Hydraulic analysis and system testing from Samatrix: optimise your pump performance
At Samatrix, our specialist hydraulic analysis and testing service gives you the clear, data based insights that you need to optimise your pumping operation. If your pumping system is using more energy than expected, for instance, or you are struggling to identify the root cause of recurring faults or inefficiencies, we can diagnose the underlying issue and provide actionable recommendations to reduce costs and improve reliability.
Data Driven Hydraulic Analysis: The Benefits And Why You Need Them
Correctly diagnosing issues within a complex hydraulic system is a significant challenge, which is why many systems waste energy and are subject to premature wear and component failure. Understanding how your system truly performs is, therefore, the first step towards improvement. Our expert analysis provides benefits for all stakeholders involved in your system, including operators, contractors, consultants.
Identify system and pump issues: our detailed testing process gives you real-time information to pinpoint the root cause of problems, from blockages and inefficiencies within the pipework to incorrect pump duty points.
Improve energy efficiency: inefficient pumps are a major source of high energy bills. By identifying underperforming assets, we can help you implement targeted upgrades to reduce energy consumption and lower your operational expenditure.
Smart asset replacement cycles: accurate performance data is essential for making informed decisions about when to upgrade or replace your pump infrastructure. Our analysis helps you to justify capital investment and select the right equipment for the job.
Forward flow data: our service provides essential data for real-time forward flow rates, helping utilities businesses and their contractors meet regulatory and operational standards.
How We Support You: Hydraulic Analysis Service
Our team provides a comprehensive, on-site hydraulic analysis service to give you a complete snapshot of your system’s health and performance, with minimal disruption to your normal operation.
Step One: System testing: during the survey, our engineers will test the system in its real-world operational environment, measuring flow rate, pressure, energy consumption and other metrics to identify pump duty points and assess the overall system efficiency. This acquires the data needed for effective troubleshooting and optimisation.
Step Two: Pump performance and efficiency evaluation: Assessing the performance of individual pumps against industry benchmarks and manufacturer specifications for the expected duty points. This analysis will reveal any inefficiencies and also highlight potential energy savings, laying the groundwork for a targeted maintenance or replacement strategy.
Step Three: Proof testing and upgrades: with the survey results, the user is able to make informed decisions about any upgrades or repairs needed to boost output and results throughout the system. Samatrix will help you implement these changes in a way that respects your operational commitments. Following the upgrades or repairs, our proof testing service will verify that the system is performing as designed.
Your Questions Answered
It is natural to have questions about a specialist technical service such as hydraulic analysis. Here are a few answers to some common queries:
-
Yes, all our testing is conducted in person at your site, using our specialised equipment on your pumping assets in real-time. This ensures that the data reflects the day-to-day operational performance of your system.
-
We always strive to minimise any disruption to yourself, your staff, and your customers, and the process can be planned around your operational schedule. In many cases, testing does not interrupt the normal function of our customers’ plant.
-
Generally, no detrimental permanent modifications are required. Our equipment is designed to connect to your system temporarily for the duration of the test. We can discuss any specific requirements with you beforehand.
-
Yes, our testing is flexible and can be configured to assess performance across most pump run scenarios, giving you a 360° view of your system’s capabilities.
Is Hydraulic Analysis Right For You?
According to the traditional, reactive approach to maintenance, operators only need to investigate performance when a major fault occurs. However, proactive analysis can help prevent costly failures and reduce your ongoing overheads. If you are a consultant designing a system upgrade for a client, a contractor verifying installation, or an asset/facilities manager looking to reduce energy costs, a hydraulic service gives you the data you need to succeed.
