Why Power Efficiency Matters in Chemical Injection
When it comes to chemical injection in the field, energy use is more than just a line item on your bill. It affects the longevity of your equipment, the reliability of your site, and the sustainability of your operations. That’s why power efficiency isn’t just about cost savings; it’s about building smarter, more resilient systems.
Peak Demand vs. Real Demand
Most power companies charge based on peak demand, which is the highest amount of power you draw in a given month. Even if your system only spikes once, you pay that peak rate for the whole month. For field operations, this means a single surge can drive up costs across every day that follows.
The Role of Soft Start
Traditional motors create an inrush of power every time they start up. This inrush not only increases your peak demand, but it also places stress on your batteries and reduces their lifespan. If your pump cycles on and off throughout the day, that stress adds up quickly and leads to higher replacement costs and more downtime.
Our approach is different. We use a soft start feature that ramps power up smoothly instead of creating a damaging surge. That means no sudden spikes in energy use, less strain on batteries and internal components, and more consistent, predictable energy draw.
Steady State Efficiency
Once running, our pumps use a fraction of the steady-state power compared to others on the market. This lower draw translates into real-world benefits such as extended battery life, more days of autonomy in low-sun conditions, and smaller solar arrays with fewer batteries required, which reduces upfront install costs.
Doing More with Less
With up to four injection heads, one pump can replace multiple competitor pumps. That means lower energy use than even a single competing pump, and greater injection capacity without the doubled costs of added equipment.
Why It Matters for You
Whether you’re running fully on solar or relying on traditional power sources, energy efficiency pays off. It means fewer unexpected costs, less maintenance, and a system designed to last. It’s not just about saving money on your monthly bill; it’s about protecting your infrastructure and maximizing the reliability of your operations.
