Use of hydraulic model – the latest publication of our employees

An article published in  scientific journal “Economics and Environment” by our colleagues – Artur Zajkowski, Łukasz Wysocki and Piotr Tuz, written in cooperation with academics from the Białystok University of Technology – PhD DSc Eng. Izabela Bartkowska and PhD Eng. Wojciech Kruszyński.

The subject of the text is the use of the hydraulic model of the network to reduce real water losses and reduce the operating costs of water systems.

One possible and cheap way to reduce leakage is to lower the average pressure in the network. Thanks to new computational technologies, the process of selecting a pressure reduction device is accurate and easy to perform. In the study, a hydraulic model was used to select the required pressure reduction valves and the correct location, accurately and appropriately approximating the resulting reduction in absolute water losses due to this approach.

This solution is particularly beneficial for small water companies supplying water to a small number of consumers who are struggling with an extremely tight budget, which often makes it impossible to carry out any large-scale modernization.
