A Technological Breakthrough inInflow & Infiltration Detection

®

INFLOW & INFILTRATION MICRO DETECTION

In case after case, extensive studies have proven that 80% of I&I originates in just 20% of the collection system.

By having the ability to deliver over 40 times the detection capability of portable-type flow meters, patented iTracking®

technology provides the means to locate and pinpoint inflow and infiltration to within a single pair of adjacent manholes.

250 Feet

Currently available methods for locating I&I, such as portable flow meters, are expensive, time-consuming to install, difficult to maintain, and techno-logically inefficient due to their 2-4 mile upstream piping requirement for accurately ascertaining flow. Alternative methods, such as Nighttime Flow Isolation, require expensive and time-consuming confined space entries while only providing a “snapshot” of true system performance.

Considering the above, it was time for a more technologically advanced and cost-efficient solution capable of pinpointing the sources of I&I down to micro-basins comprised of just a few manholes.

iTracking® is the patented integration of three advanced technologies; low-cost sensors, wireless connectivity and high-speed automated software.

State-of-the-art iTracker® sensors operating on preset time schedules continuously track collection system performance by measuring and recording volumetric changes in wastewater levels between dry day and wet weather events. Upon downloading of logged data to a laptop or PC running iTracking® automated software, uniquely developed algorithms convert each volumetric change to its corresponding value in gallons per minute.

Remote Data Retrieval

When comparing historical purchase and installed costs of conventional doppler-type portable flow meters to iTracker® Sensors, savings of anywhere from 60% to 80% can be immediately realized.

The true cost of any sewer study lies in the ongoing expense of confined-space entry, repetitive maintenance and time-consuming data retrieval. Non-confined space iTracker® installation is accomplished in 15 minutes.

With “above-the-flow” iTracker® technology, the sensor never comes into direct contact with the media being measured. Repetitive maintenance due to fouled sensors, along with loss of critical data is no longer an issue.

Conventional flow meters require physical retrieval of data, which at times, needs to be performed under non-accomodating conditions. Wi-Fi enabled iTrackers allow for remote data retrieval with any Wi-Fi enabled device. Cellular capability is available as an option.

Non-confined Space Installation

Advanced

iTracker® Sensors were engineered with only one thing in mind; to provide inexpensive, quick and safe access to collection system performance data.

Cost is “1/3” that of conventional flow meters; Installation is “15 minutes”; Maintenance is “Zero”; Data retrieval is “Safe”; Software is “Free”.

5

Since 80% of I&I is contributed by 20% of the system, then pinpointing its cause to within adjacently located manholes is the key to a successful Sanitary Sewer Evaluation Study.

When compared to portable flow meters, iTracking® technology decreases previously required 2 to 4 mile basin investigation lengths down to a single pair of adjoining manholes. Through a simple 3-step process, iTracker® Micro Detection Sensors can deliver from 40 to 80 times the I&I detection capability of conventional flow metering systems.

Location AnalysisSmart algorithms embedded within the iTracking® software program calculate mathematical factors representing exact volumetric increases in flow between dry weather days and wet weather events for each major, mini and micro-basin under investiga-tion within the collection system. Simple to under-stand bar charts depict “at a glance” the sites most responsible for contributing the greatest amounts of storm water inflow and infiltration along with bar graphs depicting dry day and groundwater volumes. By visually presenting all of the data within a single chart, the most problematic sites can be quickly identified.

After downloading of sensor data to the iTracking® software program, proprietary algorithms convert each measurement of volumetric change to actual volume in gallons per minute. Then by the simple push of a button, charts, graphs and reports are automatically created describing the exact state of the infrastructure as it relates to Inflow & Infiltration.

• I&I Volume/Day

• I&I Cost/Day

• RDII Volume

• Peak RDII Volume

• Groundwater Infiltration

High visualization bar graphs, developed for each set of collection basins under investigation, instantly highlight all Major, Mini and Micro-Basins responsible for the greatest influx of I&I.

Detailed Hydrographs

Hydrographs report exactly what is transpiring within the collection system on a 5, 10 or 15-minute incremental basis. iTracking analysis programs start off at the Major Basin level and then drill down to greater detail as areas and sub-areas of I&I are identified and ranked by volume. This approach, in concert with a fully comprehensive set of hydro-graphs, greatly speeds up the process of dry and wet weather analysis for understanding the effects of inflow and infiltration. Hydrographs perform an array of engineering functions that greatly assist in providing a complete understanding of collection system performance. These functions include Rainfall Analysis, Groundwater Analysis, Dry vs. Wet Day Analysis, Peak RDII Analysis and Capacity Analysis.

Consolidated ReportsConsolidated analysis reports are generated detailing the effects that both dry and wet weather have upon specifically designated areas within the wastewater collection network. Location, volume and cost data is clearly organized and presented for every major, mini and micro-basin undergoing investigation for suspicion of contributing excessive amounts of inflow and infiltration.

