Description of the categories

Increasing energy efficiency

  • You invested in Wilo product solutions that have a particularly high degree of energy efficiency, thereby reducing your energy costs.
  • You operate pumps with frequency converters and thereby reduce your energy consumption.
  • You use innovative coatings in the pumps to increase efficiency (Ceram).
  • You modernised your pumps and systems with digital solutions in order to control the pressure in the distribution network in line with demand or monitor the pumps for wear and efficiency losses.

Enhancing operational reliability

  • You implemented digital control options to optimise pump system operation and thus increase service life.
  • You implemented flood protection projects to ensure that sewage does not pollute the environment in the event of sewer flooding.
  • You use solutions with coatings such as Ceram, significantly increasing the service life of the pumps.
  • You use early-warning systems to act more quickly in the event of faults and avoid any consequential damage.
  • You take advantage of our Wilo Service to further improve operational reliability.

Exceeding environmental requirements

  • You invested in renewable energies to operate your systems (for example in solar panels, wind turbines or biogas).
  • You selected energy-efficient Wilo products to reduce your energy consumption in the long-term.
  • You were able to demonstrably reduce CO2 emissions through appropriate system solutions.
  • You reduced leakages to prevent water loss.
  • You use a process to remove micropollutants for advanced sewage treatment.
