LOWEST LIFECYCLE COST RANGE AND CONDITION MONITORING.
Engineered to sustainably drive your organisation toward NetZero.
With increased scrutiny being imposed on every organisation’s carbon performance, companies worldwide are invariably setting ambitious net zero carbon targets. By recognising their impact on climate change, global business is demonstrating a serious commitment toward a more sustainable and cleaner planet for their customers, investors, consumers and suppliers, and by effect so is SPP Pumps.
Evaluating the total cost of ownership when planning pumping schemes is vital for companies aiming for net zero and it is the main driver behind the development of our Lowest Lifecycle Cost Range. This is a series of pumps purposefully designed and engineered to provide the end-user with the lowest total cost of ownership from initial implementation to final operation.
The SPP Pumps Lowest Lifecycle Cost Range incorporates split case and vertical suspended bowl designs developed using many of our existing well-proven hydraulics. This world class series of water pumps has been finely tuned with the aid of computational fluid dynamics and features enhanced mechanical designs and many innovative features. Standard construction materials have been substantially upgraded to reduce efficiency degradation and increase component longevity. These varied and innovative advancements throughout the entire range not only help businesses achieve their net zero goals but also provide significant long-term cost savings and vastly improved operational efficiencies.
CALCULATING LIFECYCLE COSTS.
Lifecycle cost analysis (LCC) is now an accepted method of evaluation for both capital projects and replacement plants. With rising energy costs a major contributor toward inefficiency there are various LCC models available to help pump users calculate capital, energy, maintenance and efficiency degradation to determine a pump solution’s Lifecycle cost. These models enable the user to make an informed decision based on the true cost of ownership, not just the initial capital cost which is a fraction of the whole life cost of a typical pumping installation.
The chart to the right illustrates a typical five-year lower lifecycle saving over (need more detail on this chart please and how it works, what type of pump used etc.)
The energy used within a pumping installation alongside any costly unplanned downtime can result in a loss of productivity, combined with the replacement of lower life expectancy consumable parts such as seals and bearings all equate to as much as 80-90% of the total Lifecycle cost. Businesses can reduce energy consumption by selecting a more efficient pump solution such as SPP Pumps’ Lowest Lifecycle Cost Range. Not only are our Lowest Lifecycle Pumps more efficient they also have the added benefit of reducing CO2 emissions, leading to environmental benefits and the reduction of the Emission Levies commonly imposed on high-energy users.
CONDITION MONITORING.
To further improve capital equipment ownership costs it is critical for pump users to monitor and regularly maintain installed SPP water pump equipment.
SPP Condition Monitoring implements Internet of Things (IoT) technology in conjunction with SPP Pumps Industrial Water Pumps. This integration of technology with expertly engineered pumps enables significant customer benefits to enhance pump efficiency, improve reliability and extend overall pump performance and product lifespan.
Here are some key benefits of IoT-enabled pump systems:
Real-time Monitoring
IoT sensors continuously collect data on various parameters such as pressure, temperature, and flow rate. This data is transmitted to a central system for real-time analysis.
Predictive Maintenance
Using data analysis our IoT systems can predict when maintenance is required, preventing unexpected failures and reducing downtime. Analysing the data also helps to predict when maintenance will be required leading to more efficient maintenance schedules.
Energy Efficiency
IoT-enabled pumps optimize energy use by adjusting their operation based on real-time conditions, leading to significant energy savings and lower operational costs.
Remote Control and Management
IoT technology allows for remote monitoring and control of pump systems. This is particularly useful for pumps located in hard-to-reach or hazardous areas.
Enhanced Safety and Compliance
IoT systems can detect leaks, pressure anomalies, and other issues early, helping to prevent environmental damage and ensuring compliance with safety regulations.
Data-Driven Decision Making
The data collected from IoT sensors provides valuable insights into pump performance and system health, enabling more informed decision-making and strategic planning.
Condition Monitoring can Lead to Early Diagnosis of Potential Pump Equipment Failure SPP Pumps IoT Systems continually monitor a pump’s energy consumption and system efficiencies. IoT Systems can highlight pump wear, identify poor operating efficiencies and highlight system irregularities. The data can indicate an early diagnosis of potential industrial water pump equipment failure which can result in considerable repair cost savings and crucially reduce unplanned pump downtime, helping the user minimise energy consumption and reduce operating costs.
SPP Condition Monitoring of water pump systems will provide a high level of security by detecting, analysing and evaluating key equipment performance, including:
- Performance/Efficiency degradation
- Driver alignment condition
- Bearing vibration levels
- Residual unbalance
- Bearing operating temperatures
- Cavitation
- Driver alignment condition
