quest. The results were remarkable: the energy
consumption of the brine recirculation pump
was reduced by 123 kW per pump, equivalent
to a 9.8% energy efficiency improvement. This
led to a 1.5 MW annual energy saving at the
plant level, corresponding to 7,630 tons of car-
bon dioxide emissions reduction.

Soluzioni di pompaggio ad alta efficienza

energetica per un futuro ecosostenibile

Nell’attuale contesto di ecosostenibilità e di impennata dei prezzi dell’energia, l’effi cienza energetica è più che
mai cruciale per i gestori di impianto. E i produttori di pompe possono fornire loro un supporto fondamentale in
tal senso, con guadagni di effi cienza che incidono non solo sui sistemi di pompaggio ma anche sul consumo
energetico complessivo degli impianti. L’articolo si focalizza sulle soluzioni di energy saving proposte da Trillium
Flow Technologies, il cui portfolio comprende gli storici brand italiani Gabbioneta Pumps e Termomeccanica
Pompe.
