The DOE has published a proposal to create energyefficiency standards for both commercial and industrial clean water pumps ranging in size from 1-200 horsepower.

The pumps have been developed by geotechnical specialists at Glasgow Caledonian university who were tasked with finding methods to extract heat from the waste water, which averages temperatures of 10-14ºC.

Researchers at Temple University have shown that a strong electric field applied to a section of pipeline can smooth oil flow and yield significant pump energy savings in oil transport. Tests on a section of the Keystone pipeline found that the same flow rate could be achieved with a 75 percent reduction of pump power from 2.8 megawatts to 0.7 megawatts,

A 10-minute shower uses about five liters of water, which is approximately 90 percent less than in a conventional shower. The water that flows into the floor drain is collected, purified and pumped back to the shower nozzle. Because the water is already heated the energy savings can amount to 80 percent.

According to the BPMA, pumps account for no less than 10% of the world’s electricity consumption and two-thirds use up to 60% too much power.

Water-related energy use accounts for about 19% of the state’s total electricity use,including treating, pumping and conveying water to your home, heating the water for your shower and washing machine, and treating the wastewater that leaves your home.

Can solar power help eradicate extreme poverty in the developing world?

As an enterprise with 100% foreign owned capital, the production line of Binh An Co., Ltd is well equipped. This enterprise is specialized in producing fresh water from raw water pumped from Dong Nai River. Power consumption of the company is mainly for water pumping, lighting and air conditioning.

Minimum taxes on energy-rich diesel will rise under the EU plans, although the commission has stressed that this will not automatically result in a rise in diesel prices at the pump. It points to Germany and other member states where diesel taxes are already above the proposed new minimum threshold of €412 euros per 1,000 litres.

Chi Thanh Ice Manufacturing Ltd based in My Tho, Tien Giang is specialized in providing ice for offshore fishing vessels. The technological process mainly uses electric. So energy saving solutions mainly focus on electric efficiency, especially in key consumption areas such as compressors and heat pumps.
