Managing Power and Equipment Print

What production depends on.

WHY POWER IS CENTRAL

Pumps, treatment, machines and cooling all require it continuously.

WHAT INTERRUPTION COSTS

Production stopped Product in process potentially compromised Treatment interrupted

WHY TREATMENT INTERRUPTION MATTERS

Disinfection that stops mid-flow allows untreated water through.

WHAT TO ESTABLISH

That production stops when treatment is not operating.

WHAT TO CALCULATE

Total load, including motor starting requirements.

WHY STARTING LOADS

Pumps draw far more on starting, and generators sized on running load fail.

WHAT TO PROVIDE

Backup sized for the full production load, or a defined partial load.

WHAT TO ESTABLISH

What runs on backup and what does not.

WHAT TO PROTECT

Equipment against voltage fluctuation.

WHY

It damages motors, controls and treatment equipment.

WHAT MAINTENANCE REQUIRES

Scheduled servicing of every machine Filter and membrane replacement on schedule Lamp replacement on schedule Pump servicing Cleaning

WHY SCHEDULED RATHER THAN REACTIVE

Failures stop production, and treatment failures compromise product.

WHAT TO KEEP

Critical spares: filters, lamps, seals, belts, common parts.

WHY

A missing part stops production for days.

WHAT TO RECORD

Every service, replacement and repair, with dates and running hours.

WHAT TO TRACK

Downtime, by cause.

WHAT TO CALCULATE

Cost per hour of downtime.

WHY

It justifies spares and backup investment.
