Introduction• In the last three decades water has increased dramatically in value
and cost in both the clean water and waste utilities. • This is due to a number of factors, in particular environmental
issues, population growth, urbanization, and in some areas climate change.
• Water will never again be a free commodity, and indeed the cost is likely to go on rising at an even faster rate.
• The Water and Waste utilities now realize that the implementation of industry standard control, SCADA, plant information and flow accounting are now fully justifiable and that data quality is vital to the stewardship of their valuable water assets.
• The paper covers the real $ benefits of implementing PI and SigmaFine to cover flow balancing and accounting and data quality improvements which can be over 2 million $ per year for a 5
million household utility.

Overview• The PI implementation data in this paper comes from
the experiences of Instem Beaver Valley, the distributor of PI in the UK
• The SigmaFine data comes from the experiences of the author on 1 pilot and 2 commercial projects implementing SigmaFine in the Water industry to improve data quality.
• In addition to work on the projects, the author conducted a study involving 6 large water companies in the UK on the $ benefits of improving data quality via data reconciliation

Problems with the old Architecture
• To much customised hardware and software• Supplier locks user into high costs and low
performance compared to new solutions• Difficult and expensive to expand• knowledge of the system disappears which leads
to misuse of data and degradation of data quality• Result is low data quality to the user
• Bad business decisions, • E.g.money spent on wrong meters, costly manual
studies to give robust water balances and on leakage detection

The Solution• Change OMS level to PI based standard
systems• Install SigmaFine to audit, test improve data
quality• Migrate SCADA to standard PC and Fieldbus
based systems over time• This paper majors on improving data quality
since such a project can have a significant hard ROI which can help pay for the other two enabling technologies

PI in the water industry• PI is being used in the UK to supplement
and replace the existing OMS systems• As existing OMS systems become more
expensive and difficult to maintain more systems will transfer to cross industry standard systems such as PI
• Meanwhile PI becomes an enabler for SigmaFine data reconciliation for improved data quality

UK Regulator Ofwat reporting requirements
Section 2 Chapter 10 of July Return Reporting requirements& definitions manual
Water delivered forms the majority of the water balance. A company's approach to Table 10 can validate any assumptions used to estimate water delivered components. Ofwat encourages companies to estimate each component of distribution input and compare the sum of these with measured distribution input. Where there is a small discrepancy (say less than I or 2%) this can be allocated to those components with the greatest uncertainty. A large discrepancy suggests that a review of a company's estimating process is required, as it is clearly not satisfactory for a company to be unable to account fully for its major product.
The company should give an explicit explanation of any reconciliation adjustment, indicating which water balance components have received the adjustment using the Maximum Likelihood Estimation method. Where the company's estimating process has been reviewed the company should provide a full briefing; outlining the degree of the discrepancy, which components were reviewed, what assumptions were altered, and is so why, and which water balance components needed improvement.
22

Ofwat reporting requirements
To estimate distribution losses (Mld) companies should use the Integrated Flow Method. The resultant leakage level should then be checked against monitored night flows. Companies should therefore use the Integrated Flow Method and the Minimum Night Flow Method in conjunction, as a means to substantiate their estimation of leakage.
Ofwat would also encourage companies to support estimates with effective data monitoring systems; an example would be a domestic consumption monitor used by Severn Trent Water to support their estimate of unmeasured household per capita consumption.
Ofwat would also expect to see the impact of metering on some water delivered components:
23

Ofwat reporting requirements Distribution input (Mld
Reliability Grade A The sum of the separately estimated water balance components reconcile with the measured volume of distribution input to within 1-2%. There has been no adjustment made to measured distribution input other than as a result of the aforementioned reconciliation; that is, the sum of the water balance components with measured distribution input. Measured distribution input has been estimated from water-into-supply meters which record 95% of the volume of distribution input, and the meters have been used and regularly recalibrated in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations.
Reliability Grade B The sum of the separately estimated water balance components reconcile with the measured volume of distribution input to within 5% but not to within 2%. There has been no adjustment made to measured distribution input, other than as a result of the aforementioned reconciliation; that is, the sum of the water balance components with measured distribution input. Measured distribution input has been estimated from water-into-supply meters which record 90% of the volume of distribution input, and the meters have been used and regularly recalibrated in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations.

Ofwat reporting requirements Overall water balance
Reliability Grade AThe water balance components reconcile with measured distribution input to within 2%. An explicit explanation for any reconciliation adjustment is given and an adjustment has been made to distribution input or has been distributed between water balance components. Water-into-supply meters have been used and recalibrated in accordance with the manufacturers recommendation. The water balance components have been separately estimated and reconcile with the equivalent residual of the water balance. 90% of the volume of distribution input (not including distribution input) has been awarded a reliability band of A or B within the separately estimated water balance components.
Reliability Grade BThe water balance components do not reconcile with measured distribution input to within 5%, hence an adjustment has been made to distribution input or has been distributed between water balance components using the Maximum Likelihood Estimation technique. Water-into-supply meters have been used and recalibrated in accordance with the manufacturers recommendation. The water balance components have been separately estimated and reconcile with the equivalent residual of the water balance. 90% of the volume of distribution input should have been awarded a reliability band of A or B within the separately estimated water balance components.

