Although pumps are typically purchased as individual items, they provide service only when operating as part of a system. Procurement costs of the pumps in general amount to less than 1% of the total investment of a plant, yet the operational quality of a pump may be the decisive factor in the overall running costs. According to the Hydraulic Institute:
- 5% of industrial energy goes to pumps
- Pumping systems account for nearly 20% of the world's electrical energy demand and range from 20% to 25% of the energy usage in certain industrial plant operations
- Energy consumption is 90% of the total cost of owning a pump
- It is important to note that an efficient system design is established more by those concerned with system design, installation, balance and operation than by the pump engineer.
