Elipse Water, a new solution for water & wastewater
Elipse Software’s platform provides a holistic view of the whole network and its elements, detects leakage, and predicts consumption
The history of automation of Brazilian sanitation systems is closely connected to the history of Elipse Software itself. For over 37 years, Elipse has been a constant presence in the Sanitation sector in Brazil, continuously promoting its modernization and efficiency. Nowadays, 78% of state-owned companies, 64% of private water concessions, and 50% of Brazilian municipalities with more than 50 thousand inhabitants, use Elipse E3 to better control their water distribution and sewage treatment networks.
These numbers, plus the demands established by the Brazilian New Regulatory Framework for Sanitation, as well as the challenges presented by Industry 4.0, were the driving force behind the writing of the new chapter of this history: Elipse Water. Developed by Elipse Software, Elipse Water is aimed specifically at the challenges faced by water & wastewater companies. As the latest step in Elipse E3’s evolution, Elipse Water takes sanitation management and control to a whole new level, boosting the operations’ efficiency, safety and sustainability.
In order to grant access to the improvements introduced with the new software, all Elipse E3 applications can easily migrate to Elipse Water. The system is responsible for real-time acquisition, monitoring, control, and data recording of processes, providing alarms, graphic interface, and communication between devices. It also adds other specific features to the distribution and treatment of water and effluents.
Elipse Water provides a comprehensive, holistic view of the whole network, optimizes the decision-making process and the response to events, and can apply to operations of all sizes, from smaller plants to larger control centers. Featuring a series of native sanitation objects, Elipse Water cuts the time dedicated to developing screens in 90%, while also standardizing types of measurement, such as flow, pressure, and level, for example.
With a graphic tool designed for modelling hydraulic nets, Elipse Water allows adding and connecting elements such as: junctions, water pipes, reservoirs, tanks, consumption points, pumps, valves, and MCDs (Measurement and Control Districts) settings. From this model, it is possible to spot, in a standardized and contextualized way, all features, properties, and modes of each component on the network, how they are connected to each other and how they work, which allows automatically generating simplified schematic views of the operation.
Users who don’t want to go through the whole modelling process can simply import the systems registration, be they in GIS format or any other existing hydraulic modelling such as EPANET. To search for information regarding any variable in the process (such as a pump’s speed, for example) quickly, they can ask the Elipse Water system directly via ElipseChatBot, which uses Artificial Intelligence.
To avoid water wastage, which is a problem faced by sanitation companies, the solution also features a module for leakage detection that monitors indexes of distribution losses and turnover. Additionally, users can follow available, consumed, lost, and billed volumes at any desired time interval. This control is made possible by its integration with Elipse Plant Manager, the platform by Elipse Software that provides a more refined, contextualized data analysis.
Thus, it is possible to not only follow the hydraulic network’s behavior in real time, but to also predict the average consumption of each MCD. In conclusion, this is a solution whose operational intelligence makes sanitation processes even more efficient than before, and which can be easily accessed from any mobile device (smartphones or tablets) via Elipse Mobile.
From October 22nd to 24th, Elipse Water will be introduced at Fenasan 2024 (National Sanitation & Environment Fair). Regarded as the largest fair of this sector in Latin America, Fenasan will take place at Expo Center Norte, in São Paulo, Brazil. The central theme of this edition is “Environmental sanitation: a fundamental condition for tackling climate change”. The event will be carried out by AESabesp (Association of Sabesp Engineers) alongside AESAN (Association of Sanitation Specialists).
