This powerpoint presentation begins by providing a brief overview of typical energy use in water utilities. The efficiency of water pumps is presented, along with best efficiency point and parallel pumps' efficiency. Examples of increasing energy efficiency at water utilities are provided. Topics covered include: variable speed drives; and, AQUADAPT - Key Software Modules. Presentation conclusions indicate the following: pump wear can have serious
implications for performance and efficiency;
90% of all purchased power by water and
wastewater utilities is used by pumps;
with 3% of all U.S. generation power going to water
and wastewater utilities, getting pumps operating
well should be a key goal; and,
payback for these types of projects is exceptionally
good, 3 months to 2 years typically. Includes figures.
