Telemetry & Control for Drinking Water Systems
Remote monitoring and control of drinking water supply networks: pressure, pumping, valves, and energy consumption.
Field-installed control unit (well site): SCE hardware for telemetry and remote control of pumping equipment.
The Challenge
Drinking water utilities face these challenges:
- Real-time knowledge of the variables that determine the state of the supply system.
- Fast, efficient control of pumping equipment.
- Knowledge of energy consumption.
- Logging pumping equipment operating hours.
- Remote control of distribution network valves.
The Solution
Specialized electronic equipment is installed at every point of the supply network to be monitored and/or controlled, integrated into a radio, cellular, or satellite communication network. An application processes all incoming data and presents it to an operator to support the right decisions:
- Real-time knowledge of pressures, flow rates, equipment status, valve opening percentage, energy consumption, and power supply faults.
- Daily water consumption information by neighborhood, zone, unit, or aqueduct.
- Amount of water produced.
- Compliance with supply schedules.
- Water-to-energy consumption ratio per well.
- Historical data storage.
- Instant awareness of equipment faults on the network.
- Immediate alarm detection.
Benefits
- Increased operating efficiency.
- Simplified water supply system management.
- Reduced operating staff required.
- Extended service life of pumping equipment.
- Access to historical statistics.
- Detection of inefficient wells.
- Improved service to the population.
