Modern continuous monitoring technologies are streamlining maintenance programs and improving plant operations.
Instrumentation/Controls
Pump systems have long been operated through monitors and controls. In recent years, growth of the industrial internet of things (IIoT) has exponentially increased the way sites can collect, store and analyze data to improve operations. This is the fastest growing industry sector.
A flame retardant manufacturer incorporated frequency converters to control its cooling water pumps.
PLC-based PACs fill the gap between traditional distributed control systems and basic programmable logic controllers.
Instrumentation led these users to more informed decisions.
Modern tools allow plants to predict and prevent costly failures.
Each adjustable speed drive can find its own set point independently without stressing the entire system.
Modern software provides plants with the data they need to improve reliability while empowering pump operators to make well-informed decisions.
System design and instrumentation decisions can impact the efficiency and maintenance requirements of these pumps in wastewater applications.
