HISTORY
In 1992 CCJ introduced the Fluiglide system in Japan and soon this
system was adopted as mean for energy saving in the industry. In 2004 a
Chemical plant requested a pump performance test to know the pumping
operating conditions of a "CWP" that was in continuos operation for 14
years. The graph plots the results of the pump performance test carried
out by Corrocoat Japan before and after Fluiglide coating using the
thermodynamic method for pump testing versus the pump manufacturer
test.

The pump performance test before coating shows the following results in
comparison with the pumps manufacturer test at design duty point:

Pump Head: Decrease 6.53%

Power kW: Increment 12.52%
Pump efficiency: Decrease 17.03%

After the fluiglide coating, the pump performance test (green curves) at
same duty point shows the following results:

Pump head: Increase 9.78%

Power kW: Reduce 9.53%
Pump eff: Increase 21.79%

The total energy savings in one year presented an annual savings of 2.7
million JPY and the payback period in one year and four months.
