Grundfos, a leading international player in advanced pump solutions has announced it will embark on a drive for waste management and recycling its pumps. The drive aims to transform waste into reusable energy and high quality recyclable materials, “and is aligned with the Middle East’s current hot topic of waste management and recycling”. “We will be working with companies specialised in waste management in order to assess the savings potential of replacing some obsolete pumps with new high efficiency options,” commented Henning Sandager, Grundfos Area Managing Director, Middle East and Turkey. “Optimising pumps makes sense not just for the environment but also financially, and replacing pump systems can make immediate differences, and returns on investments will be reached in a short time span that doesn’t exceed two years, after which the new systems will result in pure savings.” Grundfos offers a pump inspection service and an energy check report detailing current pump installation and potential savings. Energy costs can be improved by 50 percent, and CO2 emissions can be reduced by 30 percent, along with achieving significant reduction over pump maintenance and repair costs, as per the company. “With the strengths that we enjoy in sustainability and energy saving, and now in waste management and pumps recycling, we will be able to play a bigger role in ensuring the achievement of development and progress, while working at the same time to preserve our planet’s precious resources. Simultaneously, we will be assisting the Middle East and the GCC countries in adopting approaches that aim to create a sustainable future for coming generations,” Sandager said.
