ABB saves steel maker £68,000 A
specialist steel manufacturer in Rotherham is set to save £68,000 a year on the energy costs of pumping applications following the installation of five ABB industrial drives. The Tata Steel plant produces speciality steels for customers with demanding applications in aerospace, oil and gas, power generation and the manufacture of industrial bearings. ABB Drives Alliance member Halcyon Drives supplied,
installed and
commissioned three, 90 kW and two 75 kW ABB industrial drives to control critical pumping applications at the plant. Rated at IP55 to stop the ingress of dust and moisture, the drives with in-built intelligent pump function, multi-pump control, ensures that the optimum number of pumps is running to satisfy the process demand and brings a backup pump online in the event of a pump failure. Total savings were calculated to be £68,000 a year once the ABB drives were fitted permanently.
