Fluves partnered with NSVA to enhance the monitoring of sewage pipelines in two Swedish communities near Helsingborg. Utilizing advanced Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) technology, Fluves aimed to improve the detection of infiltration, inflow, and blockages in the sewage systems.
- Challenge: NSVA needed to monitor and manage infiltration, inflow, and blockages in two sewage pipelines totaling 2 km near Helsingborg, Sweden, especially during rainfall and overflow events.
- Solution: Fluves installed two DTS systems (1.3 km and 0.8 km) to provide real-time monitoring and data visualization through an online dashboard, allowing for independent tracking by the sewage system operator.
- Results: The DTS systems successfully identified and localized approximately 10 infiltration and inflow issues, with real-time data enabling quick response and improved management of the sewage pipelines.
Challenge
NSVA needed a reliable method to monitor and manage infiltration, inflow, and blockages in two sewage pipelines of 2 km, to prevent system overloads and maintenance issues, especially during rainfall or overflow events.
Solution
Fluves Sewer deployed two DTS systems: one covering 1.3 km and the other 0.8 km of the sewage pipelines. The systems provided real-time data transmission and visualization via an online dashboard, enabling the sewage system operator to monitor the pipelines independently. Fluves also conducted an in-house data analysis to identify and report approximately 10 specific infiltration and inflow locations.
Results
The DTS systems effectively pinpointed and monitored infiltration, inflow, and blockages, allowing for prompt and precise management. The real-time dashboard and detailed analysis enabled the operator to address issues quickly, improving overall pipeline management and response to overflow events.
