This study explores the optimization of energy consumption in water distribution systems, with a focus on purified water. Purified water is widely used in various industries like the pharmaceutical, food, dairy, brewing, and medical sectors where it serves numerous functions. The energy consumption of these systems, specifically related to distribution pumps and their operation, represents a significant cost factor. This thesis pivots around the calculation of the energy consumption in these systems, the execution of experiments for optimization of the operating parameters, and the resulting energy savings and economic effects. The adopted methodology involves both theoretical and analytical approaches supplemented by experimental data derived from an active purified water distribution system.
