Context

A new regulation will force massive and systematic monitoring of water networks to control leaks or harmful chemical elements.
This requires the installation of a dense network of sensors connected everywhere, even at remote locations of the electrical network.

Technology

  • Autonomous, durable and efficient pico turbine (patented)
  • Power 2-10 Watt
  • Customised production according to flow rate and need

Advantages

  • Renewable energy
  • Long life span (20 years)
  • Simple and robust
  • Zero maintenance
  • No by-pass system for accidental overflow
  • Protected against theft and shock
  • Compatible with any system of existing pipes
  • Compatible with corrosive environments

State of progress

  • Demonstrator produced in the laboratory.
  • Functional and energy efficiency tests carried out
  • Leakage tests and underwater testing in progress

Applications

Power sensors and network monitoring systems adapted to high frequency data collection

Flow or pressure, chemical analysis, or valve control.

Industry sectors : drinking and rain water supply, industrial fluids, hydraulic circuits
