Energy and utility savings are paramount for industries aiming to reduce operational costs and environmental footprint. Pumps, which can consume over 20% of industrial electricity, often run inefficiently due to oversizing, wear, and suboptimal operation.
Sulzer’s Energy Optimization Service addresses these issues with a comprehensive, data-driven approach to boost pump efficiency and sustainability.
Using proprietary digital tools like the PumpWise calculator along with Blue Box™ machine learning, Sulzer conducts detailed energy audits to identify inefficiencies and potential savings. The service includes customized retrofit solutions such as hydraulic rerates, specialized coatings, and wear clearance adjustments, all designed to optimize pump performance without costly replacements.
A pilot project with a Spanish power generation company increased pump efficiency from 72% to 83%, saving 5,000 MWh of electricity annually—translating into approximately €1 million in energy savings and over 2,300 tons of CO2 emissions avoided.
Sulzer’s retrofit expertise and global service network, with over 4,000 projects completed, underpin the success of its Energy Optimization Service, delivering measurable energy and utility savings across sectors like power generation, oil and gas, chemicals, and water treatment.
