Water Monitoring Case Study

INDUSTRIAL WATER
MONITORING
APPLYING THE NEWEST TECHNOLOGY
TO MONITOR WATER USAGE IN AN OLD
FACILITY

SITUATION
• A LARGE INDUSTRIAL FACILITY USING 3
MILLION GALLONS OF WATER PER DAY
WANTED TO IDENTIFY THE PROCESSES WITHIN
THEIR FACILITY THAT WERE USING THE MOST
WATER.
• THE FACILITY RUNS 24/7 WITH VERY
INFREQUENT DOWN TIME MAKING
INSTALLATION VERY DIFFICULT.
• LARGE, OLD FACILITY WITH MANY DIFFERENT
BUILDINGS MADE DATA COLLECTION
CHALLENGING.

ACTION > PLANT SURVEY
• IDENTIFIED IMPORTANT LOCATIONS
• RECORDED PIPE SIZES AND MATERIALS
• COULD LINES BE ISOLATED FOR
INSTALLATION
• DID EXISTING METERS EXIST
• DID EXISTING DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEM
EXIST

ACTION > EVALUATE TECHNOLOGIES
Criteria
• Installation
• Operation
• Flexibility
• Simplicity
• Scalability
MeterTypes
• Positive
Displacement
• Turbine
• Ultrasonic
• Magnetic
Signals
• Mobus
• 4:20 mA
• Pulse
• HART
