4.0-Water loss reduction
Small, gradual losses are often important indicators of impending major leaks or even burst pipes.
A good overview is crucial for minimizing losses and planning measures. For faster and more targeted leak detection, a zone-specific water loss analysis and the associated division into manageable supply zones is absolutely essential. With the understanding gained based on the basic determination for your network and our many years of experience in zone analysis, we measure and calculate new optimized supply zones for you. To do this, we place sensors and measuring shafts in your network, can offer various data acquisition and communication technologies as well as intelligent software and create the basis for evaluation. Connected to our control system, you have a good overview at all times, just like the speedometer in a car. In many areas, it is possible to take advantage of subsidies. We are also happy to help you find the right funding program. We will be happy to provide you with a practical example or draw up an initial feasibility study.
4.0 management through IntelliNet-Water
IntelliNet-Water allows you to make maximum use of your system's performance and storage capacities!
Water storage in the elevated tanks is dependent on the water supply and the consumption behavior of the customers. The storage volumes of the elevated tanks are optimally adjusted using sensor technology, data evaluation and forecasts from the area of extraction combined with the operating parameters and consumption behaviour.
Demand and forecast-led operations lead to greater security as a result.
We offer you our service to determine the potential and generate security through optimization proposals. The IntelliNet-Water control system connects the SmartMeter (the sensor technology) with the CheckPoint (the measuring shaft) with the telematics (telecontrol technology). With this highly intelligent system, action measures are suggested to you or carried out automatically according to your specifications.
4.0 reporting
With SCADA and the expansion package for maintenance and servicing, you get a clear overview that is tailored to your needs. Water authority approvals are immediately available at the touch of a button!
To ensure that the necessary automated water balances for water law approvals reports are available quickly and at the touch of a button, an understanding of the respective country-specific requirements as well as the prepared remote monitoring system, measurement technology and process knowledge is fundamental.
All necessary reports for water law approvals are included in the SCADA and KANiO industry package. This is supplemented with zone-specific water loss reports and the energy efficiency report. The action plan can be integrated and quickly called up and processed by all important/responsible persons in the event of an emergency and also during the preventive check. Potential for improvement in asset management can be seen in the pipe burst database, for example.
4.0 ENERGY SUPPLY!
Reduce your energy costs, increase availability and take advantage of subsidies.
Our templates for the overview of the facilities and equipment of your water supply and our automated reports already provide tables for energy data collection, for key energy figures, data of all energy consumers in the areas of extraction, treatment, conveyance, storage and distribution/consumption zones. We use this data to create the potential and consumption analysis together with you. The existing sensors and any necessary extensions are processed by integration into the SCADA.web software and analyzed, documented and evaluated for optimizations using prepared calculations. These results can be used to implement optimizations and dynamic controls.
The functional SAFETY of the water supply has the highest priority! This means that even if the power supply fails, the continued operation of the system is of great importance. Fuel-powered emergency power generators are therefore used in many supply systems. Solutions that can be used not only for emergency operation, but also for regular operation, are particularly important when energy prices are rising sharply.
The photovoltaic-powered energy storage solutions that we have used several times supply the remote transmission and control system permanently for many days in emergency mode. The energy consumption of the gensets and the processing is reduced to a minimum and can therefore maintain the supply for hours and days. In normal operation, the photovoltaic energy is used to reduce the energy consumption from the grid to a minimum and to increase the self-supply.
As the load peaks are greatly reduced, the grid feed-in and the sub-distribution can also be designed with minimized values.
The power control is carried out in conjunction with the process control system so that the most efficient result can be achieved at all times.
The basis for designing the generator, such as the photovoltaic system and the energy storage system, is the process engineering expertise with which we are happy to support you. Optimum availability in an emergency or energy-saving operation without load peaks in regular operation is only possible with coordinated systems that are regulated in the control technology. We provide you with all-round support – from basic evaluation and planning support to integration and optimization during operation.
We are also happy to help you find the right funding program.
