Combination FCS leak noise logger and Neptune radio MIU among most innovative products

The R900® Permalog from Fluid Conservation Systems (FCS) and Neptune Technology Group was chosen by the AWWA to be featured at the 2008 Annual Conference & Exposition (ACE) New Product Technology Showcase.  The R900 Permalog uses an FCS leak noise logger and a Neptune R900 radio frequency meter interface unit to provide utilities with distribution-side leak monitoring capabilities in their automatic meter reading system.  This system can be seen at the show June 8-12, 2008 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, Ga.

To allow attendees of the show to more easily browse through the products of nearly 600 exhibiting companies, the organizers have chosen a select group of the newest and most innovative products to be featured in this exclusive exhibit area.  Representatives from FCS and Neptune Technology Group will be on hand to answer attendees’ questions about the R900 Permalog system.

“The R900 Permalog has proven itself through successful operation in a number of cities, and being selected by the AWWA for this exclusive showcase is further proof of the quality of this system,” said Rob Fish, Acting Managing Director of FCS.

In the fight against unnecessary and costly water leakage, technology is almost certainly the most effective weapon at our disposal. Several recent and emerging developments are showing a great deal of promise in not only winning the war, but by actually changing the way in which it is fought.

PermaNet is a new system designed to provide a constant and inescapable net to catch leaks in a water network. After installing permanent Permalog+ dataloggers along with PermaNet transmitters at various points throughout the network, notifications about leak location and size can be immediately sent to a central computer for exceptional response times and efficiency.

Once the local area has been identified, the new MicroCALL+ digital correlator takes the guesswork out of pinpointing the leak. A complete array of preset filters work with three outstation measurement and automatic velocity verification to provide highly accurate readings regardless of pipe type. This easy efficiency reduces the incidence of ‘dry holes’ and speeds up the process of leak finding.

Halma Water Management is always looking out for potential avenues of advancement for their water management technology. By developing close links with water industry professionals and listening to feedback from their customers, the company is able to make the changes and improvements to its products that are actually wanted and needed by those who use them. These are just two examples from HWM’s range; for more information on other products and services please visit their website at www.hwm-water.com.
