Power Optimization for Surface Water Treatment Plant

Location: Undisclosed | Installed 2024

Challenge

A surface water treatment plant was experiencing frequent electrical blips and power surges that disrupted operations and damaged critical pumps and motors. Each incident led to costly repairs, downtime, and the temporary rental of replacement equipment, putting additional strain on budgets and service reliability. The facility needed a long-term solution to stabilize power and protect its essential systems.

Solution

ENV Technologies installed its patented Voltage Recycling System across seven of the plant’s main switchgears. This advanced technology conditions incoming power, eliminates micro-surges, and balances three-phase voltage — optimizing the plant’s overall power quality and operational efficiency.

Results (31 Days Before vs. 28 Days After Implementation)

Following installation, the facility achieved:

• Elimination of electrical blips and surges across all critical systems
  
• Reduced energy consumption and lower electricity costs
  
• Improved efficiency factors for motors and pumps
  
• Balanced three-phase voltage delivering consistent, reliable power
  
• Extended equipment lifespan with fewer unplanned maintenance events

Broader Impact

• Operational Reliability: The plant now operates without unplanned electrical interruptions, reducing downtime and risk of equipment failure.
  
• Cost Efficiency: Lower maintenance and rental costs improved budget predictability and reduced overall operational expenses.
• Sustainability: By optimizing voltage and reducing waste energy, the facility decreased its environmental footprint while improving service reliability for the community.

The Outcome

With ENV’s Voltage Recycling System, the surface water treatment plant achieved greater electrical stability, lower operating costs, and extended equipment life, ensuring consistent, efficient service delivery to the community it supports.
