Lowest Life Cycle Cost for Pumping Systems

01/17/2011 12:20 AM

What exactly is the Lowest Life Cycle concept and how it is going to benefit me in context of Centrifugal Pumps & Pumping Systems?? What is the difference in basic design of a normal & LCC pump?

The concept of "Total LCC" relates to doing the sums not only considering the purchase and install costs, but also the ongoing costs of ownership of the pump for its intended life AND then the costs to appropriately remove the pump and remediate the site where the pump was.

This concept is used so that the impact of running costs is included in the consideration for pump selection.

The concept does not impact "good workmanship" and design process that should be used once the best LCC option pump is selected.

One method is to apply the Fan/Pump laws.Instead of using a large capacity centrifugal pump if you use many smaller units in parallel the power consumption will be less,easy to transport,maintain,repair and even if one breaks down others will operate.
