Water Equipment
According to the American Water Works Association (AWWA), the majority of water distribution system pipes are composed of iron material. Water pipeline corrosion can cause loss of pipe, water, and negatively impact the quality of drinking water. As in the oil and gas industry, cathodic protection (CP) is of critical importance to water pipeline operators.
In addition, water and wastewater pipeline operators and utilities must also monitor other non-CP water equipment assets at treatment and storage facilities and distribution centers to ensure they are working safely and efficiently.
The Bullhorn Remote Monitoring System and Bullhorn Asset Tracker (BAT) web interface allows companies to monitor, collect and report measurement results on critical water and wastewater equipment reliably and cost-effectively by using robust data communication methods. Bullhorn can also be used to extend established SCADA systems. The RM2020 and APM4AM units can enhance SCADA functionality by monitoring equipment in regions not yet integrated into a full system and communicating data from BAT into pre-existing software. In addition, Bullhorn can often meets the needs of smaller and mid-size companies and utilities who don't have the capital to invest in a large-scale SCADA system but need critical equipment data.
