AFT's Trey Walters and Dupont's Judy Hodgson jointly presented the paper " Optimizing Pumping Systems To Minimize First or Life Cycle Cost" at the Pump Expo in Fort Washington, PA October 22. The paper describes the intelligent system sizing technology behind AFT Mercury, IntelliFlow®, and presents case histories of the application of this technology to four pumping systems. Demonstrating the significant benefits to be derived with intelligent system sizing, the case histories illustrated cost savings on the subject piping systems ranging from 17% to 72%. The case histories illustrate using AFT Mercury to optimize system design for:

With pumping systems accounting for about 20% of the world's energy usage, a great potential for cost and energy savings exists within such systems. Unfortunately, pumping system design engineers work in an environment where budget and schedule constraints limit their ability to optimize their systems using traditional methods. "Optimizing Pumping Systems To Minimize First Or Life-Cycle Cost."
Numerical optimization methods offer a powerful new technology for pump users when combined with pumping system analysis software. Whether the design goal is to reduce First Costs or Life Cycle Costs, this technology promises to significantly reduce pumping system costs and energy usage.
