Filtration Solution
Industry
Water purification and filtration is a vital part of the Water and Wastewater Industry. These plants filter water for use in commercial, industrial and residential water supplies. Availability of fresh water is tied to economic and population growth. Equipment in this sector operates 24/7 and dependability is critical to facility performance. The water and wastewater industry is highly regulated and plants must meet high water quality standards.
Problem and Solution
The customer, an OEM, made equipment for critical reverse osmosis filtration processes. The process depends on motors that must have high efficiency, variable speed, corrosion resistance, a high ambient temperature and the ability to operate around the clock. The customer was concerned about motor reliability and operating costs caused by high energy use. A motor that operates at higher speed could potentially improve throughput and achieve higher operating savings.
Application
Water purification and filtration
Solution Type
The OEM chose a highly-efficient specially-coated electric motor. The motor, typically reserved for above-deck marine applications, also had special seals and precision balancing to reduce cavitation of the pump. Thanks to higher efficiencies, the cost savings alone will pay for the motor in less than a year. Other features, like additional service factor and a patented insulation system will reduce downtime in the higher ambient environment.
