The impact of good energy management is twofold. Firstly, from a purely operational point of view, good energy management results in lower energy costs, particularly important with ever-increasing energy prices. Secondly, and equally important, is the impact on CO2 production. Reduced energy used in pumping equipment has a direct impact on the CO2 footprint of your organisation.

When we consider the energy consumption of pumping equipment, calculations must always be based on the total efficiency of the pump; that is, the sum of the efficiency of the hydraulics and the motor. To achieve the best result one must optimize both efficiencies. It is no good saying we have the best hydraulic efficiency and then fit the hydraulics to a sub-standard efficiency submersible motor.

Highest efficiency available
The ABS EffeX range has built-in IE3 premium-efficiency motors in accordance with IEC60034-30 to optimise motor efficiency. And we are the first company in the world to offer submersible motors of such high standard. It is worth noting that the new IE3 efficiency level is even higher than EFF 1 as stated in the CEMEP regulations. The main benefit of using this type of motor is to provide the highest efficiency available in the market without increasing the risk of blockage associated with increasing hydraulic efficiency.

When we come to hydraulic efficiency, traditional thinking when designing impellers has dictated that you must always compromise between efficiency, rag handling and free solid passage. However, the ABS EffeX range boosts impeller design to the next level and achieves some of the highest hydraulic efficiencies in the market, providing the best resistance to blockage while still maintaining a minimum 75 mm free solid passage.

This is achieved by optimising impellers for efficiency using the latest CFD technology and then completing extensive testing to measure the blockage resistance of the impeller.
