Category: Smart Water monitoring systemSub Category: Analyzers and controlsystems, Water resources management.www.aquarius-spectrum.comCompany profileAquarius Spectrum has developed innovative, cost-effective solutions for automatic detection andlocation of water leaks in pipes. Aquarius Spectrum’s solution enables ONLINE water leakage monitoringby fixed network of wireless sensors that provides alerts as the leaks develops before they burst.Year of establishment: 2009No. of employees: 4Background of the companyAquarius Spectrum is operating under Kinrot Ventures and funded by the Israelian office of chief scientist.Aquarius Spectrum has completed its software algorithm and sensors development as well as testingprototypes and is in its development for large installations phase. The system is in installation phase atfirst commercial installation.The company strategy is based on developing strong business with smartwater operators for installation and further development.Examples of projectsThe company is now in the phase of it first commercial project at the municipality on Netanya.Technologies & productsGeneral description:Aquarius has developed innovative design of vibration sensor using thin film (membrane) piezo elementworking in a bending mode. The new design (Patent Pending) significantly reduces the cost of the sensorand its size. The new sensor enables to design a range of sensors for Noise loggers, correlating sensorsand covers a wide range of frequencies for metal and plastic pipes. The sensor is small enough to beintegrated into water meter and provides a dense network of acoustic monitoring array. Aquarius hasdeveloped advanced algorithms that provide automatic high reliability detection of leaks in complexnetworks, using signal processing and statistic analysis.Function of the product(s):The system is based on a wireless sensors network (GSM) that are installed on hydrants or in valve pits,providing ONLINE monitoring and location of water leaks over large distances. The system utilizes novelmulti-sensor algorithms for leaks detection enabling detection and location of small leaks at a distance ofover 400 meters (on average 2.5 sensors per pipe km) and a 1-2 meter location accuracy.The system uses distributed signal processing and small data packets for communication, enabling up to5 years of maintenance-free battery operation.Objectives / Target companiesThe company is seeking business partner in the smart water utility monitoring. We are looking forbusiness partners that are establishing and installing smart water solutions top tier companies as GE,IBM,ABB and as well local integrators that are providing smart water integrated solutions.Back to Index4
