PSAT Qualified Specialists

Qualified Pumping System Assessment Tool (PSAT) Specialists have successfully completed classroom and practical training, passed a rigorous exam and demonstrated their ability to use the PSAT software tool. Specialists apply this tool to help their plant or industrial customers identify ways to improve pumping system efficiency. The U.S. DOE recognizes these industry professionals as Qualified Specialists, but does not specifically endorse any individual or company.

PSAT helps users assess energy savings opportunities in pumping systems relying on field measurements of flow rate, head and either motor power or current to perform the assessment. Using algorithms from Hydraulic Institute (HI) standards and motor performance characteristics from DOE's MotorMaster+ database, PSAT quickly estimates existing pump and motor efficiency and calculates the potential energy and cost savings of a system optimized to work at peak efficiency.

A number of individuals associated with Pump Systems Matter^TM(PSM) sponsor organizations have become PSAT Qualified Specialists.

If you are interested in a Plant or Pump Systems Assessment, contact any of the PSM sponsors that are PSAT Qualified Specialists.
