This ABB water technology magazine introduces ABB's latest technologies and solutions in the water sector, including seawater desalination, smart irrigation, remote metering, water-electricity integration, etc., to help users use water resources more efficiently.
ABB Review 4111 provides an overview of ABB’s contributions to water supply, covering desalination technologies, smart irrigation, and remote water metering. The issue highlights how variable speed drives improve energy efficiency in desalination plants and how ABB’s instrumentation can detect and locate leaks in water networks.
Additional articles discuss submarine power cable projects, service best practices, and ABB’s broader sustainability initiatives in the water industry. The publication serves as a technical journal rather than a product manual.
ABB recommends using variable speed drives to adjust motor speed, which lowers pump power consumption because power varies with the cube of speed.
ABB provides instrumentation solutions that enable accurate measurement and remote monitoring of water flow to locate and quantify leaks.
The AHF uses a power quality filter to monitor line current and inject opposite‑phase currents, eliminating harmonics generated by variable speed drives.
