Smart water is an upgrade and transformation of the traditional water industry, which deeply integrates the new generation of information technology such as the Internet of Things, cloud computing, big data, and mobile Internet with the water industry, and improves the operational efficiency of the water industry and promotes the sustainable development of the water industry by optimizing resource allocation and management methods.
The application of smart water in traditional water supply, drainage, sewage treatment and other aspects can realize real-time monitoring of water operation status to a large extent, realize the rational use of water resources and the effective use of reclaimed water, so as to improve the service level and management efficiency of water enterprises.
Monitoring equipment. At present, there are many types of monitoring equipment in the construction of smart water, mainly including:
1.Water quality monitoring equipment: including automatic water quality monitoring equipment and water quality monitoring equipment;
2.Water quantity monitoring equipment: mainly including water pumping stations, flow meters, pressure gauges, liquid level gauges, and some other monitoring instruments, such as ** monitoring, smart water meters, etc.;
3.Energy consumption monitoring equipment: It is mainly used to monitor the electricity consumption of enterprises, such as lighting, air conditioning, etc., to achieve energy consumption management
4.Other monitoring equipment: mainly wireless sensor networks, radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, fieldbuses, etc.
Meters. As an important measuring instrument of the water supply pipe network, the water meter is an important basis for water supply enterprises to understand the actual water consumption of the water supply network and reasonably formulate the water fee collection plan.
At present, China's urban water supply pipe network generally uses ultrasonic flowmeter and electromagnetic flowmeter for measurement, but the measurement accuracy of these two types of water meters is not high, and it is also easy to be affected by a variety of factors. Therefore, many enterprises are looking for new technology products that can solve the shortcomings of these two instruments. Smart water meters are one of them, and smart water meters are mainly composed of smart meters and flow meters.
Water meter. Water meter is an important part of smart water affairs, and the monitoring data of water meters can help water enterprises to monitor, manage and analyze water use data, so as to provide accurate and reliable water supply services for water enterprises and improve the quality of water supply. In the field of water meter monitoring, there are many types of smart water meters, intelligent remote water meters, and wireless remote water meters in China. The development of smart water will bring new changes to the water meter industry and promote the promotion and application of smart water meters on a larger scale.
Flowmeter. A flow meter is a flow measuring instrument that is mainly used for flow measurement. At present, in China's urban water supply system, flow meters are widely used in water meters, flow metering and other links.
In a water supply network, the data measured by flow meters varies depending on where they are installed. In order to improve the management level and operation efficiency of the water supply network, the flow meter can be installed at the very end of the pipe network, at the maximum pressure or at the valve, so as to monitor the operation status of the pipe network in real time. In addition, the sewage in the pipe network can be monitored by the flow meter, and the pipe network can be maintained in a timely manner according to the discharge of the sewage.
There are many types of flowmeters, such as orifice flowmeters, float flowmeters, pressure flowmeters, electromagnetic flowmeters, etc. Different kinds of flow meters have different functions and applications. Different kinds of flow meters are suitable for different occasions and application environments.
Water quality monitors.
Water quality monitor is a kind of equipment that detects water quality in real time through spectral detection technology. This kind of equipment analyzes the water quality status through the corresponding spectral signal processing of the measured water quality parameters, and analyzes the water quality status through the change of the spectral signal, and then analyzes, judges and improves the water quality parameters, so as to provide safety guarantee for drinking water.
