Grundfos partners with SPP Pumps provides PaT Boeing on energy efficiency for Hong Kong WtW Grundfos and Boeing have signed a memorandum of understanding to help the aviation company lower energy consumption at its production plants.
nies like Danfoss and Grundfos who have the technology and expertise to help us,” said Maria Laine, vice president, Northern Europe, Boeing International.
As a result, Grundfos technology will play a part in making Boeing’s production run as energy efficiently as possible.
Grundfos technology and knowledge will be used in energy audits of Boeing’s plants, initially in the US, where large parts of the company’s fleet are produced. The Danish company has already undertaken energy optimisations at Boeing facilities in St Louis and Everett near Seattle, with energy audits and pump replacements.
Boeing has also signed a similar agreement with Danish fluid control equipment manufacturer Danfoss. “Boeing has a long-term, enduring commitment to protecting the environment. That includes collaborating with compa-

SPP Pumps has won a contract to supply a Pump as Turbine (PaT) system for Sha Tin Water Treatment Works (WtW) in Hong Kong to generate hydroelectricity.

SPP’s PaT solution uses the potential energy contained in the water entering the works, which runs from the supply reservoir to the head of the Sha Tin works. By harnessing the flow and pressure entering the works, via the PaT system, the resulting electricity generated can be used to supplement Sha Tin's power requirements.
Stuart Wallis, a sales manager for SPP Pumps’ Water division, said utility companies are waking up to the advantages that micro hydroenergy solutions can offer. “Anyone can run water backwards through a pump, that’s technology which has been around for a long, long time, but through our partnership with Ham Baker we have developed a sophisticated control which maximises power output over varying flows and pressures. With this complete packaged solution we are giving companies the opportunity to produce their own power on a micro level and become sustainable without a huge capital outlay,” said Wallis. www.spppumps.com
