Inflow and infiltration in sewer systems wreak havoc on the environment by overwhelming treatment facilities, leading to untreated sewage discharge into water bodies. This influx of stormwater and groundwater not only contaminates natural habitats but also strains infrastructure, causing backups and overflows.
Managing these issues incurs massive costs for municipalities, demanding extensive repairs, increased treatment efforts, and heightened maintenance, ultimately impacting both the environment and budgets significantly.
Locating faulty underground wastewater infrastructure has always been a daunting task. Finally, that is all about to change. iTracking®, along with its groundbreaking Computer Generated Imagery technology (Playback®), is poised to transition the complexities of Inflow and Infiltration (I&I) detection from a difficult and expensive process to one that is simple and inexpensive.
With a click of the Playback® button, users are immediately presented with an animated video showing the relationship between wastewater levels and weather events leading up to the I&I episode in question. Specifically developed algorithms quickly isolate and determine those sites responsible for the highest volumes of I&I. Each problematic site is then encircled with a “red ring” for quick identification. I&I is isolated to within adjacent monitored sites.
iTracker Smart I&I Detection sensors are packed with powerful features that give you the ability to monitor, analyze and alert on a single platform. Designed with both Bluetooth and cellular capability, sensors can be deployed in just 20 minutes, do not require confined space entry and are maintenance-free.
