Ruhrverband<br />
Ruhrverband is a municipal water utility plant that provides water to<br />
4.6 million people and wastewater treatment to 60 cities in the Ruhr region.<br />
Its 65 wastewater treatment plants treat wastewater from 2.2 million<br />
people and businesses in the region every day, ensuring that only purified<br />
water is returned to the river.<br />
Pump Monitoring and Connected Services<br />
SEEPEX Pump Monitoring provides comprehensive monitoring and optimization<br />
of progressive cavity pumps to protect components and improve<br />
maintenance and operation. Digital monitoring minimizes life cycle costs<br />
and increases overall efficiency. Using sensors for temperature, pressure<br />
or flow, SEEPEX Pump Monitoring can make the pump's operating data<br />
available in the intelligent cloud-based platform. This allows users to continuously<br />
monitor the pump and view live data. Users can also set alarms<br />
and trends, and log all data for later performance analysis. The ability to<br />
access the pump's performance data at any time and respond quickly to<br />
changes through notifications helps to avoid unplanned downtime. Additionally,<br />
the pump only reports when it notices that something is wrong.<br />
all SEEPEX customers will benefit<br />
from the results in the future - the extended<br />
monthly report is now part of<br />
the monitoring solution.<br />
Pump monitoring benefits<br />
at a glance<br />
– Continuous monitoring of pump<br />
status and components provides<br />
visibility across applications and<br />
processes<br />
– Early notification of deviations<br />
from optimal condition<br />
– Increased component life<br />
– Determine optimal operating<br />
point with minimum energy<br />
consumption<br />
In addition to providing convenient service for critical processes, the benefits<br />
include improved spare parts utilization. The knowledge gained from<br />
pump monitoring can be used to optimize maintenance cycles. The measurement<br />
data can be accessed via an app on a smartphone, tablet or from<br />
a control room.<br />
SEEPEX offers Connected Services, another module in its digital portfolio,<br />
to analyze and use the available data at any time. Benefits of the cloudbased<br />
service include predictive maintenance through early warnings and<br />
wear prediction, and full access to historical, live and trended data for advanced<br />
analysis.<br />
