Typical data results
Application 1: Storm sewers
- Localisation of foul water entering the sewer
- Prevention of contamination of surface water
2
Application 2: Foul sewers
-
Localisation of storm water, ground
water & surface water inflows to
prevent frequent (sewer-related)
flooding of urban areas
-
Prevention of hydraulic overloading
of WWTP and pumping stations
SewerOctopus can localize and
determine causes of extraneous water

Incentives to use DTS
surface water pollution
capacity improvement
-> sewer: reduce CSOs
-> WwTP: prevent expansion
flooding of sewers or pumping stations
reduction in energy consumption, pump wear, dosing
chemicals (sewer, WwTP)
reduction in pollutant load via WwTP effluent
“responsibility” to operate systems as designed
