Using ultrasound and thermography to identify problems early can extend the lifespan of pipes and valves, prevent catastrophic leaks and increase productivity throughout a plant.

Higher operating costs, rising consumer scrutiny regarding water quality and a wave of retirements are cause for concern in the water sector. According to the EPA, roughly one-third of the water sector workforce is eligible to retire by 2030. Modernizing water operations can address all of these issues, as well as problems with pump clogs, water pressure, rapid leak detection and equipment breakdowns.
