Pump Optimization
Pump flow, head &
efficiency analysis for
Adams Station
• Pump efficiency increased from <70% to 82%
• Pump discharge throttling reduced from
>50% to approximately 10%
• Annual energy savings is estimated about
180,000 kWh (approx. 6%)
• The overall unit energy cost reduced from
$81.1 per MG to $75.7 per MG (annual cost
savings of about $16,500)
