Energy challenge

Today pumps consume 10% of the world's electrical power, so optimising the amount of energy they use makes sound sense.

Pumps are vital; without them we would have no hot water, heating or air conditioning, nor could we access clean water or dispose of wastewater.

Manufacturing and the process industries would grind to a halt.

Making sure the best pump option is selected for a specific task can mean an 80%+ energy savings.

The Meet the energy challenge NOWportal (energy.grundfos.com) from Grundfos Pumps has become an umbrella for a range of information that covers pump facts, future legislative demands; technological advances; a broadcast centre and so on.

Grundfos says sustainability is key to its business, so presenting the facts about pumping and how to improve efficiencies is not just business, but a way a life.
