Pressure management in water distribution networks

Featured theme: Pressure management

Worldwide, municipalities are facing major challenges in water resource management. In response, Grundfos has developed a new way to reduce water loss, improve energy efficiency and reduce operation and maintenance costs. Called Demand Driven Distribution, it is one of the first pressure management systems of its kind.

Leakage reduction

Issue 1 - Non-Revenue Water (NRW) is water that is put into the system but later leaked and consequently not billed to consumers. It leads to lost revenue and increased operational costs.

Energy efficiency

Issue 2 – Other than manpower, energy is typically the highest operating cost for water companies due to massive consumption by water supply systems.

Operation & upkeep costs

Issue 3 - Over coming decades, water utilities face extensive distribution network refurbishment. This will become a considerable cost if the wrong solution is chosen.
