ABB's solutions enhance energy efficiency, augment
productivity, improve asset performance, and reduce operational
costs of desalination plants.
DUBAI, UAE, Feb. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Frost &
Sullivan recently analyzed the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC)
electrification of desalination plants industry and, based on its
findings, recognizes ABB with the 2021 GCC Electrification of
Desalination Plants Company of the Year Award. The company augments
productivity, improves asset performance, and reduces operational
costs of desalination plants. It drives optimal utilization of
water resources and improves the desalination process's energy
efficiency and operational effectiveness, which maximizes cost
savings.
The company strives to address the sector's energy efficiency
and asset optimization needs by constantly developing and deploying
highly efficient products. The company's industry experts work
closely and continuously with engineering, procurement, and
construction (EPC) companies to design efficient, safe, and
reliable desalination projects. It also offers accurate energy
audit services and supports customers with relevant process
modifications to reduce their overall energy footprint. Some of
ABB's market-leading solutions for electrifying desalination plants
include:
- State-of-the-art Power distribution solutions used
to distribute electricity safely and effectively ensuring a
constant, reliable availability of power. Digital switchgear which
has low energy losses, lesser footprint and smart capability
enables 30% energy savings, 15% reduction in space & weight and
40% reduction in operating cost.
- Ultra-low harmonic (ULH) drives that reduce
harmonic content by 97% compared to conventional drives, which
exceed low harmonic standard requirements. The ULH drives prevent
losses in the mains supply, improve the mains quality, and mitigate
the risk of equipment disturbance. The universally certified and
highly efficient VSD motor packages enable process efficiencies and
reduce mechanical and electrical stress on pumps and aeration
equipment, significantly reducing O&M costs.
- Innovative high-speed bus transfer solutions that
eliminate losses associated with critical load disturbances. These
improve the efficiency and reliability of desalination plants.
Nideshna Varatharajan, Frost & Sullivan industry analyst,
stated, "ABB, a Switzerland-based
global technology leader, is at the forefront of facilitating the
ongoing digitalization revolution in the GCC's desalination market.
Its targeted digital solutions collect and analyze data from
desalination plant components to generate actionable insights and
facilitate predictive maintenance capabilities to support process
optimization and O&M cost reduction."
The ABB Ability Condition Monitoring tool which enables full
visibility and complete transparency on critical operational
parameters for assets, such as circuit breakers, contactors,
relays, drives, motors and mounted bearings. The solution collects
data from smart sensors and meters and stores it in premise or in
the cloud to track the condition and status of the equipment. ABB's
market-leading solutions also enable:
- Seamless communication and interoperability between all
intelligent electrical equipment in a desalination plant, ensuring
completed integrated operations
- A monitoring portal to offer a unified, real-time view of the
individual desalination plant assets' operational parameters
- Detailed dashboards that provide easy and ready access to the
collected data and corresponding insights, empowering designated
staff to conduct predictive maintenance activities
- Plant operators to reduce equipment downtime, extend asset
lifetime, improve plant safety, lower costs, and increase process
profitability
- Impressive customer outcomes, such as 20% to 30% savings on
energy bills, 30% to 40% reduction in O&M costs, and 10%
enhancement in asset life
- Exceptional price/performance value across all products and
services through reduced operating costs, up to 70% to 80% of the
total cost of ownership
ABB collects customer feedback to accurately capture changing
customer needs and evolving market demands. It offers technical
advice on dimensioning and purchasing equipment, such as medium
& low voltage switchgear, UPS, motors, VSDs, and bearings. It
also provides commissioning, installation, operation, and
maintenance support, including preventive maintenance programs
tailored to particular project needs to consistently deliver
exceptional customer value.
According to Varatharajan, "ABB leverages its diverse portfolio
of digitally-enabled and differentiated offerings, strong regional
presence, and extensive market expertise to address the specific
needs of its GCC desalination customers."
