How Pressure Management Workss
Utilities provide water at high pressure
• Service level everywhere all the time
High pressure = More loss• More water from leaks: $10B USD • High pressure causes more bursts
Target: Reduce pressure while providing quality service
• Based on DMAs• Monitor pressure of critical point (P3) • Control pressure at DMA entry so that P3
is at the required level• Requires ability to constantly monitor and
control pressure and flow
Dynamic Pressure Management
Advantages• Deals with all leaks - undetectable and detectable• Fast ROI – optimized results• Quick to implement • Immediate measurable results – up to 50% reduction in
leaks• Long time benefits: burst reduction, lower maintenance • Cheaper than other methods• Provides critical information to Improve operations• Independent of other methods
Galcon Dynamic Pressure Management System
G-DPM is an Intelligent DMA and Dynamic Pressure Management solution to significantly reduce water and revenue loss from leakage
Unique capabilities Combining IT and Control Centralized management and optimization
System level considerations can be taken Local control
Control is localized and independent Data management and analysis
Provide added value through information database and support of decision making processes

G-DPM Pressure Optimization: Combining IT & Control
DMAs are equipped with– Galcon Controller– PRV in the DMA Entry
Pressure Monitor at the Critical Point
Pressure and flow is transmitted via GPRS to the G-DPM Management Application
Optimal pressure policy is determined for each DMA
Policy is downloaded to the Controller remotely and is applied

Pressure Management Controller
• State-of-art controller works with any pressure reducing valve equipped with a hydraulic pilot.
• 3 different modes • Pressure – Flow
• Adjust pressure according to the flow • Pressure – Time
• Adjust pressure according to preset time table
• Exceptional Days• Different routine for specific days
Pressure Management Controller
• Additional Highlights• Highly durable and reliable• Remote connectivity and management • Maintenance free- up to 5 years of
battery operation• Easily operated on site with display
and control buttons• Emergency-mode setting - circumvent
normal setting• Input for flow meter • Adjustable rate of logging• IP-68 Standard
G-DPM Management: Web-based
DMA management is via standard web
• Anytime, anywhere
• Secure
• Easy to use
• System can be configured to work at the premises of the utility or as a “cloud” service
G-DPM Management: Central Management
Central application to manage all aspects of the system Set policy from center
to all DMAs Central database for
all information
• Policy and recommendation at system level
G-DPM Management: Feedback & Optimization
Feedback , Optimization & Analysis
• Analysis and optimization tools to determine best policy
• “Learning” solution – adapts to changes
• Constant improvement of results
• Full reporting and alerts – for critical decision making
Pressure Reducing Valve
