Introduction:  This manual gives a brief description of state-of-the-art technologies used to develop high efficiency motors, including premium efficiency induction motors, permanent magnet motors, and switched reluctance motors. It also analyses issues that affect motor system efficiency and provides guidelines on how to deal with those issues namely by:  Selection of energy‐efficient motors  Properly sizing of motors;  Using Variable Speed Drives (VSDs), where appropriate. The use of VSDs can lead to better process control, less wear in the mechanical equipment, less acoustical noise, and significant energy savings;  Optimisation of the complete system, including, the distribution network, power quality and efficient transmissions;  Motor Systems Energy Assessments  Taking Measurements  Applying best maintenance practices.  Motor Repair  How to win approval for energy efficiency projects  Energy Management Systems

Electric Motors Use 70% of the World’s Power   ■ We impact that load 30 – 50%   ■ Savings can be as much as 20% to 30% on the overall bill   ■ Look for 1hp and above operating at least 2,000 hrs/yr 

Abstract: The degree and importance of automation at municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) have increased with the development of technology and tightening of treatment requirements. The objective of this paper is to assess and document the current status of process automation at WWTPs in Finland to determine successful practices and the needs of plant operators. Renewing ammonia or organic content removal processes to total nitrogen removal processes has also increased the need of Instrumentation, Control and Automation (ICA). The survey has quantified that the reliability and accuracy of the on-line sensor measurement has improved recently, which makes the use of on-line measurements in control more applicable. The use of nutrient sensors in control is apparently still rare at Finnish WWTPs even though their use for monitoring purposes is common.
