Wastewater Sewer Level Monitoring

Sewer Level Monitoring and Wastewater Management

Preventing overflows and protecting public health through precise sewer level insights

Our IoT device, connected to a radar or float level sensor, collects and transmits real-time data on sewer levels, enabling proactive management and prevention of overflow and blockages. Equipped with rugged technology designed for extreme conditions, it’s the reliable choice for critical infrastructure monitoring.

Understanding our Solution

Managing urban sewer systems is complex, with risks of overflows leading to environmental and public health concerns. With many overflows being reported by the public after they have occured, utilities are looking for ways to proactively manage their wastewater networks to prevent significant overflow events and blockages. 

  • Cost-Efficient Management

    Engineered for affordability in device and cloud management, the Captis solution minimises operational costs. It leverages REST APIs for straightforward integration into downstream systems, negating the need for expensive analytics dashboards.

  • Precision Water Level Monitoring

    With industrial-grade radar level sensors, the solution accurately monitors water levels across varying depths in the wastewater network. It's designed to detect small changes in water levels while minimising false positives and inaccurate readings.

  • Water Ingress Protection and Rugged Design

    Captis devices and sensors are IP68 rated, ensuring it is protected against flood conditions (including full submersion) and is designed to be securely fastened to existing infrastructure, showcasing unparalleled ruggedness and durability.

  • Reliable Data Through Sensor Density

    A dense deployment of sensors (10-20 units) creates a reliable network of data points. This "constellation" approach validates data through cross-referencing, enhancing the overall reliability of the monitoring system.

  • Remote Connectivity in Harsh Conditions

    Equipped with dual antenna capability (internal & external) and leveraging cellular low-powered wide area network technologies (Cat-M1), the Captis ensures uninterrupted connectivity, even in remote and challenging site locations.

  • Longevity and Comprehensive Monitoring

    The device boasts a battery life of 5 years or 5000 data transmissions, with up to 18 programmable external I/O channels for simultaneous data collection across all inputs. The high-end radar level sensor, designed for non-contact measurement with a range up to 15m and accuracy of ±1%, is ideally suited for monitoring in harsh UV environments.

The Solution

The Captis Multi, with its IP68 rating, long-life battery, and advanced connectivity, is ideally suited for remote, precise water level monitoring in harsh environments, offering reliable, low-cost device management and data integrity for comprehensive water management solutions.

The Kallipr Radar Sensor, designed for non-contact level measurement with a high degree of accuracy and durability, excels in monitoring water levels up to 15m, even in harsh UV environments, making it a robust solution for precise flood and sewer monitoring.

The custom-made mounting bracket kit ensures stable and secure positioning of the Captis Multi and radar level sensor, facilitating easy installation and optimal performance in measuring water levels, even in challenging environments.

Success Stories

Sydney Water Invests $15m in Wastewater Sensors

Sydney Water are saving on average $400,000 a month in blockage prevention thanks to a large-scale IoT wastewater monitoring deployment with Kallipr.

It will see the company spend $15m dollars to install over 26,000 devices across 4,600km of wastewater infrastructure. The Captis devices are installed on existing infrastructure and alarm when there is threat of a potential blockage.

Tackling Water Monitoring Challenges at Sea World

As part of their sustainability commitment Seaworld must monitor and report the water quality and volume being expelled into the wider waste water network.

They have effectively brought together three sensors into one cohesive device – so they can monitor water velocity, height, temp, EC, TDS and salinity.
