Engineered Software CEO Recognized for Pump Guidebook
 LACEY,
WA, May 5, 2009 - Ray Hardee, P.E., CEO of Engineered Software, Inc., was
recognized by the Hydraulic Institute (HI) for his contributions as a key
member serving on the Hydraulic Institute/Pump Systems Matter “Optimizing
Pumping Systems Guidebook” (OPS) Committee, which led to publication of the
250+ page guide in 2008.
 Hardee
has contributed dozens of articles and papers to various magazines and standards
publications and has recently published his own book, “Piping System
Fundamentals.” His latest contributions to the new guide follow on his
companywide practice of promoting efficiency in all aspects of energy use.
Based on the collaborative efforts of twenty-two industry experts, the guide
explains how optimizing both existing and new pumping systems, and purchasing
based on lifecycle cost, can lead to increased profitability through a reduction
in unnecessary, expensive energy consumption and maintenance costs.
“Auditing and optimizing existing pumping systems can reduce plant energy
costs as much as 50%,” Hardee said. “The key is matching pumps properly to the
system’s requirements, and changes such as these, will typically improve
reliability and offer savings on MTBR (Mean Time between Repairs).”
The guide covers a range of topics including Pump Fundamentals, Pump and
System Interaction, Calculating Cost of Ownership, Improving the Performance of
Existing Pump Systems, Optimizing New Designs, Pumping System Economics, and
Opportunities to Improve Lifecycle Performance.
“This is an indispensable tool for anyone involved in the design,
engineering, and installation or servicing of pumping systems,” Hardee said.
“The guide has made a significant contribution to the understanding of the
subject matter among end-users and pump OEMs serving as the basis of new
educational curriculum being designed around this issue.”
