ITT ProActivitySM Saves Millions in Energy, Maintenance and other Costs

Process plants with large populations of pumps can save millions of dollars in operation and maintenance costs using a suite of pump-optimization services announced today by ITT. ProActivity provides a three-phased approach to reduce the total cost of pump ownership. It brings together multiple ProActivity was created because maintenance and energy make up the majority of pump operating costs, 90% percent of the cost of ownership.
Phase One of ProActivity is a system-level survey. The review takes one or two days and includes a plant walk-through, data gathering, and interviews with key personnel. In Phase Two a team of ProActivity consultants conduct an in-depth assessment and analysis that takes up to three months. They use proprietary professional software to provide a comprehensive picture of the operation’s pump performance. Customers can use the assessment to make recommended changes on their own or receive additional implementation support from ITT. In Phase Three, an embedded specialist joins the organization’s team as an on-site pump reliability specialist, providing ongoing consultation, technical assistance, and execution support. The embedded specialist also provides a direct link to ITT experts – including energy performance services, machine health monitoring, training, remanufacture and repair, inventory management, and engineering and design solutions.

With the help of a ProActivity embedded specialist, one ITT customer realized savings of 43 percent, which translated to $1.3 million annually. Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) increased 108 %, from 15.4 months to 32.1 months.
