Water is the world’s most uncelebrated Miracle…

As human population is growing exponentially, their demand for increased consumption of this natural resource is being put under strain. We look for most efficient technologies for the extraction, supply and distribution of water. Water is used for a variety of day to day needs for Agriculture, Irrigation, and Water Supply to remote Villages and to Urban Cities. Industry needs are met with this precious resource for its production & to improve the quality of its products. Waste water & Sewage water is to be safely treated and disposed without polluting rivers and seas. Water plays a vital role in the Development of Construction and Infrastructure requirements of any Nation and thus its overall economic growth.

Strategic Alliance
With all of the above in mind and the fact that Pakistan is Agriculture based country, Group Chairman, Mr. Akram Sultan, decided to address these needs by forming an alliance based on Local Manufacturing, Assembly, Sales & Distribution with Grundfos. Grundfos choice of materials, in Stainless Steel, with constantly improving pump efficiencies and lower electricity consumption were at the time of alliance decision and still today are the vital factors in forging this alliance.

Establishment
HMA was established in 1984 as a Pump Sales & marketing company. Like every other beginner we too had a humble beginning. Weighing every opportunity, making the best of whatever came to our way. But we had a dream that was big, restless urge to grow and a determination that was as strong as steel. We wanted to be recognized as one of the most respected names in the manufacture of stainless steel pumps. And so we did it.
In 1988 we started manufacturing and today we are the leading pump manufacturer of Pakistan and one of the few Pakistani Companies catering to the International market. Today, our brand HMA-Grundfos is a force to reckon with. Owing our success to a strong product line and technology that's at par with the International quality standards, HMA Pumps (Private) Limited has carved a niche among quality conscious users.

Research and Development
In order to maintain a leading position, Grundfos attaches great importance to research and development. In 2006 the Group invested USD119m in the area to strengthen its position as the Leading Professional Pump Supply Company in the World. The philosophy and values of Grundfos of Being responsible is our foundation> Thinking ahead makes it possible> Innovation is the essence are shared and implemented by all its partners and 14,000 employees all over the world. 
At Grundfos Business Development Centre (BDC) there is constant focus on expanding the company’s existing business areas and improving the products, in order to become even more energy efficient. Besides the existing business areas which BDC deals with, Grundfos New Business develops new business areas which all deal with sustainable processes and technologies.
All these achievements are a result of dynamic, goal-oriented investments in research and development. At the Grundfos Technology Centre, inaugurated in 1990, research into new materials and production processes is carried out. In 1993, the Grundfos Innovation Centre was added to the Technology Centre. Here, development and construction are unified under one roof - and connected to advanced testing facilities. At Grundfos Electronics state-of-the-art techniques are used to develop and manufacture electronic control systems for our pumps.

Life Cycle Cost, an Overlooked Opportunity by Buyers

Life Cycle Cost (LCC) analysis is a management tool that can help companies to minimize waste and maximize energy efficiency for many types of systems, including pumping systems. Pumping systems account for nearly 20% of the world’s electrical energy demand and range from 25-50% of the energy usage in certain industrial operations. Although pumps are typically purchased as individual components, they provide a service only when operating as part of a system. The energy and materials used by a system depends on the design of the pump, the design of the Installation, and the way the system is operated. These factors are interdependent. The initial purchase price is a small part of the life cycle cost for high usage pumps. While operating requirements may sometimes override energy cost considerations, an optimum solution is still possible. A greater understanding of all the components that make up the total cost of ownership will provide an opportunity to dramatically reduce energy, operational, and maintenance costs. Reducing energy consumption and waste also has important environmental benefits.

What is Life Cycle Cost (LCC)?

The life cycle cost (LCC) of any equipment is the total “lifetime” cost to purchase, install, operate, maintain, and dispose of that equipment. LCC involves following methodology to identify and quantify all of the components of the LCC equation. When used as a comparison tool between possible design or overhaul alternatives, the LCC process will show the most cost-effective solution within the limits of the available data. The components of a life cycle cost analysis typically include initial costs, installation and commissioning costs, energy costs, operation costs, maintenance and repair costs, down time costs, environmental costs, and decommissioning & disposal costs.

Why Organizations should consider Life Cycle Costs?

Many organizations only consider the initial purchase and installation cost of a system. It is in the fundamental interest of the designer or manager to evaluate the LCC of different solutions before installing major new equipment or carrying out a major overhaul. This evaluation will identify the most financially attractive alternative. As national and global markets continue to become more competitive, organizations must continually seek cost savings that will improve the profitability of their operations. Industrial equipment operations are receiving particular attention as a source of cost savings, especially minimizing energy consumption and plant downtime. Existing systems provide a greater opportunity for savings through the use of LCC methods than do new systems for two reasons. First, there are at least 20 times as many pump systems in the installed base as are built each year; and, second, many of the existing systems have pumps or controls that are not optimized since the pumping tasks change over time.
