iTracker Ushers in a New Age of
Wastewater Infrastructure Analysis
iTracker Inflow and Infiltration (I&I) Detection Systems from Eastech Flow
Controls introduce a breakthrough technology that now makes it economically
feasible for every municipality in the country to cost-effectively reduce their
wastewater treatment charges. iTracker’s advanced technology is based upon
a unique algorithm designated as “Delta Q”. Delta Q (patent pending) provides
for the ability to compute volumetric differences in wastewater flows between
dry and wet days, except without the requirement for ascertaining pipe slopes
and coefficients of roughness.
This single proprietary feature allows for the elimination of confined
space entry, installation in 20 minutes, zero maintenance and immediate
cost savings of up to 80%.
