Non Revenue Water (NRW) Management | SUPRA

Intelligent water leak management platform services for Indonesian water management company
 

SUPRA Internasional Indonesia and WI.Plat Co. Ltd. – A South Korean technology start up from K-water are cooperating to increase the efficiency of water supply in Indonesia in the long term by sharing sustainable and innovative water leakage management. We are providing intelligent water leak management platform services for Indonesian water management company or PDAM. We develop a comprehensive Leakage Management / NRW Management of Indonesian Water Supply and Management company (PDAM)

Non-Revenue Water (NRW) or Water Loss is shortchanging utilities on a massive scale. NRW occurs when systemic leaks in piping infrastructure, aging meters, and/or theft creates an imbalance between the quantity pumped and the amount consumed. Non-revenue water percentage (NRW) reflects the difference between the amount of water supplied through the water distribution system and that billed to customers. This percentage includes real or physical losses like water leakage, and apparent losses such as illegal connections and meter inaccuracies. Great care, engineering, and cost go into treating and delivering every gallon of water – our most precious resource – that the demand for cost-effective and easy to manage tools and solutions have never been greater
 

Comprehensive Water Leakage Management Company 
 

Current levels of PDAM’S NRW in Indonesia vary widely. Out of 380 PDAMs, some PDAMs have a water loss rate of only 20 percent or less, but several also reach 60 percent or more. According to official data from the Ministry of Public Works for the 2018 financial statement, the average water loss for PDAMs in Indonesia is around 32.75 percent. With a total connection of 11,951,927 SR and a National Real Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) of NRW is Rp. 4,874.20 / m3, the volume lost is equivalent to 1.51 billion m3 of water per year and lost opportunities to earn Rp. 7.8 trillion per year.

NRW is an indicator of the service providers’ efforts in maintaining the assets of the utility in general, and the network in specific, in good working conditions. It helps the utility plan for investment in the rehabilitation or replacement of the network and in budget preparation. It is also a tool that it is used by the regulator to assess the performance of the individual service provider upon a request of tariff change. The regulator sets performance levels for operators to achieve in order to safeguard the interest of customers, reduce operation costs, and preserve limited water resources.

WI.Plat’s solution integrates the leading-edge technologies including IoT, AI and cloud system. The IoT devices collect and transmit field data including water leakage sound from water pipes to smartphones. And NELOW application get the data and send it to an online web platform and also give users easy management tool. Through AI technology, user can find the leak points based on GIS and manage facility easily. 

 

We are helping PDAM and water companies to effectively managed their NRW with IoT, Artificial Intelligence and Cloud Technology

WI.Plat’s Intelligent Water Leak Management Platform integrates the advanced technologies of Internet of Things, data analytics, and cloud platform system to solve the problems in water supply management systems. A detector monitors and collects data on energy difference caused by water leaks, which is then transferred via Bluetooth to a mobile phone attached on top of the detector. When internet access is available, the data in the mobile phone is sent to the cloud-based platform server, where the algorithm analyzes the data and informs the customers of leaking points. The raw data and the results of analyses are shown on both the mobile phone and the web system. 

Whereas conventional solutions are expensive as they use multiple servers and experts, WI.Plat’s platform could reduce the cost by integrating the solutions into a single cloud platform and replacing experts with data analytics. By Using NELOW Android App, we helps you to find out location of water leak by only collecting water leak sound with Sonic M1 and NELOW-App. At the same time, NELOW Cloud web servers supply total pipe network management by integrated GIS digitalization, water leak sound analysis, DMA(District Metering Area) monitoring, pressure management, water meter reading, and asset Maintenance

Should you wish to have further understanding on how to develop NRW management plan by using WI.Plat intelligent water leak management platform ,  please contact us, our NRW consultants are glad to help you find the most suitable NRW management plan
