"Dynamic models can be used to accurately estimate the energy savings."
Today the water industry is focused on reducing energy costs for both pumping and waste water treatment applications.
The Water Industry has enormous potential for energy savings by replacing "on-off" pump drive controls with VSD technology. Unfortunately, it is difficult to determine in advance whether a VSD investment will deliver the required return on investment.
We can help companies faced with increasing energy bills determine the most efficient way of operating plant.

, for modelling and energy efficiency
studies of pumping applications.
We also run an annual Process Control Academy training event.
Our clients include Scottish Water, Anglian Water, Severn Trent, and Yorkshire Water.
We provide standard, industry specific and bespoke courses on a range of fundamental and advanced control engineering topics.
We can adapt individual courses to suit your company's industry/business. (Examples)
Use of dynamic models to accurately estimate potential energy savings through changes to plant (e.g. variable speed drives) and operating regimes (e.g. pump scheduling, level setpoints).
Coupling of models of waste water treatment plant (WWTP) and compressors to determine possible energy savings through changes to control.
A paper mill needed to reduced its effluent, a proposed system to recycle gland sealing water was modelled and dynamic variations on water temperature were assessed.
