Saves energy
March 1st 2006

Energy savings of £8k per annum, plus savings on lost water and maintenance were benefits achieved following a process water plant modernisation and pump replacement project at Robert McBride, Bradford-based maker of personal care products.

Process Installation, in conjunction with sister company Pump Engineering, supplied eight energy efficient, high flow centrifugal pumps that run at 4bar pressure. These are in pairs to operate as a duty and standby pump for each loop which ensures that production is not lost due to a single pump failure. Pumps are controlled individually via a remote panel, accessible from outside the bund area.
