The Challenge:
Water losses
in pipe networks
30% of water is lost through leaks and bursts in water networks resulting in an environmental damage and waste of natural resources. About 4 Billion people are facing water scarcity at least one month of the year. Climate Change causes further impacts: 2016-2020 is set to be the warmest 5-year period on record.

The Hardware:
A Self-Powered
Multi-Sensor Device
The PT1 is a hydro-powered monitoring unit. The device measures flow and pressure at high accuracy levels everywhere in the network without the need of external power supply. It delivers data to manage smart water networks, to reduce water leakage and to prevent pipe bursts. With a smart and innovative energy management the integrated power unit charges the internal battery switches into low pressure drop mode at runaway speeds.
The Solution:
A Sensor Network For Real-Time Leakage Monitoring
By measuring the flow and pressure at dedicated points in the water network and comparing it with the hydraulic model, a digital twin can measure the leakage rate and pre-locate leaks. This will significantly reducing leakage run times and thus saving money, energy and reducing CO2 emissions.
