May 25, 2005—The US Department of Energys (DOE) Industrial Technologies Program (ITP) has joined with the Hydraulic Institute (HI), a DOE Allied Partner, to begin a new education and outreach initiative, called Pump Systems Matter, says DOE.
The vision for this new effort is to help industrial pump users in North America gain a competitive business advantage through strategic, broad-based energy management and system performance optimization approaches.
Pump Systems Matter will provide end users, engineering consultants and pump suppliers with tools and collaborative opportunities to integrate pump system performance optimization and efficient energy management practices into everyday business operations. It will also bring to light the most compelling energy savings opportunities that can improve the bottom line.
ITP and HI have worked together to develop several resources to help pump users better manage and optimize performance of their pumping systems. These include the Pump Life Cycle Costs: A Guide to LCC Analysis for Pumping Systems, Executive Summary, and Variable Speed Pumping: A Guide to Successful Applications: Executive Summary.
HI is seeking partners and stakeholders to help define and assure the success of Pump Systems Matter. The first organizational meeting will be during the ACEEE Summer Study, July 20, 2005, in West Point, NY. For more information, visit HI.
