Optimizing Industrial Water Distribution: Strategies for Energy Efficiency
The 3 kEys
- Pumps account for a significant portion of an industrial facility’s energy use, and when improperly sized or operating under suboptimal conditions, they can drive up costs and reduce system longevity.
- Implementing variable frequency drives (VFDs) allows pumps to adjust their speed based on real-time demand, significantly reducing energy consumption during periods of low flow.
- High friction losses due to aging pipes, excessive bends, or incorrect pipe diameters require additional energy input to maintain adequate pressure.
Water distribution in industrial facilities is a critical yet often overlooked component of operational efficiency. Facilities Managers who oversee these systems are responsible for ensuring that water moves reliably and cost-effectively through various processes, including cooling, heating, sanitation, and production. However, inefficiencies in indust...
