If you're responsible for running a high-performing facility, meeting environmental goals has likely become just as important as keeping operations efficient and reliable. From energy reduction targets to waste management policies, sustainability is now a key part of day-to-day decision-making—especially when it comes to equipment that touches critical processes.
Choosing the right pump technology is one of those decisions. Whether you're transferring chemicals, handling abrasive slurries, or supporting continuous production, your pumping system plays a direct role in how safely and sustainably your plant operates.
Cognito’s electrically operated double diaphragm (EODD) pumps
were built with this reality in mind. They combine rugged construction and reliable performance with advanced features that help reduce energy use, prevent leaks, lower maintenance waste, and support smart, data-driven operations.
This results in high-efficiency fluid handling that helps you hit your environmental goals without giving up the strength and durability your applications demand.
Compressed air systems are one of the biggest energy drains in industrial operations. Many legacy pumps run continuously—even when they’re not needed—resulting in unnecessary power usage. Cognito EODD pumps are different. They run on electricity and offer much more control.
Key advantages include:
This energy efficiency doesn’t just help reduce your carbon footprint. It also cuts operating costs and supports long-term sustainability plans. One global automotive customer reduced energy use by over 70% after switching to Cognito. Read the case study here.
Cognito pumps are sealless by design; therefore, they eliminate that failure point and prevent many of these issues before they happen. Learn more about how Cognito’s sealless design protects high-risk operations.
Built-in benefits include:
This is particularly valuable in industries where leak compliance is monitored closely. In chemicals, coatings, and paints applications, abrasive fluids often destroy seals quickly. Cognito’s design helps avoid those incidents entirely.
Frequent servicing doesn’t just impact uptime, but it also creates unnecessary waste. Cognito’s pumps are engineered for longer intervals between service, with durable parts that hold up under harsh conditions.
Reasons why maintenance needs are lower:
These features translate into fewer service calls and less packaging, fluid, and part disposal. For facilities trying to cut back on waste while keeping production moving, this approach supports both objectives.
The biggest sustainability gains often come from better visibility: knowing how your equipment performs and acting before problems waste energy or resources. Cognito’s IoT-Enabled Platform helps operations teams remotely track pump performance and make proactive decisions that prevent downtime and waste.
Key digital capabilities include:
SmartInsights™ gives your team early insight into potential failures so you can respond before a spill, breakdown, or efficiency loss occurs. This kind of digital visibility reduces the need for onsite diagnostics, lowering travel-related emissions and improving overall process control.
Cognito products are designed to last longer and work harder in extreme environments, which naturally reduces their environmental impact over time. But sustainability starts long before the pump arrives onsite.
Design and lifecycle details include:
Materials sourcing and product development also reflect IDEX's global standards for safety and environmental stewardship. While pump manufacturing inevitably consumes resources, Cognito’s longer product life and lower replacement rate contribute to a reduced total lifecycle impact.
Cognito pumps prove that industrial performance and environmental responsibility don’t have to be in conflict. Each product is built for durability, designed for intelligence, and developed with the end user’s sustainability goals in mind.
Customers in industries like:
...are already using Cognito to lower their energy consumption, reduce leak incidents, and improve overall efficiency in their fluid handling operations.
Cognito is committed to helping your team operate with confidence—while meeting your environmental and performance goals. Whether you’re aiming for lower utility costs, compliance with ESG targets, or a safer workplace, Cognito EODD pumps are a proven solution.
