Project challenge: Design a pump test rig with accuracy to 0.25%The customer is a large South African parastatal organisation which wanted to determine the efficiency of their pump stations used for pumping oil/petrol and diesel up from the coast to Johannesburg.
They have a number of drive/motor/pump combinations and needed to categorise these systems with an eye on future expansion. JAD Systems was asked to supply a solution that would accurately categorise the pump system to within 0.25%. |
HOW DO WE DETERMINE THE EFFICIENCY OF OUR PUMP STATIONS?

JAD solution
After collaboration and some research, the JAD Systems solutions comprised the following:
With this information in hand the customer could decide which hardware combinations are best suited to which pump site and the weather in order to either use a drive or go direct online for the feeds. |
