              Flow measurement for open channels as well as part filled pipes. Optimum results through combination of ultrasonic cross correlation and radar technology.

              Hybrid Flow Measurement
              NivuFlow 7550 is a hybrid measurement system which was particularly developed for flow metering in part filled pipes, channels and surface waters. Mainly in difficult applications the flow meter stands out for reliable results thanks to its advantages by using two measurement technologies.

              Contactless Radar Flow Measurement
              The contactless low-maintenance radar sensor provides reliable operation even at very high discharge velocities with low flow levels. Dynamic hydraulic models for various channel shapes based on varying filling levels enable accurate detection of the real flow rate.

              Ultrasonic Flow Measurement as Overflow Sensor
              The ultrasonic cross correlation sensor can be used as overflow sensor. In such cases the sensor provides reliable and accurate results in overflow situations where radar sensors cannot be used for measuring. Thanks to the flow profile detection and the detection of sedimentation on the bottom the flow rate is determined very accurately. Information on sedimentation is also considered for further measurements using the radar system.

              Ultrasonic Flow Measurement as Redundant Measurement
              The ultrasonic sensor can be used as permanent redundant measurement too. Installing the sensor on the side walls above the sedimentation helps to avoid soiling. The detection of local flow velocities covers the entire channel width and guarantees the determination of very accurate flow profiles. Pre-programmed hydraulic models increase the accuracy of the measurement system.

              NFP (NIVUS Full Pipe) flow meter was developed particularly for flow measurement in full pipes from DN 100 to DN 800. The system is based on the cross correlation principle for slight to heavily polluted media. The NFP combines grid measurements featuring adapted weighting of areas with velocity profile correction.
              The unit stands out for highest measurement accuracy and a very good price-performance ratio. Appropriate NIVUS accessories facilitate installation and maintenance at low costs. The NFP therefore is ideal also to replace obsolete or defective EMFs and other measurement systems. Existing flow meters do not have to be dismantled.

              General description
              Flow measurements are absolutely necessary when it comes to assess the hydraulic conditions of sewage networks or special constructions.
              The importance of portable, power-independent flow meters for determination of infiltration, channel efficiency, sewerage master planning or influent control is hence continuously rising. Reliable and significant data representing typical operational conditions of the measurement places are to be gained with the help of these data.
              It is very often required to carry out the measurements only for a few weeks or months to obtain representative data.

              A measurement system for portable flow measurements basically consists of a transmitter Type PCM for power supply, data entry, indication and data storage plus a sensor for the recording of measurement data.

              Sensor construction as well as the built-in pickups may be customised individually according to the conditions prevailing on site.

                NivuSmart Q is a new measurement method for flow rate detection using two parallel level readings. The levels are measured in a known distance, e.g. by measuring in two consecutive shafts within a sewer system. The NIVUS exclusive metering system is putting geometrical conditions (such as slope, diameter and width of a channel etc.) and latest hydraulic flow models in relation to each other.

                By using site-specific equations it is possible to compute flow rates with a remarkably high accuracy. The accuracy is comparable to other non-contact flow measurement systems. Calibrating the system provides an extra increase in accuracy.

                • Fully immersible (IP68)
                • Mercury-free

                By detecting inclination without the use of shafts it is possible to capture the position of movable weir flaps or other movable and inclinable components such as sluice boards or slide valves without any problems. Overflow volumes or other flow volumes thus can be easily determined by using a Q/h relation or detected angles.
                Existing weir flaps can be easily retrofitted by installing the unit on the inclined plane.

                NDW 2 combines high accuracy and operational safety with robust design.
                The compact unit is free of wear since the measurement principle does not use any movable parts and hence provides reliable measurement results even under flood conditions (IP68).
                NDW 2 provides a 4 - 20 mA signal proportional to the angle of inclination (0 - 90° or 0 - 60°) to obtain overflow data.
                Following devices such as HydraulicCal-culator Plus, NivuCont Plus, NivuFlow, NivuLog or PCS/SCADA systems use flap-specific data to compute accurate overflow volumes.

                Venturi half shells
                The durable corrosion-proof Venturi half shells are easily installed on vertical channel walls by using the accompanying fastening materials. This eliminates the common problems with compact Venturis regarding dimensional accuracy. – If the channel dimension should change simply a correct discharge characteristic based on the correct channel width is used.
                Thanks to being manufactured from stainless steel possible weathering or corrosion due to unknown organic solvents partially contained within the wastewater is avoided. The risk of breaking is avoided as well and the lifespan of the stainless steel half shells is virtually unlimited.

                        Robust measurement system, consisting of transmitter and level probe, for data transmission to the server-based Internet portal "D2W" (Device to Web) via GPRS.
                        The water level data logger measuring and data recording system is for detection of analog readings from connected 2-wire sensors such as pressure probes. The measurement system operates independent from mains power. Sensor and radio transmission system are powered by high-performance Lithium batteries featuring a very long lifetime (approx. 10 years typical). Detected readings are saved on flash memory and will be transmitted to the server-based Device to Web (D2W) Internet portal via GPRS using the built-in quad band modem.

                                      Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is produced as a result from the degradation of biomass. Far flowing distances, long flowing times as well as saving water at constant pollution loads cause the loads to start decomposition even within the channel.

                                      This in turn leads to heavy corrosion of concrete channel constructions and, in combination with water, destroys the channel constructions in the long run. To avoid damaged channels it makes sense to investigate the hydrogen sulfide concentration, which allows to take the appropriate corrective measures.
