Hawido AG & Tesenso @ Abu Dhabu Sustainability Week
As the first major sustainability event following the UN Climate Change Conference in Glasgow 2021, Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week 2022 brought together the global community. Participants included state presidents, prime ministers, policymakers, industry experts, technology pioneers and young sustainability leaders. Sustainability is no longer just a trendy word or an economic advantage, but a responsibility that every company, every state bears in the social, environmental and economic spheres.
Switzerland as a worldwide leading and reliable partner in the field of innovation can help to achieve the set goals of all nations as well as Switzerland and the UAE in the field of sustainability. So it was no surprise that at the Swiss Pavilion of Switzerland Global Enterprise, Tesenso GmbH and its partner Hawido AG were on hand to promote their technology in a joint effort. The two companies seized the opportunity to showcase one of their best innovative solutions they have to offer in the field of water supply.
The companies complement each other perfectly. Hawido, with its control of entire water networks on a digital level, provides the cornerstone of the solution presented. Tesenso, as an expert in the IoT area, combines the control with the holistic software and hardware solution to enable direct measurement and retrieval at any time from anywhere.
Added value
The value proposition that comes out of this for customers is nothing less than, "Save the world's most precious resource and lead by example."
Water is the new oil of the 21st century and already a very scarce commodity in many places around the world. Even in the UAE's event country of high temperatures and cities built in deserts, efficient water use is urgent. On average, two pipes are connected every 6 meters to build a drinking water distribution system. In a large city, there can be over 20,000 such pipe connections. Each of these pipe connections, is a potential point for a leak, especially if the pressure in the network is too high. Even a very small leak in a drinking water pipe can result in a loss of 9 drops of water per minute. Over a year, this adds up to an incredible 6,132 liters of water that can result from a small leak due to high pressure.
Solution
With the water management solution from Hawido AG, a drinking water network of an entire city can be regulated and monitored. Per control valve, the pressure levels, the flow and the strainer can be controlled and remotely flushed out in the individual parts of the water supply. Lower and stable pressure levels in the drinking water lines reduce water loss due to small leaks, and reduce maintenance costs by up to 70%. This ensures efficient use of clean drinking water to protect water, the most important resource, from unnecessary consumption.
