Climate change, increasing water demands due to global urbanisation, and the legal obligations of the EU's Water Framework Directive are all making the water sector an attractive arena for technologies that can help reduce costs and contribute to reducing the effects of climate change. It is against this backdrop that the demand for intelligent process control equipment is surging throughout the water industry. Variable speed drive (VSD) manufacturers are in the vanguard of these developments. The functionality being demanded from VSDs is manifold and includes enhanced connectivity, reduced energy consumption, minimized downtime and features that intelligently react to, as well as prevent, real problems, preferably before they cause damage.
