The I-CENSE is a probe for real-time monitoring of drinking water quality inside distribution pipes. The probe is directly inserted inside the pipe and measures chlorine, turbidity, conductivity, temperature, flow and pressure. It transmits the information through radio communication (4G LTE, NB IoT) to a supervisor. It creates a network to survey the complete water distribution pipe of a city. Fully energy independent and interconnected, it is mainly used for securing the supply of drinking water but can also be used for many other applications. The main fields of application are securing the supply of drinking water, disinfection control, microbiological contamination monitoring, compartmentalization of leakage flows and asset management

The Environmental Benefits

  • 6 measurement done with only 1 insertion
  • 1 year of functioning with each measurement every 5 minutes without maintenance
  • Today 30% of water injected in distribution is lost due to non detected leaks, which can be fixed by this Solution
  • 80% of diseases due to bacterias in water distribution can be avoided

The Financial Benefits

  • Total cost ownership is 50% cheaper than mainstream alternative
  • Can reduce by 17% the number of water bottles used due to better water quality in house
