This is a live, repeat presentation of a webinar that was originally offered on 2/17/16. Attendees of the previously offered presentation, RV-W021716, will not receive CEU for attending the 05/11/16 presentation.
 
We added variable frequency drives for energy savings and it costs more to operate than ever before. The energy savings project is complete but there are no savings. The power bill is seriously over budget but there are no funds to upgrade the electrical system(s). We implemented a BNR process and our operating expenses have gone out of control. If these are familiar refrains, stop and pay attention to where the energy is going. Improper control logic with variable frequency drives and motors, improper wet well control, check valves, weir settings, lights and lighting are among the power mongers. In this webinar, engineers, contractors, and owners will observe the energy wasting results of poor project design and timing an will acquire the tools, measures, and metrics for energy savings.
Note: This is a live webinar delivered via WebEx. Session instructions will be emailed to you 24-48 hours prior to the webinar and the morning of the webinar. If you have not received your instructions for any reason please call client support the day of the event. Webinars are live and interactive and students will have the ability to directly interact with and ask questions of the presenter.
Course Objectives
  • Define and implement process designs and control strategies to ensure energy savings.
  • Calculate the cost:benefit ratio of using VFD motor controls to reduce power consumption and realistically achieve those benefits.
  • Ascertain the minimum energy goals of a unit operation and create a design and controls to achieve real energy reductions over the projected operating range of the design versus traditional designs.
  • Specify with justification the use of higher performance and higher quality components
  • Detail and implement operating and control strategies to reduce energy consumption while concurrently reducing environmental risks.
