How can you achieve decarbonization operation goals and reduce energy costs?

EAP_LogoIt can be difficult to pinpoint performance and inefficiency problems with every pump, valve, seal and actuator within each flow loop process across a refinery, chemical plant or other type of plant. The energy consumed by this equipment can be scattered across hundreds, if not thousands, of assets.

 

According to the Hydraulic Institute, because up to 50% of plant electricity is consumed by pumping systems, operators can benefit greatly by implementing a programmatic approach with a wide range of energy efficiency considerations — including process needs and control schemes.

 

Flowserve’s Energy Advantage Program is a holistic flow control approach aimed at helping operators reach their carbon reduction goals and lower total cost of ownership. It provides customers with Flowserve engineering expertise, a systematic data-driven evaluation process and a complete offering of products and services that can help increase energy efficiency through optimization of pump and valve power consumption, reduce carbon emissions, improve plant productivity and reliability, and provide operational cost savings.

Bespoke solutions engineered to match your ambition

Flowserve helps you identify opportunities within existing plants and process in the following areas:

  • Greater Efficiency - Optimize energy consumption in pumping systems to achieve energy transition goals. Enable significant efficiency gains for pumps and valves and utilize power recovery turbines to convert waste energy for productive uses.
  • Reduced Carbon - Minimize hydrocarbon fugitive emissions. Reduce environmental impact with seal and seal system upgrades, drivetrain electrification and flare gas recovery.
  • Lower Total Cost of Ownership - Increase asset reliability and lower operational expenses. Improve equipment reliability and reduce maintenance spend with digital solutions that add predictive maintenance capabilities.

Quickly make sustainability impacts

The Energy Advantage Program incorporates the global engineering expertise of Flowserve with our innovative, data-driven optimization of flow loop operations.

 

Combined with the complete Flowserve offerings of superior fluid motion and control products and services, the Energy Advantage Program enables companies like yours to realize a significant return on investment in as quickly as 12 to 18 months.
