Energy and maintenance costs can account for 50% to 95% of the cost of pumping systems. The ResourceSmart Best Practice Guide to Pumping Systems is a step-by-step guide to improving energy efficiency in industrial pumps.

It provides basic information on system operation and outlines opportunities for improving system performance and efficiency, delivering cost savings for business and reducing carbon emissions.

Improving the efficiency of pumping system makes good business sense. It can help business:

• reduce energy costs
• reduce maintenance requirements
• more closely match pumping system capacity to
• production requirements
• improve system reliability
• reduce resource consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.

Pumping system efficiency improvements can have payback periods from as little as several weeks to just a few years.
