WETNET: Tecnología, Confianza e Internacionalización

www.wetnet.it

WETNET is a Project Co-Founded by the Eco-Innovation initiative

of the European Union, to develop a new low cost technology for

metering water flow, combined with a Supervisory Software, to

intercept and cut water leaks, reducing energy costs in water net

works.

1 year – > 1,000,000 m3 of water losses – > 0.18 €/Kwh (0.16 £/KWh )

54,000 € - 108,000 €

48,000 £ - 96,000 £

Environmental Impact

Water losses: water abstracted in excess + the energy to treat it and

pump it + linked emissions

The energy required to deliver 1000 litres at tap is in a range

between 0.3 to 0.6 KWh.

ETV

“Without credible information about innovative technologies, potential purchasers are unsure whether or not

to trust the claims made about the performance. In consequence, manufacturers and vendors face serious

difficulties offering their innovative, potentially excellent technologies on the market due to an inaccurate

assessment of their risks, benefits and limitations”

European Union, Advance ETV, A Comprehensive Guide for Proposers to the EU Environmental Technologies

Verification Pilot Programme (Environmental Technologies Verification, ETV), 2012

WETNET successfully concluded its ETV process in June 2016

Statement of Verification :

“capacity of detection of abnormal operational conditions (within 1 day) and leakages (within 3 day),

hence allowing to reduce the life of leaks and to optimize active monitoring and control of the volumes

pumped”

WETNET ETV’s has been got in order to help to build a trustworthy business relationship with

potential customers and investors.

Drinking Water Networks Monitoring

Leakages detection

COSTS

WETNET price is lower than other existing technology which allows customers monitoring large areas of

water networks with an interesting cost rate

WETNET allows reduce time to water leak detection and their linked costs

Return of Investment. 12 - 18 months

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

Normally 10-20% reduction of water loss and energy saving in few months

Less CO2 emitted in atmosphere

ETV Certification

FLEXIBILITY, VERSATILE AND SIMPLICTY OF INSTALLATION

WETNET could be sold separated or as whole with a high added value

Incremental deployment and size (number of sensors) scalability

Allow co-existence and/or integration with existing measurement and control systems

Simple hydraulic operations for pipe preparing

Performance Data: Case of Study. Pisa (Tuscany, Italy)

The positive effects of an integrated system are prominent on the Pisa deployment test site :

100.000 equivalent inhabitants

250 km of pipes

WSS, 50 different flow-meters – and links – have been deployed on the water network to test the system as a whole

and to adapt to different installation conditions.

33,6% reduction of water consumption. Projected saving of 2.649.000 m3/year of pumped water

37,1% reduction of energy consumption, Projected 1.043.706 KWh/year

35,9% of greenhouse gas emission. Projected saving of 414 TCO2/year
