Technologies

The following technologies are covered in this research service:

- Intelligent Pump System (IPS): An intelligent pump system has built-in process controllers and pump diagnostic devices to monitor its operating characteristics and prevent pump errors. The capability to adjust pump characteristics and operate them at optimal conditions makes it intelligent.
- Centrifugal Pump: The centrifugal pump consists of a stationary pump casing and an impeller mounted on a rotating shaft. The pump casing provides a pressure boundary for the pump and contains channels to properly direct the suction and the discharge flow. Centrifugal pumps are classified in the manner in which the liquid flows through the pumps as: radial flow pumps, axial flow pumps and mixed flow pumps
- Positive Displacement Pump (PDP): The positive displacement pump is one which pumps out a definite volume of liquid in each cycle. The volume is constant regardless of the resistance to the flow offered by the system. This pump differs from centrifugal pumps, which deliver continuous flow for any given pump and discharge resistance.
- Feedback Devices/Diagnostic Devices: The software coupled with sensors such as pressure, temperature and other sensors that help to monitor the entire process and avoid pump problems.
- Controllers: Electronic controllers can be used to automate sequence of events once the controls are triggered by any of the connected input devices. Events could all be automated simultaneously or individually depending on the controller's response to the trigger. Types of equipment that could be automated by controllers could include pump rotation, triggering light indicators during malfunction of pumps and its process that can be programmed to activate based on an electronic signal.

Market Overview

Intelligent Pump Systems Set to Drive Mature Pump Industry
While the European pump industry is currently experiencing saturation, intelligent pump systems are witnessing strong growth and are emerging as the major motivating force for the industry’s future growth. Revenues for these systems increased significantly from $45.8 million in 2002 to $68.5 million in 2005, indicating their rising demand and potential in a variety of end-user segments such as water and wastewater and building automation.
These and other end-user industries of pumps typically look for a complete package that offers them exceptional value in terms of product quality, customer service and support, delivery time, reliability, and price. Keeping in mind the increasing trend toward intelligent pumps, pump manufacturers need to re-examine their product offerings and make appropriate changes to ensure superior branding and achieve differentiation, as well as to sustain revenue growth. Failure to react to a mature market could result in companies being pushed out of the market, remarks the analyst of this research service. Going forward, technical advancements in pump features are likely to be a major driver for the European intelligent pump systems market.

Environmental and Energy Legislation Create Demand for Intelligent Pumps
Changing European Union (EU) legislation on energy and environmental issues, mainly in the water and wastewater markets and in building construction, are undoubtedly one of the biggest drivers of the intelligent pump systems market. The EU is implementing several directives to ensure that ambient, potable water and wastewater are meeting acceptable quality standards, as well as to improve energy performance in buildings considering indoor and outdoor conditions and cost-effectiveness. These new legislations are, therefore, creating increased demand for smart and advanced equipment that can meet such requirements.
The demand for intelligent pumps is also rising in other key end-user sectors such as food and beverages as well as power generation. In addition, many companies have invested in the design and development of intelligent pumps for specific niche sectors such as oil and gas, petrochemical, chemical, and pharmaceuticals. This is expected to further promote the growth of the market in the long term from 2009 to 2012, says the analyst. Revenues are expected to reach $230.3 million by 2012, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.9 percent during the period 2005-2012.
