Substantial Savings and Energy Efficiency through Lighting System Redesign at Sulzer Pumps

This case study looks at how Energy Oasis partnered with Sulzer Pumps to redesign their lighting system, resulting in substantial savings and enhanced efficiency.

 

Sulzer Pumps, a global leader in pump manufacturing with over 180 sites worldwide, recognised the need to reduce energy consumption and maintenance costs associated with their outdated lighting system at their Leeds site. In 2017, they embarked on a project to replace their existing light fittings with LED products.

Project Background

 

Energy Oasis collaborated closely with Sulzer Pumps' management team to develop a comprehensive plan for the phased installation of LED lighting over a two-year period. The project began with a successful trial area, leading to the completion of multiple areas within the Leeds site.

Our Approach

 

Working with the management team, Energy Oasis proposed a phased installation over a 2-year period. We started with a trial area. This was a great success and subsequently, we have completed a number of other areas in the Leeds site.

Our Innovative Solution

 

By implementing LED lighting solutions, Sulzer Pumps achieved remarkable results:

  • Over 50% reduction in lighting energy consumption, resulting in annual savings of over 380,000 kWh.

  • Significantly reduced energy bills and maintenance costs, amounting to over £91,000 per year.

  • An impressive annual carbon dioxide emission reduction of 99.8 tonnes.

  • Utilisation of Enhanced Capital Allowance (ECA), resulting in an additional 20% savings.

  • Expected payback on the project in just 1.8 years, showcasing the financial benefits and return on investment.

  • A more sustainable and environmentally friendly lighting solution, reflecting Sulzer Pumps' commitment to sustainability.

  • Upgraded one of the Sulzer Bays with intelligent LED lighting, resulting in a significant lux level increase from an average of 320 to 650. In the inspection area, lux levels were elevated to 1200 for optimal visibility and conditions.

  • Enhanced lighting quality and illumination, improving the overall working environment for employees.

Client Testimonial

“As part of our drive to improve our environmental performance and reduce our energy costs, we employed the services of Energy Oasis to design and install the latest energy-efficient shop floor lighting solution. Throughout the process, from the design, to the installation, to the commissioning of the lights, I was thoroughly impressed by the knowledge and professionalism of the staff and the quality of the lighting design and the light fittings themselves. I’m looking forward to working with the team on other energy efficiency projects and would thoroughly recommend engaging with Energy Oasis Ltd.”
