Manual inspections, poor visibility, and outdated wired systems can lead to missed issues, wasted energy, and unnecessary equipment damage. One utility in California faced these exact challenges across its cooling towers, turbines, and remote assets.

In this case study, discover how Emerson wireless transmitters helped the plant:

  • Improve cooling tower throughput and thermal efficiency.
  • Reduce turbine megawatt use and extend fan motor life.
  • Cut turbine preventative maintenance by 50 percent.
  • Improve control performance in a severe service application
  • Save over $18,000 on motor replacements by optimizing cooling tower operations.
  • Eliminate unnecessary site visits with remote monitoring.

If your plant still relies on limited or outdated monitoring, you could be losing more than just efficiency.

‘’Wireless provided a cost-effective solution to bring new pressure, temperature, and DP readings online, enabling us to improve cooling tower performance and turbine efficiency.”
