Precise Wastewater Measurement in Open Channels with Q-Eye Radar

How GWF Supports Veolia Energia Lodz with Precise, Traceable Wastewater Data for Billing, Cost Control, and Regulatory Compliance

Efficient and sustainable energy supply depends not only on high-performing plant infrastructure, but also on transparent operating data. In power generation facilities, contaminated media, changing temperatures, open channels and existing pipe structures can make precise wastewater flow measurement particularly challenging.

At Veolia Energia Łódź, these were exactly the conditions that had to be addressed. The combined heat and power plant is a key element of the city’s energy infrastructure, supplying district heating and electricity to a large part of the region. For precise billing of water and sewage services, identification of cost sources and fulfilment of legal requirements, a reliable measurement solution was required that could be installed without interfering with existing infrastructure and without interrupting plant operations.

This reference case demonstrates how GWF implemented a robust, non-contact, and digitally networked solution for wastewater flow measurement using Q-Eye Radar, INFINIO® STREAM , and independent verification via SONICO® EDGE . The focus is on secure installation on a DN300 pipe, continuous transmission of real-time data to an external monitoring system, and the ability to identify previously undetected discharges and derive targeted corrective measures.
