The function of a municipal water system is to provide clean water to its customers and to protect the downstream environment. Advanced Energy offers a unique set of services that can improve the efficiency of water systems, protect the environment and lower costs to customers and taxpayers.
Water systems are very energy intensive.
Pumps and aeration equipment, driven by electric motors, operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Much of this equipment is original equipment, dating back 30 years or more. Water systems with long hours of operation and old often repaired motors are prime candidates for efficiency improvements. New environmental requirements and growing populations are forcing water plants to incorporate new technologies, such as membrane separation, ozonation, and ultraviolet disinfection. With the availability of these new technologies and increasing efficiency concerns, there is an increasing need to evaluate our current systems and search for improvement opportunities.
