PUMP IT UP: INNOVATION, TRENDS AND SYSTEM INNOVATION
Here, deckpro pumps uncovers the most exciting changes in pump technology to look out for and how to unlock their full potential.
The drive towards net-zero emissions and rising energy costs are accelerating innovations in pump technology. With the introduction of new legislation and the adoption of electric solutions, our industry is benefiting from reduced carbon footprints and improved operational costs.
At the same time, the industry is shifting away from single-point-of-failure systems to incorporating standby and backup pumps that ensure greater reliability. But, despite these advancements, many of us often face the challenge of budget constraints and limited system knowledge, which can prevent us from optimising the performance of new pump technology.
Emerging innovation Over the past decade advancements in pump technology have been largely driven by the global focus on sustainability and energy efficiency.
We’ve seen as recently as last year, EU regulations come into effect that mandate the use of IE4-level motors running between 75kW and 200kW (these are classified as providing 'super premium efficiency', consuming less energy and delivering lower operational costs compared

to IE3s). The IEC standards are improving all the time, and that means that we can save a lot of money whilst improving our carbon footprint.
In the coming decade, efficiency will increasingly influence budget decisions. As energy costs fluctuate, the benefits of investing in efficient technologies will become more impactful - payback periods will become shorter and the process of calculating ROI will become easier.
The pump specialists at deckpro pumps share their predictions, stating that smarter, more efficient pumps will continue to emerge as the adoption of electric solutions accelerates. The automotive industry has already been making waves in the shift towards electric and it’s anticipated the pump industry will not be far behind.
Joe Smith, deckpro’s Operations Manager, says: “The pump industry and the electric motor industry are leading the way in their innovations. Depending on the targets set by the government, our country is aiming for net-zero emissions, and electric motors play a crucial role in achieving this goal. Having this mentality will only enhance innovation and accelerate the development of new pump products."
