Electric Powered Pumps have been around for over 100 years. 21 st Century technology can make water stations run more reliably and efficiently than ever before. Electrically powered pumps are one of the largest consumers of electrical energy in industry today and for the water industry there’s no contest. Pumping uses the most energy. Energy costs are by far the largest component of Total Cost of Ownership for pumps and pumping stations. Pumps play a critical role in the supply of clean water and the removal of wastewater across the water network. They generate the pressure which moves water from the source, through water treatment plants, on to the consumer, after which they move wastewater to treatment plants and eventually back into the water cycle. It’s very important that these key assets are ready to run when needed, are effectively maintained and run reliably, efficiently and optimally. Understanding how the type of pumps most commonly used in indust...
