Why Energy Efficiency is So Important with Pump Operation—A World Environment Day Reminder

World Environment Day, observed each year on June 5th, is a global call to action for sustainability and environmental protection. It’s a timely reminder that every choice we make—large or small—impacts our planet. One of the most significant ways to support this mission is by focusing on energy efficiency in industrial operations and pump operational efficiency is a critical component.

Why Efficiency Matters

  1. Lower Operating Costs
    Pumps are major energy consumers, responsible for an estimated 10% of global electricity use. An inefficient pump can waste thousands of dollars in energy each year, while a high-efficiency pump minimizes this waste—saving money and cutting emissions.
  2. Reduced Environmental Impact
    More efficient pumps require less electricity to do the same job, which directly reduces greenhouse gas emissions from power generation. This directly supports World Environment Day’s focus on climate action and environmental stewardship.
  3. Longer Equipment Lifespan
    Operating pumps at high efficiency minimizes wear and tear. This not only saves money on maintenance and replacement but also reduces waste—another key aspect of environmental responsibility.

Cornell’s Commitment to Energy Efficiency

At Cornell, we’re proud to offer some of the most efficient centrifugal pumps in the industry. It is even in our tagline Efficient By Design. Many of our models reach 89% efficiency or higher—well above the industry average. That means you can move more water with less energy, directly contributing to lower carbon emissions and more sustainable operations.

Investing in energy-efficient pump solutions is a win-win: you cut costs, minimize environmental impact, and keep your systems running reliably. With Cornell’s highly efficient centrifugal pumps, you can be confident you’re getting top-tier performance and sustainability in one package.

The first Cornell agricultural pump was introduced in 1949. Today, we offer more than 110 models for agricultural applications!

Cornell’s story began in 1946 when five employees from Pacific Pump Company decided to start their own company. With a fully equipped service department and firsthand experience repairing pump failures—including issues with motor overloading, pressure spikes, and water damage in pump-end motor bearings—they were ready to build something better. Leveraging their comprehensive inventory and manufacturing expertise, they could service any pump.
