ABB helps Bangkok reduce water loss

ABB幫助曼谷減少水資源損失

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的一個滲漏管理解決方案將幫助曼谷首都供水系統當局每年減少一億六千萬立方米的水資源損失，節省了四百萬美元的處理和能源損失。

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.

曼谷首都供水系統當局（MWA）已經確定水資源損失問題是其首要處理任務，并努力減少損失率，從2000年估計的40%減少到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.

問題不但包括大量的非稅項水源浪費，還有在水處理廠與最終用戶之間傳輸而損失的數以百萬立方米的處理和分配成本。

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個性化的自動化解決方案成為曼谷MWA減少水源損失和提高運作效率的努力的組成部分，使得供水當局在多達一千個的測量點中監測流量和壓力數據，并把這些數據傳輸到一個中央控制中心。

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的水滲漏管理軟件（WLMS）將在整個大曼谷范圍內執行滲漏計算，以測定區域計量范圍的水損失級別。

Leaks and burst pipelines

滲漏和爆裂管道

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.

該系統可以區分在管道連接處的滲漏和更大規模的爆裂之間的損失，使得操作員迅速定位滲漏地點，組成維修隊，跟蹤維修情況，以及遠程訪問基本的地域標準和數據。

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.

該解決方案是基于ABB得獎的800xA自動化平臺系統，還包括WLMS和發電信息管理（PGIM）軟件，添加了800xA 和 AC800M控制器的現有ABB 監控和數據采集系統（SCADA），MagMaster電磁流量計，以及CTU800-CPE遠程終端設備。

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

地理信息系統、供水網絡分析、顧客信息系統以及票據系統等應用軟件也整合到了這個解決方案中。

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.

曼谷首都供水系統是世界上最大的系統之一。每年，通過24,328千米的管道，它為1,855平方公里的三個主要城市里的一千一百萬人口供應十六億兩千八百萬立方米的可飲用水。
