Water treatment is any process that improves water quality to make it appropriate for a specific end use. End uses include drinking, industrial water supply, irrigation, river flow maintenance, water recreation and others, including safely returning the water to the environment. Wastewater treatment (or sewage treatment) is the removal of impurities from wastewater (or sewage) before it reaches natural bodies of water (such as rivers, lakes, estuaries or oceans). In order to meet water specifications, utilities and OEMs can specify a motor for any pump (or compressor or fan application) used in the water and wastewater sector. Applications powered by electric motors are found at every stage of water treatment. Another energy-saving factor coming into common use is variable frequency drives. Any motor used in water treatment must deliver high-class performance.
While energy efficiency is the key buzzword, other factors such as safety, reliability, sustainability, close adaptation of the solution as well as after-sales support are considered key to end users.
