Hydrelis : Water leak detection

Founded in 2004, Hydrelis develops technologies, products and systems to monitor, and manage and reduce water consumption. 

Hydrelis developed electronics innovation including Ultra Low Power. The CLIP-FLOW is a 100% french. The production lines are located in the sum Woincourt and Gunderschoffenen Alsace. The CLIP-FLOW is an internationally patented and the company received the Special Jury Prize at the National Ministry of Research. 

Hydrelis is a new player in the field of monitoring and protecting networks of drinking water. Launches CLIP-FLOW, which enables individuals, communities and businesses to reduce their water bills through active surveillance: CLIP-flow control, analysis and cutting the water supply in case of anomaly, just like a circuit breaker cut power to incidents. 

An independent and innovative concept 

CLIP-FLOW is autonomous. It works without electrical connection. Installed network head near the counter, CLIP-FLOW acts as a switch and closes the water supply in case of anomalies. 

Innovative, CLIP-Flow Analysis permanently the flow of water in search of a stable flow abnormally long sign of a leak. CLIP-FLOW intelligently adapts to each installation. His reaction time will depend on the magnitude of the leak: the higher the speed is more important trigger quickly. For multiple users, it expects the rate to stabilize thus avoiding tripping. CLIP-FLOW can also identify the speed increases abnormal sign of a ruptured pipeline. He then cut the water in seconds. 

Time for action: 

- For a small leak (flush or tap file) corresponding to a stable flow of 80 l / h, it starts in about 1 hour. 

Important for trouble (leaking underground or open valve forgotten) for a steady flow of 1500L / h, it starts in 12 minutes. 

- In the event of pipeline rupture, it reacts in less than 8 seconds. 

- In case of prolonged inactivity, it can cut water itself as a precaution. 

For special applications, its settings can be changed very easily with a personal computer (PC). 

Water: the new blue gold 

Drinking water is a precious commodity: 

- The individual today is seeking to consume the most useful and possible to prevent leakage invisible. They need ways to monitor and reduce its consumption and alert in case of leakage invisible. 

- In the communities, because of the separation between users and payers, automated monitoring is required. The leaks, accidents, vandalism and any anomalies should be identified and repaired quickly before having a significant impact on water bills. 

- In industry and leisure operators seeking to optimize their water budgets. Quickly identify overuse or leaks that may damage the infrastructure is essential.
