How can a Monitoring system save us money?

The Flovac bench-marking tool used to determine operational costs has identified a number of potential area’s where a monitoring system will save costs for the utility. These costs can be very high in some cases and once the monitoring system is used effectively some clients have seen a payback within a year.

  • Reduction of I&I into the vacuum system, saving on energy costs and operational problems both at the Vacuum System and at the Treatment Plant
  • Operator Hours reduced significantly by identifying the exact location of any faults
  • Overtime hours can be reduced by prioritizing call-outs
  • Reduced time spent tuning the vacuum system
  • Less risks of overflows due to high level alarms means less risk of agency fines or homeowner lawsuits
  • Fine tuning of the air entering the vacuum system by selected valves can reduce energy costs
  • Identify repeat problems within the network, either specific valves or homeowners.
  • It can identify shortcomings with operational training and skills
  • Reduced need for spare parts changes. Only change parts when required.
