ABB White Paper Tackles Key Water Leakage Issues

ABB is a world-wide organisation that designs, develops, manufactures and supplies instrumentation equipment and systems for industrial process control, flow measurement, gas analysis, liquid analysis and environmental monitoring. It has recently been awarded a contract by Western Power Distribution (WPD) to deploy an innovative flexible power link in Devon, southwest England, which will enable an increase in capacity without the need for infrastructure reinforcement.

Now a new white Paper that explains the key issues underlying water leakage and how it can be managed using the latest flow-metering technology is available from ABB.

The white paper defines water leakage and details various causes then establishes the consequences that water companies could face if they fail to meet set leakage targets, including damage to their profitability, damage to their reputations, and reduced resources.

The white paper goes on to explain the concept of District Metering Areas (DMAs); how these are being used very effectively in leak management programmes to decrease leakage in networks that had previously received little or no previous detection work.

The white paper also expounds on the benefits of electromagnetic over mechanical flowmeters for increased flow accuracy, in-situ verification, and long-term reliability. The key features of the ABB AquaMaster3 are detailed in full and an explanation give of how it can be successfully deployed into a DMA system.

The white paper provides, in PDF form, a case-study in which a consortium of Costain and Severn Trent Services used ABB electromagnetic flowmeters to meet stringent government sustainability targets eleven years ahead of schedule.

The white paper was written by ABB’s engineers and is available to anyone involved in leakage management by e-mail.

As water leakage is responsible for millions of litres of wasted freshwater across the globe annually, this white paper could be of significant value to those in the industry and could be the difference between available resources and wasted resources, especially in water-scarce countries.
