Environmental Impacts of Equipment Selection

There are many options available when selecting a piece of equipment for your process plant.  Units that are fit for purpose and cost compliant may normally be determining factors when deciding to purchase.  Considering the environmently impact could actually save money through both capital and operational costs.

Glazik selects the Lightnin A310 Impeller for the vast majority of their applications.  The A310 is hightly efficient giving excellent flow output results while drawing low levels of power from the drive motor.  Dropping a few KW's on power requirement on a agitator running 24/7 will save on running costs and probably on material costs due to smaller sized more efficient equipment.

Start up torques on the Progressive Cavity Pump are a key consideration when sizing a motor for these pumps. Netzsch have over 16 patents on this pump design. One of these patents is around stator inlet design which greatly reduced the requirement for oversized motors. Smaller more efficient motors, smaller more efficient pumps, savings in capital and running costs.     

Factoring in the Environment when considering equipment selection can pay back.