Conventional Wisdom on Data Quality
• Engineering and accounting data are different• Meter errors balance out in the long run• Volume balances are the same as mass
balances• Mass balances are simple• Mass balances are impossible• Manual estimates are not important• Accounting data does not matter• Custody transfer measurements are correct• Inventory measurements have no variance
31
http:\\www.rexsoft.com
IT Services for Process & Manufacturing Industries
Measures of Data Quality • Completeness
• Meters, inventories, Transactions, Composition, Densities
• Redundancy• How many times is the same volume measured
• Precision• What is the variance of the measurement device
• Accuracy• How is the measurement compared to a standard

Data reconciliation• Data reconciliation is a systematic way of using all
the available information about a process or system or business to improve consistency and accuracy
• Very often some information is overlooked• This information can be flows, inventories, levels, ,
meter accuracies, loss estimates and equations i.e.. mass balances, component balances, energy balances
• Sigmafine is an advanced data reconciliation package designed for the process and utility industries

The mathematics• The SigmaFine Data reconciliation algorithm
distributes all the errors in proportion to the confidences on the data (e.g. meter readings) so that:
• All the balances are precisely satisfied• the total sum of the perturbations on the
data is minimised• The sum is the squared deviation normalised by
the confidence on each piece of the data.• This is a large constrained minimum sum of
errors squared problem and uses a Kalman filtering algorithm.

The history of data reconciliation
• Data reconciliation has been used for 20 years in the Oil and Petrochemical sector
• It produces accurate material, energy and component balances
• It helps the accountants track expensive feed, intermediates and products and account for losses
• Before SigmaFine, data reconciliation was expensive and cumbersome to use

How SigmaFine deals with inventories
For irregularly shaped tanks or reservoirs, SigmaFinehas an automatic built in “strapping” feature
The vesselis dividedinto a number of slices and each slice has an area associated with it. The program interpolates linearly between the slices to calculate the area at anydepth and thus the change in volume for any change in depth.

Experience so Far with SigmaFine in the Water
industry
• Three projects so far• Large ring main flow balance (circa 90
meters)• Distribution area flow balance• Treatment works flow balance
57
http:\\www.rexsoft.com
IT Services for Process & Manufacturing Industries
Lessons learnt• Treatment plant have lots of redundancy in meters
and this can be used to significantly increase the quality (i.e.accuracy) of the flows into the distribution areas. This can go from a tolerance of +/-5% or worse to to +-.5%
• SigmaFine data reconciliation studies should be done before planning new (distribution) meter projects• This can reduce number of meters and ensure they are in
the optimum location. This can save once of costs in $millions!!
• There are many intangible benefits form implementing data reconciliation projects including better retention of network knowledge
58
http:\\www.rexsoft.com
IT Services for Process & Manufacturing Industries
Lessons learnt• Many meters have biases or slope errors• These can be soft calibrated using results if
reconciliation• Bad meter detection is very useful since all
water companies have shortages of maintenance man-hours
• Large undetected flows or flows in opposite direction to anticipated can be present especially in old networks.
• Consistent knowledge of network topology is rare

Cost benefit analysis• A single undetected leak of treated
water can cost £50,000 a year• An investment decision made too soon

BenefitsThe following benefit calculations are based on one large municipal water company supplying 5 million households with a cost of 75c per household per day and a value of water delivered of $1.5 per M3. Leakage rate is assumed to be at 7 litres per hour per property with a target leakage rate ( i.e. where the cost of further reductions balances the cost of repairing leaks) of 4 Litres per hour per property
per yearBilling improvement $204,400saving due to incident prevention equal to cost of lost supply $79,489value of saved leakage at marginal cost ex treatment works $490,560total saving from reducing by one engineer re leakage $80,500Chlorine reduction $2,862Saving from better shared processing billing $225,000One man month saving for Offwat Data preparation $6,708savings due to increased water price from better negoitiation with regulator: $536,550savings due to increased water price from better negoitiation with regulator: $300,000network engineer saving from improved network problem detection. $80,500leakage reduction by better historical performance reporting $286,160value of improvement from reduced dosing at treatment works $110,250saving from reduced power at treatment works $30,000saving from reduced power at sewage works $180,000improved process knowledge $1,050,000Instrument engineer saving from improved metering problem detection. $80,500network engineer saving from improved network problem detection. $80,500
total yearly saving $3,823,979total net present value assuming a ten year life at a discount rate of 10.00% $30,047,281
