PUMPS AND DRIVES RESOURCES

• Getting A Jump On Pump Maintenance To Reduce Costs And Improve Resilience

  To improve pump maintenance and service to 418,000 in and around Wellington, Wellington Water trialed Info360 Insight from Autodesk as part of a solution with Stantec.

• How To Cost-Effectively Increase Pumping Station Capacity

  Early detection of leaks can preserve pumping station capacity. Full-profile insertion (FPI) mag meters can be installed near valves and bends, making them ideal for pumping stations.

• Albuquerque Water Utility Eases The Pressure On System Performance With Xylem Technology

  Explore how the Sensus Pressure Profile Software Application saved time and resources for an Albuquerque Water Utility. 

• Henry County Water Authority Ensures Water Distribution Keeps Up With Increasing Demand From A Growing Population

  To address the growing population and projected water demand over the next 30 Years, the Henry County Water Authority recently completed a master plan update that includes two booster pump stations – the Fairview booster pump station and the Southeastern booster pump station.

• Why Your Water Utility Should Be Using Hydraulic Modeling

  Hydraulic modeling offers a vast range of benefits such as improving system performance, long-term infrastructure planning, predicting and anticipating demographic changes, and more.

• Energy-Saving In Water Systems: The Key To Cutting Costs And Achieving Net Zero

  Many of us are lucky enough to be able to turn on a tap and have clean water start flowing. Behind this, and all sorts of other domestic, business, and industrial applications that enable our modern world, utilities must move and process incredible volumes of water. Moving this much water is extremely energy-intensive. Experts estimate that around 4% of total global energy production goes toward water and wastewater processing. That’s approximately equivalent to the total energy use of Australia.

• New Pumping Station In Washington Provides Continuous Water Service

  Times have changed in Washington state’s Skagit County, perched just 25 miles south of the Canadian border. Skagit County, which extends across 1,920 square miles, maintains one of the largest and most diverse agricultural communities west of the Cascade mountain range. Over 90 different crops are grown in this fertile valley, including blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, tulips, daffodils, pickling cucumbers, and specialty potatoes.

• Save Time, Energy, And Cost With A Well Clean-Out

  The growing water scarcity in the western United States has led to an increased dependency on groundwater from wells. With regulatory pressure on groundwater, such as California’s Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA), and the increased cost associated with the energy required to extract water, it is a good time to discuss the efficiency of wells.
