SPP Pumps Energy – Energy Saving Services
Pumps are the single largest user of motive power in both industrial and commercial applications in the UK, accounting for over 30% of total power consumption within these sectors.
Pumps account for approximately 13% of the UK’s total annual electrical consumption. (BPMA Data), and energy consumption during operation has been identified as the most significant impact of pumps on the environment. In recent years, energy costs have become volatile with Oil, Gas and Coal prices at record levels. With this in mind, SPP Pumps has identified the need to operate pump systems more efficiently, and can realistically offer reductions in energy consumption and system running costs in excess of 20%.
Saving Costs, Saving Energy, Protecting the Environment
It is estimated that over 11 million electric motors with a total capacity of 90 GW are installed in UK industry – which represents about 40% of the UK’s total electricity consumption. With pumps contributing nearly a third of this consumption, there is considerable scope to reduce carbon emissions by improving pump system efficiency.
Minimise the Energy Consumption of Pumps
SPP Pumps Energy Division promotes the benefits of auditing complete pump systems, producing recommendations to minimise the energy consumption of pumps and their associated systems. Ongoing monitoring and validation of pump systems through their asset life by regular auditing will also be necessary to maintain energy reduction benefits.
