wwtonline.co.uk | AUGUST 2018 WET NEWS 15 predictions are then translated into the total outflow from each reservoir, and the soware determines the setpoint for the inflow into the reservoir, aiming to keep it as constant as possi- ble to maximise drinking water quality. Royal HaskoningDHV says OPIR can reduce water loss by 20 per cent, energy consump- tion by 15 per cent and pipe bursts by up to 50 per cent as well as improving water quality and extending asset life by up to five years. The company's BURST sys- tem, meanwhile, offers an addi- tional means of combating leak- age. BURST Alert uses real-time data against modelled predic- tions to detect leaks, while BURST Find uses machine learning from pressure and flow data to provide the location. OPIR is already well estab- lished – over 12 million people in the world drink water con- trolled by the soware – and 80 per cent of the Dutch water sup- ply uses Aquasuite. Trimble NRW solution (Trimble) California-based Trimble has launched an Internet of Things (IoT) and smart water monitor- ing solution for reducing leak- age and non-revenue water (NRW) loss in drinking water systems. The system comprises the Telog 32 Advanced Series of 4G LTE wireless water monitoring devices and Trimble Wireless Leak Detection, while it expects to release the Trimble Unity NRW soware application in the third quarter of 2018. The solu- tions are modular and when combined are designed to offer a comprehensive NRW solution. The Telog 32 Advanced Series provides battery-powered smart water IoT data recorders for a number of real-time, remote applications including pressure monitoring, pressure transient analysis, water level monitoring and rainfall intensity measure- ment. It offers several advan- tages over the original Telog 32 series, introduced in 2010, such as 4G LTE wireless capability, Trimble's solution uses the Internet of Things (IoT) faster impulse monitoring, Bluetooth connectivity, replace- able modem and improved bat- tery life. Trimble Wireless Leak Detec- tion uses cellular-based leak detection sensors and cloud data processing soware to detect and locate leaks through continuous monitoring, as well as assessing severity. Users can also locate leaks in the field using mobile sensors and smartphones. The Trimble Unity NRW so- ware application, built on the latest version of the Trimble Unity smart water cloud and mobile soware platform, will make use of the IoT data col- lected and help utilities to man- age NRW through proactive leak detection, pressure monitoring, field service and reporting. Amplus (Aquam) Aquam's Amplus is a new remote operated vehicle (ROV) for use in pressurised water, wastewater, and industrial pipe applications, providing users with diagnostics and data ana- lytics that can identify struc- tural weaknesses in pipes, ena- bling scheduling of works to prevent leaks and bursts. The ROV offers information on remaining pipeline lifespan, utilising both forward and reversing high definition cam- eras, ultrasonic scanners and acoustic hydrophone sensors for collecting and transmitting comprehensive and high-reso- lution analysis of pipelines in real-time. Amplus can be deployed through access points as small as 100mm and can crawl through pipelines regard- less of flow or pressure. "Data-driven information is the future of infrastructure management and the key to pre- venting mainline bursts," Aquam's chief technology officer Cameron Manners said. "With a minimal incision, we're able to obtain real-time data on leaks, flow, blockage, corrosion, and pipe thickness – critical information to developing and executing a cost-effective reha- bilitation plan." Amplus is made by Aquam Drinking Water Analysis safe and simplified. Want to know more?

This saves space, time and money – during installation, operation and maintenance. The online analysis system can be modularly tted with miniaturized analysis cubes – during operations with hot swap functionality. Each cube registers itself in the system and transmits reliable measurement data even with minimal sample water ow. Online Analysis System Type 8905: One screen, one great overview, all important parameters. It doesn't get any better.
