Pumping with variable-speed pumps can improve process control, save energy, smooth out operation and reduce maintenance for wastewater pump station operators.However, some users of variable-speed pumps report little or no energy savings, or even increased energy usage. More frequent pump clogging is also common. The solution lies in intelligent control algorithms and a holistic pump system approach. By correctly applying variable-speed pumps, it is possible to maximize the benefits of variable-speed technology while avoiding pitfalls.Pump and pump system aspectsPerformance optimization depends in part on proper care of the pump and related systems.Pump sumps.
