Energy efficient water supply solutions
Lecture
The reliable and energy efficient supply of water to population and industry is a current problem all over the world. Solving of this problem is a priority for societies because of limited energy and water resources.
Water supply systems have a significant economical and environmental impact due to their tremendous energy consumption. It is estimated that water supply and distribution systems consume around 5% of total electricity worldwide whereas the majority of this consumption comes from running of pumping systems.
Recently, new technologies in pump business have appeared that can greatly contribute to improving the pressurizing and controlling of the water supply systems.
The energy efficient pump operation is crucial where optimal pumping can be reduced up to 25% of the energy consumption and of course the resulting amount of carbon dioxide emissions.
For an efficient and sustainable operation of water supply systems, it is necessary to use high energy efficiency pumps since most water supply systems operate for long continuous periods.
