“We mainly use ABB’s WaterMasters. For many years we used ABB’s MagMaster units, which were outstanding, and we have now adapted to the new WaterMasters by back-engineering these to fit the old MagMasters. This is very beneficial and cost-effective for us.”
ABB’s electromagnetic WaterMaster units provide Wellington Water with the ability to measure, store data and track water flow passing through their pipes in real-time. The sensors have a user-friendly interface that enables fast and simple data entry for all parameters, and an easy set-up that simplifies the commissioning phase. The units are also rugged and robust, and designed to ensure a long, maintenance-free life under the arduous conditions of the water and wastewater industries.
Each ABB WaterMaster includes a simulated reference that isn’t affected by conditions at the measuring location, enabling the meter’s performance to be validated and optimised.
An infrared service port also makes it easy for recorded data to be exported for further analysis and evaluation so that critical factors can be identified earlier, and corrective actions are taken more quickly. Additionally, ABB's variable speed drive provides resilience in having the ability to control pressure and flow when required and improve operational monitoring. In this way, the process can be optimised for both greater productivity and less downtime.
By leveraging advanced measuring techniques such as these, Wellington Water can achieve its operational and financial targets.
