Altivar 600 improves the pumping driveline. Most VSDs combine with other electromechanical or mechanical devices to form a driveline. However, in pumping systems, inefficiencies can reduce performance of the driveline. For example, a mismatch between the pump deployed and the actual system need. Similarly, the improper use of throttling valves and damper […]
ABB has introduced a series of lunchtime CPD training in water systems courses. The certified System Efficiency training courses focus on improving the electrical efficiency of pump systems and save up to 20 percent in energy costs. The Lunch ‘n’ Learn CPD training sessions are part of ABB’s 20+20 vision for improving customer outcomes […]
Inverter drives in the water industry. As with most industries, water companies are following legislation that encourages operations to be more efficient. An example of this is sewage waste being used to generate energy. When implemented locally. it reduces the energy input of the process. Unsurprisingly, inverters or variable speed drives are […]
Booster control is used to maintain a constant pressure at the outlet by automatically varying the speed of the pumps. Altivar Process ATV600 drives allow the pumps to have an optimised consumption of power whilst time providing optimal monitoring features. Booster Control is used in several pumping processes. A typical application is water and […]
The modernisation of hardware and software in a large scale water supply system has improved the overall operational effectiveness of the entire operation and delivered a 51% reduction in power consumption. It has also enabled the supplier to reduce outlet pressure, leading to an 8% fall in emergency call-outs. In 2015, Samara Municipal Systems […]
