Blue and grey water networks must work flawlessly

Radio modems are used widely for the remote control and monitoring of waterworks and sewage processing plants. Since these installations are often in remote places or cover a large area, the data network needs to be flexible, easy to extend and above all reliable.

Ensure your water distribution

In water distribution plants, interruptions must be kept to a minimum, and problems addressed instantly. This puts additional pressure on the reliability and integrity on the monitoring and control network. With SATELLINE radio modems real time monitoring networks can be configured and expanded according to demand. The network may cover, for example, pumping stations, water reservoirs and distribution substations. SATELLINE modems are also used to monitor water usage, flow or other set parameters. Changing settings or setting alarm information is simple and straightforward when you use SATEL products in your data network.

Go with the flow

As well as monitoring water distribution, SATELLINE radio modems are used to control pumping stations. These installations are often in remote areas so setting up data transfer communication can be difficult. The pumping stations are easily automated and controlling them remotely using SATELLINE radio modems makes this a simple and economical way to control pumping and transfer of raw water to reservoirs. Extended transmission ranges and general reliability of SATELLINE radio modems makes them an excellent choice for these applications.

A brain for your drain

As well as clean water networks, the sewer system needs to be constantly monitored and controlled. The problem with sewage and drainage networks is that often sites cover a large area. This makes monitoring the network using traditional means difficult. Radio modems however are a flexible, economical and reliable solution for building comprehensive data transfer networks. Sewage pumping stations, water treatment plants or selected parts of a sewer network where flow and leakage need to be monitored, are ideal examples of where SATELLINE radio modems can be quickly and easily installed to provide instant access to vital information without the hassle of laying cables.

Pinpoint the problem

Radio modems enable flexible monitoring networks precisely where they are needed. This is crucial especially when monitoring aging sewage networks, where old pipes often are the cause of leakages, and clogs are frequent and short term monitoring is often needed so that immediate response can be implemented to resolve the problem. As substations can be added or removed from the network freely, it is easy to keep costs down thus leaving resources to be focused on other problem areas.
