Lunch & Learn with Vince: Load Controls can Protect and Optimize your Pumps

Join us for an ongoing series where Vince, Empowering Pump’s Director of Business Development, brings on guests to teach him technical skills useful for those working in the pump and related equipment industry.

In this episode, Vince talks with Mike McClurg, President of Load Controls.

Load Controls share the details on a real-world pumping environment at their headquarters to test the impact of pump motor power sensors on efficiency and energy management as well as predictive maintenance.

We’ll talk about some of the findings, as well as future AI research into using power data to predict motor and pump failures. We’ll also discuss the sensor installation through the Amherst (MA) WateWater Treatment facility, and some unique insights that has generated connecting motor power and water quality.

Mike McClurg is President of Load Controls, the US’ leading provider of motor power sensors and controls. Previously he held senior management roles at Actifio (Acquired by Google), IBM and EMC/DELL. He is an avid skier, trail runner and bad golfer.
