REDUCE NETWORK LOSSES AND PROTECT YOUR ASSETS
Avoiding failures of critical high-risk assets is a constant challenge and one that impacts customer service as well as costing millions. Xylem Water Loss Management identifies leaks so your utility can make proactive repairs before they become bigger issues. When bursts occur, the system’s alert notification helps you localize the problem to avoid long-term service disruptions and community impact.
COMBINATION OF PRESSURE AND ACOUSTIC MONITORING
Combined pressure transient and hydrophone units suitable for critical distribution networks and trunk mains are installed on existing tapping points, such as air valves and fire hydrants.
MORE RAPID ALERTS ON CRITICAL EVENTS
Monitoring pressure data at millisecond sampling rates allows immediate detection and notification of pipe bursts, while hourly sampling of acoustic data provides quicker notification on existing or slow developing leaks that otherwise may run undetected for long periods of time.
24/7 CONTROL ROOM SUPPORT
Validate alerts and reduce false alerts to zero.
LET’S SEE HOW UNLOCKING POWERFUL INSIGHTS DELIVERS TRANSFORMATIVE OUTCOMES
As just one of the digital solutions in our new platform of disruptive technologies, Xylem Water Loss Management can detect leaks before they create more serious issues, allowing you to make proactive repairs and avoid unplanned service disruptions to customers.
- Reduce the number of high-impact failures by addressing leaks before they become bigger issues
- Reduce leakage and related non-revenue water (NRW)
- Improve customer service with fewer unplanned service disruptions
- Optimize operational costs and save CapEx by proactively managing assets
THE EYES AND EARS OF YOUR NETWORK
Using data collected by sensors across a pipe network, Xylem Water Loss Management identifies the pressure transients and/or acoustics that indicate a leak or break, allowing you to pinpoint the location and severity of the pipe so your repair crews can prioritize workload and response. When paired with Xylem Water Loss Management for surge detection, it is an even more powerful sensing and monitoring system that enables greater efficiency with faster reactions to potentially costly network events.
TAKE THE FIRST STEP TO BETTER ROI
As a simple, low-investment way to understand your economic opportunity, a Discovery Project is an ideal initial step to reducing network losses and protecting your high-risk assets. It allows us to work together to visualize your entire network, identify challenges and opportunities and begin creating a roadmap to transformational outcomes for your utility and community. Let's see how it works:
STEP 1
SCOPE
First, we conduct an initial discovery session to identify your current state, needs and objectives, as well as early identification of potential opportunities.
STEP 2
ANALYZE
Next, we’ll deploy 5-20 sensors covering 5-10 miles of critical pipe to conduct a controlled leak/burst experiment to validate detection and localization capabilities.
STEP 3
WORKSHOP
Finally, we collaborate with you in a workshop where we provide a summary presentation and discuss our analysis. The outcome is a prioritized set of recommendations and practical next steps to reduce failures, leakage and non-revenue water.
