If you deal with highly-combustible gases in the upstream, midstream, or downstream segments in the oil and gas industry, you know how challenging it can be to manage their risk. On both onshore and offshore refineries, these gases can explode when exposed to high temperatures. Hence refineries must adhere to stringent regulations. Gas detectors are installed in specific places to allow for the continuous monitoring of the release of harmful gases in a controlled manner and detect gas leaks to trigger safety protocols when needed.

High-risk areas demand continuous monitoring

Dealing with highly-combustible gases in the upstream, midstream, or downstream segments in the oil and gas industry requires intense knowledge of risk management. On both onshore and offshore refineries, these gases can explode when exposed to high temperatures. Hence refineries must adhere to stringent regulations. Gas detectors are installed in specific places. They allow for the continuous monitoring of the release of harmful gases in a controlled manner. They can also detect gas leaks to trigger safety protocols when needed. Read More
The Intelligent Water Networks (IWN) program are a partnership between VicWater, Victorian water corporations, and DELWP that investigates new technologies and innovations to meet common challenges such as population growth, ageing infrastructure and climate variability more efficiently.

Intelligent Water Networks – Innovation on tap

Innovation leads to a better way of doing things through new products and services or improved processes and systems. That leads to more efficient or effective desired outcomes. The desired result in the Victorian water sector is the continued delivery of high-quality, sustainable, reliable and affordable water and wastewater services to customers throughout our water networks. There are many ways in which the sector is embracing innovation to help it achieve this outcome. Read More

Iota is introducing digital meters throughout the South East Water catchment area, including Patterson Lakes

Digital meters reduce water leaks and bill shock

Identifying leaks early has prevented an average of $150 in unnecessary usage charges from being added to a customer’s next bill according to South East Water. As the cost of living has increased, customers continue to be conscious of their bills. They have higher expectations of utilities to inform them of their usage and potential issues.

Taggle smart meters have helped councils detect leaks and reduce water consumption

Smart water meters detect leaks and reduce consumption

In 2015, the Dubbo Regional Council looked into smart water meter technology not only to modernise the ageing infrastructure in place, but to streamline water usage and get information about how the necessary resource could be better managed and therefore make savings on usage.
