We serve the full range of power generation process applications. Select your sector to see the relevant solutions.

Turn sulphur dioxide into a solved problem.

Wet flue gas desulfurization scrubbers require reliable separation and pumping equipment across its distinct process stages. With decades of FGD experience, KREBS® is an established leader in supply for coal-fired power generation operations.

Wash water recycling and food-grade separation

Fruit, vegetable and food processing wash circuits carry sand and grit that contaminates product and damages equipment. Our KREBS® urethane gMAX® cyclones remove solids down to 10 microns, allowing wash water to be recycled and reducing wastewater disposal costs.

Available in food-grade and non-food-grade urethane, 316L stainless steel and AL6XN to meet FDA and food-grade requirements. With no moving parts, they deliver reliable performance in demanding hygienic environments where maintenance access is restricted.

Description

1
Intake water and circuit protection
For hydro applications, KREBS® DeSanders remove sediment and grit from intake water and penstock flow, protecting turbine runners. For nuclear applications, KREBS® CP Vessels provide fine particle removal from large-volume cooling water intakes. Our millMAX™ and vMAX™ pumps handle intake and transfer duties where pumping is required.
2
Limestone grinding classification (Coal-Fired / FGD)
Our KREBS® gMAX® cyclones deliver finer, sharper classification at higher capacities and lower inlet pressure than conventional designs. The D-Series cyclone covers coarser classification duties within the same circuit. The millMAX™ feeds the circuit with consistent pressure and flow throughout the wear life of the pump.
3
Gypsum dewatering and waste disposal (Coal-Fired / FGD)
The gMAX® cyclones perform dewatering efficiently, with interchangeable parts between the reagent preparation and gypsum dewatering circuits reducing spare parts inventory. In the waste disposal circuit, our slurryMAX™ pump handles underflow transfer, and the millMAX™ feeds the dewatering cyclone circuit throughout.
4
Abrasive slurry and large-solids transfer
Our gravelMAX™ large-solids pump features a wider impeller and larger cutwater clearance that prevents solids being ground inside the pump, delivering fewer wear part changes, higher throughput and lower power consumption. The millMAX™ covers dilute cyclone feed and medium duty transfer duties. The slurryMAX™ handles split-case duties across the FGD waste disposal and secondary circuit. The vMAX™ covers vertical sump pumping in hydro, geothermal and nuclear plant sumps and pits.
5
Fine particle and scale separation
Our gMAX® hydrocyclones operate at higher capacities and lower inlet pressure than conventional designs. D-Series cyclones cover coarser classification and separation duties across the same circuits. For the finest removal requirements, KREBS® CP Vessels achieve separations down to approximately 10 microns.
6
Flow control and isolation
The KREBS® KGA and KGD slurry knife gate valves are built for harsh service in coal-fired FGD, geothermal and nuclear auxiliary applications, with fluorocarbon-coated stainless steel gates, replaceable wear sleeves and actuator options from manual handwheel to fully automated pneumatic and electric operation.
