Inefficient Pumping Systems Drain More Than Fluids!

Pumping System Optimization:
Opportunities to Improve Life Cycle Performance

View training course dates & register now!


Did you know that the average pumping system efficiency is 40% or less? 
When pumping systems are not optimized they will "drain" a company's profitability with higher energy and maintenance costs, shorter mean time between repairs, more CO2 emissions and a less reliable system.

The typical medium-sized plant spends over $1.4 million a year on energy to run their pumping systems. Better system design and optimized pumping systems may result in savings that will average $350K per year on energy alone. In addition, 4,436 tons of CO2 emissions may be avoided by implementing concepts discussed during this"Pumping System Optimization: Opportunities to Improve Life Cycle Performance" one-day course.

With these savings opportunities, isn't it time to find out how much your pumping systems are costing you?  Host this course or learn more about attending the one-day course.

Pump Systems Matter (PSM) is focused on Energy Savings, Efficiency and Economics of pumps and pumping systems. 
 According to studies by the US Department of Energy:

  • Nearly 25% of electricity demand comes from industrial motor systems
  • Over 50% of pump life cycle costs result from energy and maintenance expense
  • Less than 15% of pump life cycle costs are initial purchase costs
  • Energy savings of 20% or more are possible with systems optimization

PSM aims to help lower the energy needs of North America while improving the bottom-line profitability of businesses by providing pump users with strategic, broad-based energy management and performance optimization solutions.  Industrial, municipal and many other sectors of North American economies are energy intensive.  Many savings programs and attractive paybacks are available to companies that seek efficiency improvements within motor-driven systems, especially with pumps.  PumpSystemsMatter.org is your educational resource for:

  • Getting started on optimizing your pumping systems
  • Free modeling tools, case studies, white papers, tip sheets, guidebooks, executive summaries and more to help you positively effect the profitability of your company
  • Standards, books and courses to help you become the expert in pumping systems for your organization
  • Available energy savings programs

We encourage you to learn more about the initiative and the benefits of joining the growing roster of companies that are currently sponsors. We are in the early start-up stages of this national pump systems market transformation initiative and invite your leadership and participation.
