| Summary: | Pumping System Assessment Tools (PSAT) is a tool that can be used to assess the pump system. Targeted pump in Plant A and B had been identified to apply energy savings. Through PSAT, end user can calculate electricity consumption, pump optimization rating and annual savings consumption and savings opportunities that can be done through PSAT. In this research stud, Plant A which is located in Peninsular of Malaysia, is glove manufacturing plant. Meanwhile, Plant B which is in Sarawak is cement manufacturing plant. Targeted pump for both plants has been identified to apply the PSAT. Condition of the pump, lifespan, running hours were taken into considerations before selecting the targeted pump. To optimize pump parameters, further analysis was conducted on the pump using PSAT. Annual savings potential for the existing performance of the system can be compared with the optimal condition that is suggested by the PSAT database. Annual savings potential for Plant A is found to be RM 7,500 meanwhile for Plant B, about RM 16, 500 annual savings potential that can be saved. Through this research study, pump system limitation to collect the data is the research limitation as some parameters were not available during walkthrough energy audit and data collection. The present of PSAT is great tools to be used to assist user to do preliminary assessment for each of the pump system available in the plant. Condition of the pump was varied by increasing the flow rate of the pump which will lead to higher pump efficiency, thus bring saving opportunities to the user. |
