Predictive maintenance solutions for critical wastewater facility assets

01

Most industrial pumps operate at less than half of their potential efficiency, usually due to poor operating conditions and practices that can be impossible to pinpoint with traditional approaches to maintenance.

  • Pumps consume 25% of all industrial energy
  • Pumps typically operate at 40% efficiency
  • Inefficiency costs $500,000 on average over the pump’s lifespan

02

Cooling towers are hard to reach and hard to monitor, so many maintenance pros miss key indicators of imminent failure. Tower failure can have downstream impacts on almost all production processes.

  • $1,000/hour downtime cost
  • $50,000 in equipment costs per failure
  • $100,000+ cost savings per avoided failure
03

Route-based maintenance doesn’t capture the full picture of ID/FD fan health. These fans are large, putting relatively small data anomalies lower on the priority list — but they are often a warning sign of imminent failure.

  • Up to $20,000/hour downtime cost
  • $250,000 in equipment costs per failure
  • $300,000+ cost savings per avoided failure

Case Study Spotlight

Altoona Water Authority

Safeguarding communities through efficient wastewater management.

On December 13th, a significant spike in peak acceleration and velocity readings at Altoona Water Authority, a public wastewater facility in Altoona, PA, caught the attention of SMARTdiagnostics. Thanks to the rapid response from SENTRYsolutions, plant operators were prompted to inspect the dryer motor and potentially grease the inboard bearing.
