NO TIME TO WASTE

WHEN THE GIBBONS TEAM WAS recently dispatched to the Anglian Water Stambourne site to fne-tune and enhance the performance of the balance tank flling pump, there was no time to waste. This task was no ordinary maintenance job; it required the implementation of advanced speed control measures aimed at reducing the fow rate, ultimately leading to signifcant energy savings.

In this intricate operation, the Gibbons team used an in-built timer within the ABB ACQ580. The Gibbons engineer employed this timer to delay the start of the pump, aligning perfectly with the specifc requirements outlined by the process managers.

After an initial survey, the team meticulously planned and executed the modifcations, ensuring that the
balance tank flling pump operated at peak efciency, all while reducing energy consumption.

The ABB ACQ580 Variable Speed Drive (VSD) is a versatile motor control solution designed to optimise the performance of electric motors in various industrial applications.

The ACQ580 enables precise control of motor speed and torque, allowing for enhanced efciency and productivity. It boasts advanced features, including integrated safety functions, built-in timers, and extensive connectivity options. With its user-friendly interface and intuitive programming, the ACQ580
is well suited to use in industries seeking to improve energy efciency, reduce maintenance costs, and achieve precise control over their processes, whether they are used in pumps, fans, conveyors, or other machinery.
