In this article, we introduce a novel method of quantifying pump station energy efficiency. For an automobile, everyone is familiar with Miles-Per-Gallon or MPG. Today, we are going to introduce an equivalent measure of pump station efficiency that every water utility Telemetry/SCADA system should include: GPK. Automobile Efficiency… Have you ever calculated the average gas mileage for your automobile? … Read More →
[2022 Edit: The technology in this article has been deprecated, due to our introduction of the Model EMP Signalizer™ and Model APK (and APK.PLUS) Analog Pulse Kit, which supplant the need for the equipment and techniques described in this article.] In most cases, EtherMeter users will collect flow rate data via the device’s digital Ethernet … Read More →
The EtherMeter is the only known device that can calculate, transmit, and display rate-of-flow and totalization from all the major encoder-based water meters. And this fact can come in handy for a multitude of applications. For example, there are often occasions where bulk water users wish to visually monitor flow rate through a variable speed pump or … Read More →
