ABB helps Bangkok reduce water loss

ABB帮助曼谷减少水资源损失

2006-05-19 - An ABB leak management solution will help the Bangkok Metropolitan Waterworks Authority reduce annual water loss by 160 million cubic meters and save $4 million in treatment and energy costs.

2006-5-19—ABB的一个渗漏管理解决方案将帮助曼谷首都供水系统当局每年减少一亿六千万立方米的水资源损失，节省了四百万美元的处理和能源损失。

The Bangkok Metropolitan Waterworks Authority (MWA) has identified water loss as its number-one priority and is striving to reduce annual leakage from an estimated 40 percent in 2000 to 30 percent by the end of 2006.

曼谷首都供水系统当局（MWA）已经确定水资源损失问题是其首要处理任务，并努力减少损失率，从2000年估计的40%减少到2006年底的30% 。

At stake is not just the considerable loss of non-revenue water, but the cost of treating and distributing millions of cubic meters of product that is lost in transit between the treatment plant and the end user.

问题不但包括大量的非税项水源浪费，还有在水处理厂与最终用户之间传输而损失的数以百万立方米的处理和分配成本。

Integral to the Bangkok MWA’s efforts to minimize water loss and improve operational efficiency is a customized ABB automation solution that enables the water authority to monitor flow and pressure data at 1,000 measuring points and transmit data to a central control center.

ABB个性化的自动化解决方案成为曼谷MWA减少水源损失和提高运作效率的努力的组成部分，使得供水当局在多达一千个的测量点中监测流量和压力数据，并把这些数据传输到一个中央控制中心。

There, ABB’s Water Leakage Management Software (WLMS) will perform leakage calculations to determine water loss levels in district metering areas throughout the Greater Bangkok area.

在那里，ABB的水渗漏管理软件（WLMS）将在整个大曼谷范围内执行渗漏计算，以测定区域计量范围的水损失级别。

Leaks and burst pipelines

渗漏和爆裂管道

The system differentiates between background losses at joints and fittings and larger scale bursts, and enables operators to quickly localize leaks, deploy maintenance teams, track maintenance status, and access essential zone criteria and data by remote.

该系统可以区分在管道连接处的渗漏和更大规模的爆裂之间的损失，使得操作员迅速定位渗漏地点，组成维修队，跟踪维修情况，以及远程访问基本的地域标准和数据。

The solution is based on ABB’s award-winning System 800xA automation platform and includes the WLMS and Power Generation Information Management (PGIM) software, the expansion of an existing ABB SCADA system with 800xA and AC800M controllers, MagMaster electromagnetic flow meters, and CTU800-CPE remote terminal units.

该解决方案是基于ABB得奖的800xA自动化平台系统，还包括WLMS和发电信息管理（PGIM）软件，添加了800xA 和 AC800M控制器的现有ABB 监控和数据采集系统（SCADA），MagMaster电磁流量计，以及CTU800-CPE远程终端设备。

Application software like geographical information systems, water network analysis, customer information systems, and billing systems is integrated with the solution.

地理信息系统、供水网络分析、顾客信息系统以及票据系统等应用软件也整合到了这个解决方案中。

The Bangkok metropolitan water system is one of the largest in the world. It supplies some 11 million people in three major cities with1,628 million cubic meters of potable water a year via 24,328 kilometers of pipeline over an area of 1,855 square kilometers.

曼谷首都供水系统是世界上最大的系统之一。每年，通过24,328千米的管道，它为1,855平方公里的三个主要城市里的一千一百万人口供应十六亿两千八百万立方米的可饮用水。
