According to a European Commission report, pumping systems account for nearly 22% of the energy consumed by electric motors worldwide and consume approximately 8.7% t of global electricity. However, by implementing variable speed drives (VSDs) in pump applications, energy savings of up to 50% can be achieved — depending on the system and its demand profile. Pump systems are responsible for…

Hydrostatic testing, or “hydrotesting”, is a critical step in confirming the integrity of vessels that handle a variety of fluids — from water to crude oil. The irony is that the same water used to test for leaks or weak points also introduces the risk of corrosion into the vessel, potentially leading to further integrity issues or corrosion-related problems in future. What’s a simple…
