Sulzer has launched the Sulzer Energy Optimisation Service, a lifecycle offering that uses digital analysis, machine learning, engineered retrofits and performance agreements to improve centrifugal pump efficiency.
The company said this service is targeted at energy-intensive sectors including oil and gas.
Sulzer highlighted that small efficiency gains can yield large savings (a quoted 1% global pump-efficiency rise = ~59 TWh), and pointed to a Spanish pilot where rerating five pumps lifted efficiency from 72% to 83%, saving the operator roughly €1 million and 2,300 tonnes CO₂ a year.
The service is presented as a four-step programme: an initial energy audit using Sulzer’s proprietary calculator, a tailored retrofit proposal weighing cost/downtime/payback, implementation by Sulzer’s retrofit teams (4,000+ projects delivered globally to date), and ongoing monitoring under a performance agreement.
Sulzer frames the offering as a practical route for oil and gas operators to reduce operating cost, improve reliability and meet carbon-reduction targets without replacing whole pump fleets.
