With the cost of energy continuing to rise and manufacturers encouraged to make their operations more sustainable through monetary refund rebate programs, selecting efficient pumping technology is more important than ever.
Here are the shocking facts about energy consumption in pumps:
20% of the world’s electricity demand is estimated to come from industrial pumping systems (according to the Hydraulic Institute).
90% of the total cost of owning and operating a pump can be attributed to energy consumption (according to the Hydraulic Institute).
30% to 50% of the energy consumed by pumps can be saved by implementing control-system upgrades (according to estimations).
A traditional air distribution system (ADS) in an AODD pump contributes to inefficient energy consumption due to a design that creates a time delay when pressurized air is switched from one air chamber to the other. When air overfills the air chamber, the excess air vents into the atmosphere, offering no pumping benefits.
But Wilden® has a solution.
Consuming Less Energy and Improving Flow Rates
Wilden, a global leader in AODD pumping technology with a long-lasting legacy of providing unparalleled customer satisfaction, offers a new way of looking at energy consumption.
With the Wilden Pro-Flo® SHIFT ADS, operators can reduce the overall amount of compressed air needed to operate their AODD pumps and simultaneously optimize the air used.
However, the Pro-Flo SHIFT ADS helps operators do more than just optimize their energy consumption; the groundbreaking technology also satisfies the tenets of the sustainable-manufacturing movement.
Documenting Your Cost-Saving Sustainability
Have an existing Wilden installation using older ADS technology? Looking to upgrade to a Wilden pump?
Wilden has developed tools and usage calculators that prove that Wilden AODD pumps are more energy efficient and can be used in a sustainable-manufacturing system.
Documented reductions in air consumption demonstrate that methods of operation require less energy and thus satisfy the tenets of the sustainable-manufacturing movement, which makes manufacturers eligible to receive monetary refunds on their energy bills.
With lower energy consumption and simultaneous improvements in flow rates, Wilden Pro-Flo SHIFT Series AODD Pumps optimize operating costs and create a more environmentally friendly mode of operation – making them a first-choice pumping solution for many of the world’s most critical operations.
