The SKF Energy Monitoring
Service – Pump Systems, a
BeyondZero Portfolio
product, has helped a customer
identify a potential reduction in CO2
emissions.

The customer, operating in the
pulp and paper industry, identified
an energy improvement potential of
70% for one factory by monitoring
just eight out of its 300 pumps.

Through monitoring and optimising
the efficiency of those pumps, it was
calculated that the factory could cut
its annual electricity demand by up
to 2500MWh, corresponding to 1%
of the factory total electricity use. In
terms of CO2 emission reduction,
this equates to about 1900t/year
(according to world power grid mix
CO2 factor of 0.749kg CO2/kWh).

Energy Monitoring Service (EMS)
for pump systems typically shows an
energy use savings potential can be
greater than 20% in non-monitored
pump systems; and year-to-year
savings of about 5% in those systems
