speaker1_bio | Eric is a senior project manager at Garver where he serves as the Water and Energy Practice Leader. He specializes in delivering sustainable infrastructure solutions through optimized hydraulic systems and optimized treatment processes. In 2019, Eric was selected for the Water Research Foundation’s 12-person Energy Advisory Committee where he advises the group on energy efficiency and process optimization projects. In 2022, Eric was selected to the AWWA M83 - Energy Management of Pumping and Treatment Processes design manual committee and is the co-author of Chapter 3 – Managing Energy in Pumping Processes, along with Dr. Tom Walksi. Eric is a certified Pump Systems Assessment Professional (PSAP) through the Hydraulics Institute, and he also an instructor in the PSAP course offered through HI. Being PSAP certified allows Eric to set the standard for pump systems assessments and optimization techniques, leading to energy efficient and reliable systems. |
Abstract Text | For years, traditional asset management utilizes ASHRAE Level 1 audits where a visual assessment of a critical process components, such as pumps, blowers, filters, clarifiers, tanks, pipes etc. are performed. The engineer develops an inventory list and a risk register by coupling the field assessment data with the historical maintenance logs. This risk register is used to systematically evaluate risks, define their priority and potential impact, and document mitigation strategies with their respective costs. But does this tell the entire story? For electro-mechanical equipment the answer is “NO”. This presentation will reveal how energy intensity mapping and wire to water efficiency testing can significantly enhance the LOF accuracy. |
