Measure: OperatingParameterSurveillance

Description

Surveillance of operating parameters from the catchment to the final distribution point. Thus any damages, malfunctions or manipulations in the supply chain are directly detected. The aim is to enable fast reactions to damages, malfunctions or manipulations.

Comments

Potential parameters to be supvervised are volume flows and pressures of water at different positions in the system, pressure losses (e.g. at filters), membrane permeabilities or volume flows and pressures of air at aerations. The surveillance can be realized manually or automatically by the definition of certain allowed operating ranges.
