A water management software to improve the performance of drinking water networks

Improve problem detection and management by directly reducing water loss and control water quality with our control software.

Whether you are an operator or a local authority, AQUADVANCED® Water Networks allows you to fully supervise your network in real time, alerts you in the event of an incident (water leak, microbiological risks, etc.) and informs you of its location.

The installation of sensors throughout your network, the analysis of data on flows, pressure and water quality, allow us to provide you with this valuable information.

• Improved network performance with water loss limit.
• Reduced time to search for leaks
• Detection and location of invisible leaks
• Real-time supervision and control of water quality
• Optimisation of operational performance (in time and personnel) and reduction of operating costs
• Increased compliance with regulatory requirements

The "hydraulic" module forms the basis of the offer. It offers a hypervision of the network's operation, with the calculation of business indicators (nighttime flow, daily volume, network performance) and events based on hydraulic data (sectorisation, flows, volumes, pressures, etc.).

It allows you to monitor and analyse the performance of your drinking water network, and detects events and leaks in real time, as well as their location.

It can be completed with 2 modules:

• The "Quality" module, which monitors the quality of the water, detects anomalies (taste problems, red water, coloured water, etc.) and allows you to act on the taste qualities of the water.
• The "Pressure" module, which analyses the pressure stages and detects anomalies (pressure drifts, water hammer, overpressure waves, etc.). Suitable for communities with a steep slope (with a high number of valves and pumps), it helps to limit premature wear and network breakage.

 

Objectives:

Faced with the scarcity of water resources in the territory and a very high consumption of water linked to its tourist activities (hotels, casinos, etc.), Macao Water has chosen the AQUADVANCED® Water Networks software solution to manage the performance of its drinking water network in an innovative way.

 

The results:

• 158 events detected in the first two years, 92% of which revealed anomalies
• Non-revenue water has fallen from 18% to less than 10%
• The ROI is between 2 and 3 years
• Accurate analysis of pressure and flow changes allows for rapid action, as was the case when a leak was detected in the University of Macau's private pipes, preventing the loss of 5,000 m³, the equivalent of three days' water consumption

Objectives:

As one of the 20 most populous regions in Europe, Milan has a complex and comprehensive water network. As one of the most developed cities in Italy, it is considered a benchmark in many areas, including that in the water business and AQUADVANCED® Water Networks has helped them achieve their goals.

 

The results:

• Strengthen the monitoring and control of the water network through the integrated digital twin that has helped to sectorise the only existing sector into 10 virtual sectors and 287 virtual sub-sectors.
• Optimise the use of existing sensors, identifying the best location of pressure sensors and reducing the number of sensors needed
• Define key indicators to make decisions to improve the operation of the networks in an optimal way (daily losses, daily linear flows, etc.)
• Generate events and identify risks through data mining and missing data modelling.
• Provide water billing and supply services.

Objectives:

In a process of constant improvement of the performance of the water service, the network operator has chosen AQUADVANCED® Water Networks, in the AQUADVANCED® ecosystem of solutions, to achieve the non-revenue water objectives set by the local authority, up to a maximum of 10% per year, and to monitor the quality of the water in the network in real time

 

The results :

• Within a year, 94 events were detected, 80% of which revealed an anomaly, as verified by the network operator
• 200,000 m³ of water saved in 2 years, the equivalent of the consumption of a town of 4,000 inhabitants
• Improvement in non-revenue water by one point, to reach 10% in one year. To go beyond expectations, to reach 8% after a few years.
• Detection of an increase in bacteria and a decrease in chlorine residual corresponding to a change in water source.
• Visualisation of conductivity variations on two occasions corresponding to the start-up, then to a change in the parameterisation of the decarbonisation system set up in the area.

Objectives:

Algiers is located in a particularly arid region, where water resources are critical and urbanisation is increasing. The city is faced with intermittent distribution of drinking water. To allow Algiers to have access to drinking water 24/7, the SEAAL (Algiers Water and Sanitation Company) has chosen the AQUADVANCED® Water Networks solution.

 

The results:

• Improved leak detection with real-time flow monitoring
• Improvement in non-revenue water from 45.3% in 2017 to 42.2% today, i.e. a gain of nearly 13 million m³ of water
• The system can detect anomalies in the event of an overflow or low pressure, and act as quickly as possible
• Installation of pressure sensors
