CONCLUSIONS<br />

• The energy analysis of the El Arenal drinking water production system equipment<br />

and installations showed that the general conditions of these old installations (with<br />

some motor changes) varies from average to bad, as evidenced through low<br />

efficiencies, mainly in pumps (see Actions Matrix: Diagnostic of Installations).<br />

• The analysis of potential improvements, shown in Table ES-1: Identified Energysaving<br />

Measures and Potential demand, energy and cost Savings, identified a number
