Aguas de Saltillo

Mechanical meters were initially installed but were very difficult to calibrate and required continual maintenance as a result of the water's high mineral content.
Wear on the mechanical parts negatively impacted accuracy.
Meters required separate data logging devices to record measurements over time.

Aguas de Saltillo implemented a water network sectorization (WNS) project to more efficiently manage the complex process of distributing water from multiple reservoirs. Flow instrumentation was needed at the inlets for leak detection, quantification of water loss and recording of measurement data.

Aguas de Saltillo tested a battery-powered SITRANS F M MAG 8000 electromagnetic flowmeter equipped with a built-in GSM/GPRS Wireless Communication Module and radiometric pressure transmitter.
Decision to replace all existing mechanical bulk meters with the MAG 8000.

“Including the MAG 8000 with GSMas part of our WNS project has greatly benefited the city of Saltillo. Withthe consistently accurate flow data we receive from these devices, we’reable to make more educated decisions to better protect our water supply– which means we can better protect our people, too.”
