Tips to Save Energy on Pumping System

As renowned drainage submersible pump suppliers and providers of dewatering submersible pumps in India, in the first part of this blog, we managed to share with you 3 great tips on saving energy on your pumping system. 

Taking the same discussion further, here are 4 more tips to save energy on pumping system -

1. Minimizing the system pressure drop

When you think about minimizing the system pressure drop, the best way to do so is through pipe-sizing optimization. The hydraulic friction loss would create a decrease in pressure from one end of a straight pipe to the other end of the pipe. The factors that influence the system pressure drop are pipe size (diameter), flow rate, pipe characteristics (material, surface roughness, etc.), properties of the fluid being pumped and overall pipe length.

2. Implementing proper control valves

The control valves are used in controlling pressure and/or flow. They can assist in reducing energy losses over non-controlled systems like multiple locations with different elevations and distances as well as irrigation systems that have a fixed-speed pump. However, The main functions of control valves are bypassing flow or throttling flow. The throttling process decreases the flow. On the other hand the process increases the pressure. Minimizing excess pressure is possible by bypassing excess flow back to another location or the reservoir.

3. Implementing (VSDs) variable speed drives

The drivers are used for variable-speed operation or fixed-speed. Energy can be saved for many applications simply by implementing variable speed drives. With the help of a variable speed drive, the rotational speed of the pump can be adjusted. This helps in achieving the appropriate head and flow that is required for the process. A variable speed drive often gets added to an existing pump motor system. This helps in slowing down the pump to fulfill actual requirements as compared to the theoretical requirements that come out at the beginning.  When a VSD is finally installed, it can accommodate changing system demands, that include a lot of potential future expansion plans. This proves to be a great method as it results in the lowest life cycle costs and the highest energy efficiency.

4. Eliminating unnecessary uses

Do not overlook this simple method of saving energy by eliminating all the unnecessary use. Such measures include using pressure switches to control the number of pumps in service as well as shutting down any unnecessary pump.

All about solid handling submersible pumps

Darling pumps have always been your trustful pump solution provider.We have always provided you with the best dewatering submersible pumps in India.However, we do not want to be just that. We want our customers to gain knowledge about our world. Therefore, in this blog, we will take you through the information on solid handling submersible pumps.

Firstly, you need to know what solid handling submersible pumps do.Well, these pumps are used to handle the most difficult solids applications. They are used for tasks like raw water lift stations and sewage that are generally unattended and need utmost freedom and reliability from clogging or other downtime maintenance.

When it comes to plants, they demand the water pumps to provide sustained high performance. These kinds of pumps need to have the best possible design to resist clogging. On top of that, they are also required to have minimum size driving motors and controls that reduce operational costs and construction. Wastewater and sewage treatment plants as well as industrial plants, where this service is needed, are other typical installations.

In order to successfully apply the use of solid handling submersible pumps, we need to take into account many elements. On top of knowing the discharge head requirements as well as the capacity of the pump, other factors that require to be analyzed are the following.

• Driver requirements
• Capacity operating range
• Horsepower required throughout the pump&operating range
• Parameters of the liquid being pumped
• Net Positive Suction Head Available (NPSHA) and submergence
• Allowable solid size
• Material of construction
• System head curve
• Maximum operating pressure
• Sump requirements
• Elevation

Now that we have looked into the considerations that we need to keep in mind, let us go on talking about the features of solid handling submersible pumps. Following are the submersible solids handling pump features.

In order to meet user needs, the parameters of these pumps need the units to be available in configurations. These pumps can be of the pull-up type configuration. This allows the customer to conduct an easy inspection by quickly pulling the unit out of the wet well. As the pump gets lowered in place, the discharge connection is made with the discharge elbow.

Apart from providing, the best dewatering submersible pumps in India, darling pumps also provides you with impressive solid handling submersible pumps. 

The performance of our pumps is impressive and always up to the mark.

Choosing Pumps for Jobsite Dewatering

Whether we talk about solid handling submersible pumps or dewatering submersible pumps in India, we always have to know how we can wisely choose a pump. As the renowned providers of solid handling submersible pumps, we are here to help you with the same. As it is only when you know how to choose a pump, that you will be able to finally use it appropriately and get the required results for your benefit.

Following we have put down a few points that you should go through, before making the important decision of choosing a pump for jobsite dewatering.Pump Application Checklist When we talk about the first step that is involved in developing a jobsite dewatering plan, it is to identify the required capacity.Along with identifying that, you also need to analyze discharge head and suction lift at the site.

If you are wondering, what refers to the required capacity, it is the amount of fluid that is required to be moved and the rate at which it needs to be moved. This capacity is measured in gallons per min. However, suction lift refers to the vertical distance of suction which the pump has to overcome in order to bring the fluid into the pump. This distance gets measured from the top of the pumping fluid all the way to the height of the suction end of the pump.

When we talk about the discharge head, it refers to the vertical height of discharge pipe or hose. Once you have been successful in calculating these factors, it is possible to easily determine the appropriate pump that should be used for the application.

However, it is advised that before you select a pump for the job, you should carefully evaluate the site conditions and give an answer for the following questions.

 What has to be accomplished by the pump?

 What is the type of the liquid that requires to be pumped?

 How far would the fluid require to be pumped?

 At what rate will the liquid need to be moved?

 Will there be a need of any auxiliary equipment?

 Will noise be a problem?

 Where the pump would be placed?

 Where the liquid would be discharged?

 Will filtration be required by the application?

Once you analyze all of this, you are good to go. For the best dewatering submersible pumps in India, come to us at Darling Pumps.
