Upgrading pumping systems to improve pump efficiency and adding variable speed drives could save farmers $1.8 billion annually energy costs. What’s more, these upgrades would typically pay for themselves in under two years.
The Pump Savings Calculator, version 1.0.2, was recently released, which is inclusive of the most up to date energy costs released by the Energy Information Agency.
The U.S. Department of Energy Office of Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chains (MESC) is providing rebates for pumps, fans, and compressors that meet minimum energy requirements. The rebate program aims to help reduce the cost of making energy efficient upgrades, and the types of businesses that are most likely to benefit are ones with large motor driven pump loads that are operating without variable speed controls.
Overview: This case study will show the benefits of a remote monitoring
solution in a municipal sewage lift station application. The station monitored was a Duplex Lift Station with ongoing failures.
The role that wastewater treatment plants plays in meeting our demands for clean water is vital, therefore, it’s important for the professionals in the wastewater industry to have the knowledge and resources to support the efficient and reliable operation of the treatment plants.
From providing prescriptive test procedures to establishing suitable time periods for calibration of test instruments, HI 40.6 provides pump industry professionals with a common understanding among all stakeholders of how to perform efficiency tests and how pump efficiency is determined.
PSM has supported the IAC students and faculty with training to help them identify pumping system savings opportunities while conducting their audits and developed a checklist to use as a prescreening tool during assessments.
For everyone involved in pumping systems, HI’s Engineering Data Library is the place to go to brush up on what you might already know, learn something new, and find tools that make your job easier—and it is as close as the computer monitor on your desk.
