Abstract: This paper presents three new indicators for assessing the energy efficiency of a pressurized water system and the potential energy savings relative to the available technology and economic framework. The first two indicators ...

Abstract: Water transients with entrapped air can originate large pressure peaks that can severely damage distribution networks. Entrapped air can have a damping or amplifying effect on these undesirable pressure peaks. Unfortunately, ...

Abstract: Calculating the optimum replacement period of meters has always been a major concern for water utility managers. Its determination is time-consuming and requires multiple calculations. This note presents a graphical method ...

Abstract: To achieve maximum efficiency in water pressurized transport, it is necessary to perform a global analysis, whenever possible starting from the system’s conception. The first stage of the process is the network layout, the ...
