Baldor Electric Company, a Member of the ABB Group will host a one-day pump systems optimization course on May 16, 2013 in Greenville, South Carolina, designed to help pump users learn how to identify and reduce hidden operating and energy costs in their pump systems, and ultimately increase profitability of their business.  Energy savings of 20 to 40% are possible. The informational brochure for the upcoming course can be found athttp://www.pumpsystemsmatter.org/PSOBaldor.

When pump systems are not optimized for best efficiency, they drain profits with higher energy and maintenance costs, shorten mean time between repairs, and increase CO² emissions. Optimized pump systems are more energy efficient and reliable overall.

This highly regarded one-day course, Pump Systems Optimization: Energy Efficiency and Bottom-Line Savings,has been taught to nearly 800 people resulting in significant dollars saved in not only energy costs but in reduced maintenance and down time as well.

Although Engineers make up a good percentage of those taking the course, Maintenance, Operations and Sales are also well represented.  In addition to end users taking the course, Engineering Consulting Firms also take the course to gain knowledge and credibility and to network with end users to increase their business.

Course registration is now available atwww.PumpSystemsMatter.org.

All participants will earn seven (7) professional development hour credits (PDH) from the Hydraulic Institute.

PSM is also offering the opportunity for interested pump companies, distributors, users, utilities, engineering consulting firms, ESCOs, energy efficiency NGOs and state energy offices to host the pump systems optimization course in their service territory, or present the course for their own group of employees and/or their clients/customers.  For more details visit:www.PumpSystemsMatter.org/Training.
