seawater, chilled water
Service-friendly designn Compact designn Low space requirement thanks to internal bearings
and axial inflown Ease of assembly and dismantlingn Straightforward installation: Ready-to-use pump set (plug & run)
without monitoring systems/pressure gauge
High operating reliability and long service lifen Designed to be used in large plants (up to 1,500 m3/h per pump)n High-quality components for ideal seawater treatmentn Optimum vibration characteristics ensured by close bearing spacingn Low NPSH value thanks to axial inflow with suction stage impeller
Cost-efficient designn Tailored to meet individual needsn Low life cycle costs: no need for auxiliary media or additional
supply linesn Ease of maintenance and low spare parts costsn Low energy costs because of excellent efficiency

The standard solution for compact plants: Multitec-RO.
Practice, they say, makes perfect. KSB has years of experience
in small- or medium-scale RO plants as well. And provides an
economic standardised solution for their special needs.
Multitec-RO is ideal for stationary or floating installations in
hotels, large ships or transportable containers. Optimum efficiency
keeps energy costs down. And with a wear-resistant plain
bearing and just one discharge-side shaft seal, easy servicing
is guaranteed as well.
Multitec-RO pumps are economical, reliable and corrosion-
resistant – the individual standard for demanding customers.
And they’re usually available immediately!

Quality Assurance14
Micrograph of the fertritic / ausfenitic microstructure of duplex stainless steel
First-class results demand first-class materials.
What really matters in high-pressure pumps? As designers, makers
and suppliers, we know it’s the quality of the materials. We have
over 30 years’ experience in this area, and invest more than
¤ 20 million annually in Research & Development. Which is why
we lead the way in innovative duplex design.
Duplex steels provide a well-balanced spectrum of resistance to
corrosion and appropriate mechanical and technological proper-
ties. That all adds up to much longer service lives for our pumps.
Benefits at a glance:n High strength combined with excellent toughnessn Excellent resistance to crevice and pitting corrosion
(PREN 36 on average)n Resistance to stress corrosion cracking and intergranular
corrosionn High resistance to cavitation and hydroabrasive wear (erosion)
