Ultra-low harmonic drives save Australian council’s water facility 30 percent on energy costs

AlburyCity Council in New South Wales (NSW), Australia, operates two water supply systems that provide water to residents and businesses. The clean water reticulation system depends on a water boosting pump station, which pumps water to a storage tank uphill. The pumps need to be on standby constantly, and they typically operate for around six hours each day in the winter and up to 16 hours per day in the summer.

Peme Gourdin improves water pump energy efficiency by 10 percent

In 2014, a global water report commissioned by the United Nations projected that energy would represent a quarter of the cost of producing safe drinking water across the globe. Several years earlier, the Cercle Français de L’Eau estimated that the potabilization of drinking water was the second largest consumer of energy for public water and sanitation facilities, with an average 0.5 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of energy consumption per cubic meter of drinking water produced. Faced with such alarming figures, the world’s water industry began to mobilize.

Shore to ship power connection cuts emissions in the Port of Toulon

The French Port of Toulon handles over 1.6 million ferry and cruise passengers annually. It provides direct access to the city to approximately 1,300 ferries and cruise vessels each year – but these vehicles need power. The traditional solution is for the vessels to run their diesel engines to generate power, but this creates emissions and dirties the port’s air.

Smart sensor data aids Bangkok’s with water loss prevention 

Bangkok’s Metropolitan Waterworks Authority (MWA) processes and supplies an average of around 5.47 million cubic meters of water every day to over 11 million people. Water losses in the water supply system have always been a serious issue. As of September 2018, close to 30 percent of the water supply was reported to be lost through leakages in the pipeline network.