Pinpointing I&I downto Adjacent Manholes

I&I Micro Detection

I&I Micro Detection

iTracking® Micro Detection is based on a simple premise:

This is exactly what Eastech’s iTracking Micro Detection technology is designed to achieve; locateinflow and infiltration down to adjacent manholes simply, safely, quickly and affordably.

Hundreds of independent flow studies have confirmed that 80% of I&I resides in just 20% of thecollection network. It is in this 20% of the system that I&I needs to be discovered. ConventionalDoppler-type flow meters, while able to measure flows in larger basins (2-4 miles) wherewastewater levels remain at heights satisfactory for covering their "bottom-sitting” sensors,have proven themselves incapable of providing the necessary high resolution monitoring requiredfor micro detecting I&I in the smaller diameter pipes (8"-12") that make up 85% of almost everycollection system. This shortcoming presented Eastech with an opportunity for developing asolution not currently possible with conventional flow metering devices.

The key to iTracking Micro Detection is the seamless integration of low-cost sensors, wirelessconnectivity and automated analytical software, delivering results where portable flow meters fallshort. iTracker® Wi-Fi and cellular-enabled sensors simply and safely record wastewater levelsfrom 0 – 100% pipe ID during dry day periods and wet weather events and then convert thosechanges in level to volumetric differences in flow through the use of uniquely developedalgorithms embedded within the iTracking software program. With the simple click of a button,bar charts, line graphs and operating performance reports are clearly presented detailing thecontribution of I&I for each mini and micro-basin within the area under investigation. In manyinstances, the problem is pinpointed down to adjacent manholes without the requirement forexpensive monitoring equipment, confined-space entry, repetitive maintenance or "in the road"data retrieval.

The success or failure of attempts to determine the actual location of I&I does not depend on the length of the sewer evaluation study period but rather on the investigative ability of the detection method employed. With iTracking Micro Detection technology, the time period to pinpoint faulty infrastructure could be as short as one rain event. This single storm approach is the biggest factor in delivering a successful and cost saving I&I detection study.

What municipalities and utilities are ultimately interested in accomplishingis NOT to measure each gallon of I&I but to quickly and cost-efficientlyPINPOINT those areas within the collection network responsible forcontributing the greatest influx of rain and groundwater.

18

iTracking® Micro Detection has the ability to reveal the location of I&I after a single storm event

Low-cost iTracker sensors provide the high-resolution data points required for pinpointing the 20% of faulty infrastructure contributing the majority of I&I.

By strategically placing iTracker sensors upstream of regional flow meters, changes in wastewater volume as small as 1/10” can be observed in both mini and micro-basins.

Maintenance-free iTracker sensors are capable of accurately measuring collection system performance on streets with minimal amounts of homes or commercial facilities.

iTracker sensors are installed from the street level without the need for confined-space entry. Sensor calibration is accomplished in 5 minutes using any Wi-Fi enabled mobile device.

With the simple click of a button, bar charts, line graphs and operating performance reports are clearly presented detailing the contribution of I&I for each mini and micro basin under investigation.

iTracker® Wi-Fi or cellular-enabled sensors simply and safely record wastewater levels from 0–100% pipe ID during dry day periods and wet weather events and then convert those changes in level to volumetric differences in flow through the use of uniquely developed algorithms embedded within the iTracking software program.

In most instances, after just a single storm event, the problem is pinpointed

down to mini and micro basins without the requirement for expensive monitoring

equipment, confined-space entry, repetitive maintenance or "in the road" data

retrieval. This single storm approach is the main factor when it comes to

delivering a successful and cost effective I&I detection study.

How iTracking® Works

19

20

iTracker sensors are strategically distributed within each major basin responsible for allowing the entry of excess volumes of ground and storm water.

Portable flow meters monitor operating conditions in major basins (2-4 linear miles) in order to discover the extent of inflow and infiltration.

“At a glance” iTracking analytics automatically identify the mini basins (1, 2, 5 & 8) responsible for contributing the highest percentages of I&I.

Hydrographs are then created for each Major Basin showing increases in wastewater volume during periods of wet weather.

Having discovered that mini basin 1 is responsible for 30% of total I&I, iTracker sensors are relocated creating (4) micro basins within mini basin 1.

A robotic inspection camera is employed to ascertain the exact cause of the Rain- Derived Inflow & Infiltration (RDII) entering micro basin 1C.

iTracking analytics immediately discover that micro basin 1C, comprised of adjacent manholes 1B - 1C, is contributing 75% of the I&I within all of mini basin 1.

Robotic cameras are capable of providing visual evidence as to whether I&I is due to faulty construction, crumbling pipes or improper installation.
