Water Treatment Plants (WTPs) With High Efficiency Motors (HEMs) And Variable Speed Drives (VSDs)

The industrial sector especially (water treatment plant) is the largest consumer of energy in Malaysia with about 70% of the total electricity is consumed by electric motor driven pumps. The industrial sector contributes significantly to the national growth, and this economic growth drives the high...
