"switching pumps on and off can cut energy costs by reducing turbulence in pipes... long cycles characterized by a short, intense pump that quickly accelerated the fluid flow, and then a long phase where the pump was switched off and the fluid slowed down, worked best for keeping the fluid in a laminar-like state for the longest amount of time... reduced energy costs by up to 22%... transport of fuels"
