From experience, we recommend a station audit as the best way to evaluate the energy savings potential of a specific site. This is best achieved using our 5-step audit process, which has been designed to identify energy, cost and efficiency improvements in pumping stations of all sizes.
We would collect pump and motor specifications alongside any available SCADA data. This step provides a basic indication of annual energy consumption and an indication of the range of demand that the station is required to meet during a given period.
We would identify the stations that either consume the most energy or are business critical, and focus efforts to evaluate the performance gains in these priority sites.
We would use our FREEFLOW portable pump testing technology to test all the pumps in priority stations. The system curve is measured so that the overall dynamic characteristics of the pumps and station are understood and documented.
We would develop a report, which provides indicative potential energy savings that could be achieved. Our report will identify the areas that should be tackled. The most appropriate solutions are recommended in order to yield potential cost reductions.
Here we could recommend that permanently installed pump monitoring technology is fitted to your pumps. In such circumstances we will guarantee savings.
Our station audits are based on initial data gathered via pump testing
We would recommend pump monitoring to analyse systems over longer, fixed periods of time
Our audits ultimately aims to help you optimise networks to predict and meet demand
Our engineers would visit your site to carry out the in-situ pump tests, characterising the current condition of the pumping assets without disruption to operations. Our engineers are extremely experienced and will carry out each test to the same high standard.
Our audits are underpinned by our advanced analytical software (iGUS). As we extend our audit knowledge through projects around the world, we advance or algorithms, analytics, and increase our ability to extract value from site data and information.
We can provide ongoing consultancy aimed at continually optimising pumps, stations and networks. We will deliver a development roadmap, supporting the business and economic case for continued investment in assets, such as upgrades, replacements and repairs.
We will be pleased to make recommendations about a potential station audit. We can advise you more accurately if we have a few more details. Please call us on +44 (0)1872 260005 or request a site visit.
