A Levern
re-engineered pump can be more cost effective than replacement
pumps for several reasons.
The
difference in cost between re-engineering a worn component
and buying new spares. Typically Advanced Composite technology
rebuilds are 50 - 60% the cost of new components with
the added advantage of faster delivery periods.
By
re-engineering the original materials with ARC composites
the components now have superior wear characteristics
to that of the original substrate metal. This allows increased
mean time between failures, and extended equipment life.
The
difference in cost between re-engineering existing pumps
drives and controls vs. a new pump installation can
be considerable. By re-engineering the existing equipment,
costly civil / pipework modifications can be avoided.
The
greatest cost saving by far is in the reduced energy
consumption, achieved by returning the pumps hydraulic
efficiency to it's as new condition and then extending
the pump's life and maintaining the critical tolerances.
Levern
Engineering can fully upgrade both the mechanical and
electrical components of any pumping equipment. By utilizing
performance testing ARC, ABB Invertors and ABB high efficiency
motors. Detailed return on investment proposals can be
calculated, detailing pump station refurbishment and pay
back periods.
