Water Supply Network Leakage Solution

The impact of pipeline leakage

1. To the economy:

Since the leaked water resources will not bring any revenue to the water company, the high leakage rate will also cause the water company to suffer huge economic losses.

2. To society:

The higher leakage rate will increase the water flow speed in the pipeline, resulting in the loss of water pressure and affecting the stable water consumption of residents.

3. To the environment:

Leakage will also waste a lot of water resources, which is inconsistent with the concept of sustainable development.

Therefore, reducing the leakage rate of the pipeline is of great significance for improving the utilization rate of urban water resources and achieving economic sustainability. 

Difficulties

For water companies, exploring effective leak detection methods is an important part of leak rate management. However, some traditional leak detection methods, such as the audio-audio method, sonic method, etc., rely on staff to visit, which is not only time-consuming but also has high labor cost, and the scope of the investigation is also very limited with little effect.

Micro Sensor Solution

At present, the most effective leakage monitoring method is DMA (District Metering Area). By remotely monitoring the flow and pressure nodes in each DMA, the abnormal water supply in the pipeline can be detected in time, and the leakage point can be found, which effectively reduces the leakage rate of the pipeline and the gap between production and sales.

Micro Sensor recommends wireless monitoring system solutions.

That is, the MFE600E electromagnetic flowmeter and MPM4730 pressure transmitter are used to collect the flow and pressure change of the pipeline, the wireless monitoring terminal is used to send the collected data to the big data platform through the 4G network. The system can automatically collect, analyze and upload data such as pipeline flow and pressure. When there is an abnormal situation in the pipeline, such as pressure, flow, and flow rate, real-time alarms can be sent through mobile phones or online monitoring platforms, so that staff can be arranged to check and maintain in a timely manner.

In addition, the system can also store historical data, which is convenient for staff to retrieve any time period data they need.

Product-Related

MFE600E Electromagnetic Flowmeter

• Unique electrode and lining process

• The maximum pipeline pressure resistance of 25MPa can be achieved

• Various signal outputs: analog signal, digital signal, wired output, wireless output

• In the sensor part, only the lining and the electrode are in contact with the medium. As long as the electrode and the lining material are reasonably selected, they can be resistant to corrosion and wear, ensuring long-term use.

• Explosion-proof/ sanitary/CE 

• Flow can be with pressure detection or temperature detection

MPM4730 Pressure Transmitter

• 4mA～20mA DC two-wire current output

• -10℃～70℃ digital wide temperature compensation

• RS485 communication interface or HARTâ communication protocol (optional) supports networking applications

• RoHS/ explosion-proof ExiaⅡBT6 Ga / CE

Onsite Application

The leakage monitoring of the water supply pipeline can be widely used in the needs of urban water supply, industrial water, hydrological exploration and other industries, and in the occasions where on-site flow and pressure are monitored and controlled. After long-term use, the products perform stable and reliable and the product quality is excellent, which has won good reputation from our customers.

The installation and working conditions of the leakage monitoring equipment of the pipeline network need to refer to the actual situation. Our technical team will provide you with the best products. Feel free to contact us via sales@microsensor.cn or leave messages below.
