Optimizing Industrial Water Distribution for Energy Efficiency
The 3 kEys
- Start with an audit of the water distribution system. You can’t know where you need to go with the system until you know precisely where you are.
- Excessive pump operation, throttling, and uncalibrated controls can waste a significant amount of energy.
- Optimized cooling water pump operations by adjusting flow rates based on real-time process demand rather than running pumps at a constant speed, by implementing a VFD-controlled pump logic.
Water distribution in an industrial facility is often an underappreciated area when considering energy efficiency. Pumps, piping networks, treatment systems, and auxiliary equipment all contribute to water movement, yet inefficiencies within these systems can silently drive up energy costs and reduce equipment longevity.
For Facilities Managers aiming to quickly reduce energy consumption without capital-intensive investments, strategic oper...
