Efficient Water Flow Balancing & Leak Detection Solutions
Water is an essential product, and ensuring it flows seamlessly through pipelines is critical for both safety and sustainability. For water suppliers and distribution network operators, maintaining high-quality, safe drinking water while managing the infrastructure effectively is a priority. In this effort, reliable leak detection and flow balancing are vital to prevent losses and maintain optimal operation.
The Importance of Leak Detection and Flow Balancing
Leaks in water pipelines can go undetected, leading to significant water loss, increased operational costs, and compromised service. Detecting and fixing leaks early is essential for water utility companies to minimize wastage and ensure their networks are operating efficiently. Whether working with district metered areas (DMAs), large underground pipelines, or above-ground systems, timely detection is key.
How Our Flow Meters Help:
- Clamp-On Flow Meters: We offer advanced clamp-on flow meters that can be strategically placed along pipelines, without the need for invasive installations. Multiple meters can be used simultaneously to monitor flow at various points and identify any discrepancies in flow rates. An imbalance in readings signals a potential leak, allowing operators to pinpoint the affected pipeline section and act promptly.
- Leak Detection Integration: Using our flow meters alongside acoustic leak detectors, we can identify the exact location of a leak, minimizing the need for costly excavation and disruption. This combination of technologies ensures accurate and efficient detection, helping to save time and resources.
Real-Life Application
For example, we worked with a company near Lake Tahoe, California, that required several meters for large water pipeline flow measurements. They rented EESIFLO clamp-on flow meters, which met their specifications perfectly, allowing them to perform accurate measurements for both flow balancing and leak detection without having to scrape the pipe walls. Additionally, the meters worked effectively under varying conditions, even with lower flow rates at night.
Custom Solutions for Every Situation
Leaks don’t just occur in large pipelines—they can happen anywhere, whether it’s plastic, steel, or cement-lined pipes. If you’re unsure about the best solution for your situation, we offer expert consultation to help you select the right equipment. For submersible leak detection, we can recommend submersible flow sensors with remotely located electronics to detect leaks in submerged or hard-to-reach areas.
