The removal of large transients and frequent pressure oscillations calms down water networks and in turn reduces the number of asset failures

How can Syrinix help?
A structured approach to monitoring identifies the sources of pressure transients, so they can be reduced or removed.
Syrinix offers a complete service encompassing the planning and deployment of PIPEMINDER ONE sensors and the collection, assessment, and analysis of hydraulic data. We will work with you to make recommendations for remedial actions and ongoing operational works, based upon actionable data.
This approach can reduce pipeline failure rate, leakage and ultimately extend asset lifetimes.
Leak and burst reduction
Typically, a 10% reduction in pressure can deliver a 10% leak reduction and 14% burst rate reduction.
Syrinix can identify the source of transient problems on your network and suggest mitigation strategies to reduce them.
Why are transients damaging?
Researchers estimate that in the USA, 2.1 trillion gallons of water is lost to aging and leaky pipes, broken water mains and faulty meters.
Commonly known as ‘water hammer’, transients are short-lived pressure waves describe fast changes in the pressure of a pipe in water networks.
Usually caused by network operations such as closing a valve or sudden pump shutdowns, transients are proven to damage pipes and assets as they propagate through the network causing leakage and breaks.
Change operational behaviour
If transients can be detected and identified, network operations can be altered. Valves can be closed more carefully, pump shutdowns can be modified which in turn will reduce the negative side effects and damage caused to assets.
