Are you properly tracking infeeds, flows, pressure and viscosity, process efficiency and changes to the pumping subsystem over time? Early detection and proper intervention can protect your motors and pumps, improve efficiency, and extend their longevity even in the most dangerous and harmful conditions.
Pumps play an increasingly important role in today’s manufacturing. The global market for pumps is over $60B and is expected to continue growing at a rate of 6% into the future. This investment is surpassed by the budget for running and maintaining these pumps over time. Pumps used for industrial applications represent one of the world’s largest electrical power consumers. According to the Hydraulic Institute, pumping systems account for nearly 20% of the world’s electrical energy demand and from 20% to 25% of the energy usage in certain industrial plant operations.
Well-managed and maintained pumps can enjoy a long productive life, playing an important role in an efficient manufacturing process. But events can happen! Proactive monitoring and maintenance are important to avoid costly downtime, cleanup, repairs, and replacement.
