Detecting Pressure Transients

to Prevent Bursts and Protect Water Networks

Inflowmatix, a SUEZ company, specialises in detecting pressure transients, also known as water hammer or surge events, to help water utilities worldwide maintain stable, reliable networks. Our advanced technologies prevent bursts, cracks, leaks, and costly infrastructure damage, delivering trusted solutions across the globe.

At the heart of Inflowmatix’s solution is the seamless integration of advanced hardware and intelligent software. Our high-frequency pressure sensors capture detailed data, while our powerful analytical platform transforms this information into actionable insights.

Together, InflowSense® and InflowNet® provide water utilities with precise, real-time understanding of pressure transients, enabling proactive network management and safeguarding critical infrastructure.

InflowSense to InflowNet process

InflowSense®

InflowSense® devices are high-frequency pressure sensors capturing detailed pressure data at 128 samples per second, enabling precise monitoring of pressure fluctuations and transient events across networks.

InflowNet®

The high-resolution data sent from the devices are processed by InflowNet®, an analytical platform that presents the pressure fluctuations and calculates metrics like Cumulative Pressure Induced Stress (CPIS) to evaluate infrastructure impact, supporting proactive maintenance and risk management. The data is visualised through our software, offering real-time monitoring, pressure analysis, and efficient integration with other systems for comprehensive network management.
