Author:Page, Philip RDate:Nov 2018The additional benefit of a recent highly optimal technique which keeps the pressure low and constant at a remote location, above the conventional technique, is discussed. The former technique is called remote real-time control (RRTC). The ...Read more
Author:Page, Philip R; Abu-Mahfouz, Adnan MI; Yoyo, SonwabisoDate:Sep 2017Reducing pressure in a water distribution system leads to a decrease in water leakage, decreased cracks in pipes, and consumption decreases. Pressure management includes an advanced type called remote real-time control. Here pressure control ...Read more
Author:Page, Philip R; Abu-Mahfouz, Adnan MI; Mothetha, Matome LDate:Aug 2017Low and constant pressure can be maintained throughout a water distribution system by setting the pressure at remote consumer locations and using the pressure to control the speed of a variable speed pump (VSP). The prospect of incorporating ...Read more
Author:Adedeji, K; Hamam, Y; Abe, B; Abu-Mahfouz, Adnan MIDate:Jun 2017Water is a precious natural resource; human survival and nearly all modes of economic production depends on water. The efficient use of water resources is a subject of major concern for water utilities around the world. Within the last years, ...Read more
Author:Adedeji, KB; Hamam, Y; Abe, BT; Abu-Mahfouz, Adnan MIDate:Feb 2018In water distribution networks (WDNs), water loss through leaking pipes is inevitable, as it constitutes a major threat to the operational services of water utilities. While water utilities are keen to providing an adequate supply of water ...Read more
Author:Page, Philip R; Abu-Mahfouz, Adnan MI; Yoyo, SDate:Aug 2016Remote real-time control is currently the most advanced form of pressure management. Here the parameters describing pressure control valves (or pumps) are changed in real-time in such a way to provide the most optimal pressure in the water ...Read more
Author:Abu-Mahfouz, Adnan MI; Hamama, Y; Page, Philip R; Djouani, K; Kurien, ADate:Aug 2016South Africa is a water scarce country with limited water resources and steadily growing water demand. Unacceptably high water losses and non-revenue water threaten our water resource security as well as the financial viability of municipal ...Read more
Author:Abu-Mahfouz, Adnan MI; Hamam, Y; Page, Philip R; Adedeji, KB; Anele, AO; Todini, EDate:Mar 2019The impact of climate change and increasing urbanisation throughout the world has forced water utility managers to increase the efficiency of water resources. Reduction of real (or physical) water losses plays a crucial role in improving the ...Read more
Author:Page, Philip R; Abu-Mahfouz, Adnan MI; Piller, O; Mothetha, Matome L; Osman, Muhammad SDate:Jun 2017One way of reducing water leakage, pipe bursts and water consumption in a water distribution system (WDS) is to manage the pressure to be as low as possible. This can be done by adjusting a pressure control valve (PCV) in real-time in order ...Read more
