Meeting the energy challenge with pumps

Pumps consume 10% of the world’s electrical supply, and, according to Grundfos, selecting the best pump option for a specific task can achieve energy savings of at least 80%. Helping to make the best use of pumps is the ‘Meet the energy challenge NOW’ portal on the web site of Grundfos. It has become an umbrella for a broad range of energy information.

Topics covered include facts on pumps, future legislation demands and technological advances. There is also a broadcast centre.

The rationale behind the portal for Grundfos is that presenting the facts about pumping and how to improve efficiencies is not just a business to the company but a way of life.
