Progress in Technology to Detect and Locate Leaks

Published over 18 years ago. See the latest and most current information on Water/wastewater.

In the fight against unnecessary and costly water leakage, technology is
almost certainly the most effective weapon at our disposal. Several recent and emerging developments are showing a great deal of promise in not only winning the war, but by actually changing the way in which it is fought.
PermaNet from Halma Water Management (UK) is a new system designed to provide a constant and inescapable net to catch leaks in a water network. After installing permanent Permalog+ dataloggers along with PermaNet transmitters at various points throughout the network,
notifications about leak location and size can be immediately sent to a
central computer for exceptional response times and efficiency.
Once the local area has been identified, the new MicroCALL+ digital correlator takes the guesswork out of pinpointing the leak. A complete array of preset filters work with three outstation measurement and automatic velocity verification to provide highly accurate readings regardless of pipe type. This easy efficiency reduces the incidence of `dry holes` and speeds up the process of leak finding.
