New ADS Enigma-hyQ For Large Diameter, Non-Metallic Pipe Leak Detection
Multi-Point, Leak Correlating Logger System
ADS LLC recently announced the ADS Enigma-hyQ Leak Correlating Logger System. This non-intrusive leak correlating system is optimized for leak location over long distances in large diameter and non-metallic water distribution pipes. Powered by technology from Primayer Ltd., the ADS Enigma-hyQ is simple-to-use and supported by the U.S. based ADS Environmental Services for training and fast, responsive, customer service.
The Enigma-hyQ is designed for both real-time and pre-programmed, unassisted night-time operation when pressure is the highest and usage the lowest. It uses high-sensitivity hydrophones to directly detect the leak noise through the water, not the pipe wall. The hydrophones are installed on existing fixtures (hydrants, PRVs, and ARVs) to place them in contact with the water for leak noise detection and recording.
“We are very impressed with the ADS Enigma-hyQ,” states Alan Maestas, Leak Detection Coordinator at Albuquerque Bernalillo County Water Utility Authority. “It works on all pipe materials from PVC to AC and on all metallic lines. We used the Enigma-hyQ on a 16 inch CCYL line at over 1,600 feet. The leak was less than 200 feet away from one of the loggers and more than 1,400 feet away from the other logger. Both loggers recorded the leak.”
The Enigma-hyQ comes packaged in convenient water tight, shock resistant carry cases with: (3) Enigma loggers, (3) hydrophones, and connecting cables. It is one of many new products from ADS in a full line of cost-efficient, advanced Water Loss Control Products for leak detection and flow measurement. These technologically innovative instruments form an integrated approach to system monitoring and leakage control for water distribution networks. The Enigma-hyQ comes with a 2 year hassle-free U.S. based warranty. Products can be purchased through an experienced sales team or bought online at www.adsenv.com. ADS also offers field experts with over 113 years in the water services business as the Pitometer Group to perform training, leak detection, or other water services.
