Non-revenue water plan & monitoring

Customer

• Our customer produces and distributes drinking water to approximatively 55.000 residents of the municipality of Elsinor (Denmark) over a territory of 125 km². At the same time, the company ensures that the Environmental Protection Agency requirements for water quality are observed.

Task definition

• Measure drinking water flow at various strategic locations for automatic water network controlling (smart city water network) and detection of leaks (non-revenue water plan)
• Pipe sizes from 160 mm to 800 mm
• Very accurate flowrate needed (better than 0,5%)
• No flow shutdown possible and sensors had to be inserted in 1 inch ball valves

Solution

• Installation of several TORPEE-MAG 1” full pipe multi-point electromagnetic flowmeters allowing installation through 1” ball valves without shutting down the flow
• The TORPEE-MAG is connected to a stationary converter displaying all information on a LCD screen and transmitting the data via 4-20 mA to the SCADA system of the customer
• No calibration on site necessary
