NIVUS framework 3 Flow wins measurement sites with Thames Water one transmitter The manufacturer gets the 3+3 year contract for NIVUS GmbH their the first time with theirexpand flow range products NivuFlow familywithfor use The Leamington750 based company its German headquarters will be supplying ultrasonic as well with up to 9 sensors as radar flow measurement systems to Thames Water´s sewage treatment channel networks. The manufacturer presents and a transmitter The multi-million value framework offers many capable of simultaneously measuring up to possibilities to measurement co-op and to gain synergies three different places with 9 on bothvelocity sides. sensors in total. This means less flow installation expenses, low space requirements for “We are both proud and pleased to win this installation in control cabinets and simultaneous framework for the first time“ says Marcus Fischer, access to 3 measurement sites using merely one Managing Director of NIVUS GmbH & NIVUS communication interface.

For example there are high distribute the number of flow velocity sensors accurate flow systems real-time flow per measurement placedetecting as desired. Moreover it is profiles even under hydraulic conditions. possible to use up todifficult 9 sensors for a measurement place featuring a very large measurement cross David Miles, Thames Business Manager and section. This allows highly accurate flow rate Environmental Manager with NIVUS UK “I look measurement even in very wide canals and flumes forward to the cooperation. The NIVUS flow featuring poor hydraulic conditions. measurement products bring a complement and The transmitter furthermore provides the option

NivuFlow 750 M9 completes the Especially for bigger pipes their pipe sensor manufacturer’s family of solutions offer additional advantages in terms of cross correlation devices cost and sustainability. Listening to market needs for open channels and NIVUS identified the potential for a greener, more flumes as well as for cost effective and removable flow measurement part filled and full pipes. device for full and partially full pipes that can match the accuracy and applications of conventional flow Thanks to latest measurement systems but at a fraction of the cost. numeric discharge models integrated, “NIVUS is especially characterized by the widethe NivuFlow 750 ranging product portfolio of flow measurement units provide even sensors. With a quick assembly and low material more accurate and more reliable flow rate needs NIVUS products are a cost-effective and determination even under difficult measurement eco-friendly alternative to other measurement conditions. Based on the ultrasonic cross methods“, says Alison Southwood, Innovation correlation method, individual velocities are Manager. “On the basis of our large product detected in different levels within the flow cross portfolio NIVUS is able offer optimum flow section. This allows the calculation and indication solution for almost every application.” of real 3D flow profiles in real time. Influencing
Smart systems complement the NIVUS flow parameters such as canal shape, discharge measurement range needed especially in times behaviour and are considered to where IoT is notwall onlyroughness a buzz-word. The smart data calculate the flow rate. are able to provide data logger and transmitter even without mains power supply. To enhance the Comprehensive diagnostic functions facilitate flow solutions the manufacturer offers web based commissioning and maintenance of the transmitters data portals as well as a scalable SCADA system and help operators to save time and costs. for automated multi-site control and overview.
