Three Steps for Reducing Total Cost of Ownership in Pumping Systems

[AtakanO]

     Electricity usage costs have become an increasing fraction of the total cost of ownership (TCO) for industrial pumping systems. In fact, energy cost represents 40% of the TCO of a typical pump. It is possible to reduce the electrical consumption by at least 30% through appropriate energy management practices while reducing the maintenance cost. This
paper explains how to reduce TCO with a limited investment.
