The Challenges
In the water industry, energy costs are substantial. Globally, pumping and aeration processes account for 60 percent of energy used in water and wastewater management applications and represent the number one energy expense. Peak-demand charges can further increase your energy expenditures. But energy consumption is also the single most manageable cost variable in the industry. And improving energy management can have a dramatic impact on lowering your overall operational costs. To capture these savings, you need the latest technology to optimize your systems and to improve the monitoring and management of your most energy-intensive processes.
EnergyMetrix
Visualize your energy usage with FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix
Water wastewater solutions improve motor control and system visibility so you can manage energy consumption.
Reduce Energy Use Not Service
Intelligent Motor Control solutions from Rockwell Automation combine leading-edge motor control with real-time communications to help you manage and reduce energy consumption. You can achieve dramatic energy savings throughout your process by replacing across-the-line starting and mechanical flow control dampers and valves with soft-start technology and variable frequency drives. Intrinsically energy efficient, Allen-Bradley SMC Flex controllers apply reduced voltage to AC motors to enable soft starting and stopping. Soft-start technology limits in-rush current and also reduces the effects of water hammer in pumping systems. Allen-Bradley PowerFlex variable frequency AC drives allow operators to regulate motor speed to match actual load demand on pumps and blowers while controlling flow rates and system pressure fluctuations. By reducing motor speed during low-demand cycles, you can significantly decrease energy usage. Monitor Energy Consumption and Power Quality As a result, you can achieve an integrated control system with real-time reporting that allows you to proactively respond to The multi-disciplined PlantPAx Process Automation System changes in power requirements. provides the process and Intelligent Motor Control your system requires plus visibility into energy consumption. Deploy an Energy Management Strategy Energy management begins with a plan, and the Through integrated programmable automation controllers (PACs) and scalable software components, you can achieve highly detailed Rockwell Automation Industrial GreenPrint methodology can trending analysis that can help you determine and automate help your company develop a holistic energy resource strategy on-demand and peak usage. that encompasses your consumption of water, air, gas, electricity and steam (WAGES). The Industrial GreenPrint methodology is When you integrate Allen-Bradley PowerMonitor energy meters comprised of four stages Awareness, Efficiency, Optimization into your pumping stations, electrical rooms, and purification and and Aggregation. water-discharging equipment, you can also obtain real-time power quality data.
