[홍콩] 식수공급 스마트화 사업에 i2O 시스템 적용

홍콩 수무서(WSD)는 급수관 운영을 측정하기 위해 영국 i2O사의 새 데이터 로깅 시스템을 사용하는 것을 승인했다고 밝혔다.

수무서는 홍콩 전역에 거주하는 700만 명 이상의 인구에 식수를 제공하고 있으며, 향후 블랙앤비치(Black & Veatch) 및 이노파이프 엔지니어링(Innopipe Engineering Co Ltd.)과 공동으로 진행하는 유압식 모델 프로젝트의 일환으로 i2O사의 신규 데이터 로깅 시스템인 ‘dNet’을 배치할 계획이다.

Hong Kong partners with i2O to smarten up its drinking water supply

 

The Water Supplies Department (WSD) of Hong Kong has approved a new data logging system from British company i2O to measure the performance of its water supply network.

 

WSD is responsible for providing potable water to more than seven million people living across the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

 

The organisation will deploy dNet, a new data logging system from i2O, as part of a hydraulic modelling project with consultants Black & Veatch and Innopipe Engineering Co Ltd.

 

As part of the contract, loggers will be deployed throughout the Kowloon region of Hong Kong to record and transmit detailed water network performance data relating to water demand, flow and pressure.

 

Some i2O loggers are also being deployed permanently in the Kowloon region of WSD’s network.

 

Joel Hagan, CEO of i2O Water, said: “Providing an adequate water supply for Hong Kong has always been difficult because there are no natural lakes, rivers or substantial underground water sources. With greater demand for water from population growth and expanding commercial activities, WSD, like many utilities around the world, has recognised that improving the smart capabilities of its network is crucial. i2O’s dNet system has been developed to provide rapid, accurate data to water utilities that can be used to improve network performance.”
