ADF Power Quality Case Studies

This section gives examples of applications and industries where ADF mitigates production disturbances, improves environmental performance and saves energy.

Packaging Industry - 10.2% Energy Savings

Tetra Pak reduced energy consumption of one of their packaging material machines with 10.2% by installing ADF. Also, the machine availability was improved as previously wasted transformer capacity was released to create power supply redundancy. Find out more how the improved environmental performance and the prominent savings have made ADF Tetra Pak best practice.

Automotive Industry - 5.3% Cost Reduction

Volvo Cars implemented ADF technology in a press line application to address rising production and energy costs. ADF was the only suitable solution as conventional methods were unable to compensate the highly dynamic reactive power consumption. The project resulted in reduced energy costs of 5.3%, increased equipment life, and reduced maintenance costs.

Mining - 8.5% Increased Production

LKAB increased production capacity by 8.5% in a concentrating application by installing ADF. The suppression of the severe harmonic currents resulted in 4% lower energy consumption. Learn more about this and how the number of production disturbances was limited in the case study.

Water treatment - 30% Increased Output

GRYAAB's water treatment plant in Gothenburg is one of the largest in all of Scandinavia. By installing two ADF systems to suppress harmonic currents and optimize the electrical behavior of 17 variable-speed pumps, GRYAAB increased the maximum output capacity of these systems by 30%. The case study gives you the full picture.
