Atlanta to Save $29,000 Annually with Vertical Engine
Experts say replacing centrifugal pumps with a vertical triple expansion engine at Atlanta’s pumping station could cut coal use by about 629,000 a year. With a 91,000 investment, annual coal savings would net at least 26,000, paying the cost in under four years. Will J. Sando, former Boston and New York pumping official, argues the vertical engine offers flexibility and lower operating costs versus turbine-driven centrifugal pumps.
