Too often equipment and systems get our full attention only when a problem emerges or a complete breakdown happens. When things keep running, we can falsely believe they are running efficiently. But that is rarely the case. Did you know that many plants today are operating at levels 25% to 50% greater than the original design conditions?
When a system has outgrown its original pump, reliability and equipment availability begin to suffer. Depending upon the extent of change from the original design parameters, large amounts of energy can be consumed as the undersized pump tries to keep up with present-day demands that exceed its normal operating range.
This results in more frequent repairs, high energy cost, and inordinately high maintenance costs associated with the pumping equipment. Although your system may be running, it is not working as originally designed.
By performing on-site system analysis and using today's computer technology, we can very accurately measure pumping system performance to determine how efficiently your pumps are operating.
When Hydro performs System Optimization Services (SOS) for your existing equipment, the resulting energy savings are often sufficient to offset the cost of implementation. SOS becomes the basis for developing recommendations that:
• Increase System Efficiency
• Reduce Energy Consumption
• Increase System Reliability (MTBF)
