Kirloskar Brothers has launched a Web site to extend energy audit services for pumps and motors.

The company said the Web site will help to reach out to a large number of pump users, who can achieve savings of up to 30 per cent on their electricity bills after implementing its recommendations.

In the last two years, several clients have benefited with savings of about 11 million units of electricity amounting to Rs 4 crore on implementing its recommendations.

Pump users such as process and manufacturing industries, hotels, hospitals, steel plants, irrigation schemes/ departments and municipal water supply schemes can avail themselves of the energy audit service.

To obtain the service, pump user need to fill a form on the Web site asking for the audit.

A KBL energy audit team will visit the location and conduct sample energy audit for one pump, study actual power consumption of the running pump with respect to ‘duty conditions' under various performance parameters.

The team will submit a commercial proposal for a detailed audit, indicating the estimated energy savings potential.

After a detailed audit is conducted, the team will recommend the measures to be implemented to improve overall efficiency and achieve energy savings.

Mr Jayant Sapre, Director, KBL, who launched the Web site, said, “KBL has an extensive experience of managing pumping solutions with maximum energy efficiency and low lifecycle cost. Our focus is to optimise efficiency while maintaining reliability and durability as well as meet customers' requirements. I am confident that industries will come forward to avail themselves of this facility which will help them to be more energy efficient.”
