iVapps is a UK-based smart engineering company focussed on delivering sustainable solutions for the monitoring, analysis, and flow management of fluids across a range of industries. The patented iVapps solution is the only one in the world that provide data harvesting, live flow access and the creation of isolation points, all via one system. This leads to exceptional cost savings and improved environmental credentials for pipeline operators.Through the use of interchangeable cartridges, operators can monitor their pipeline networks and create a control point using just one valve body. When an issue is detected, the SMART cartridge can be removed, and a VALVE cartridge installed to create a new control point. All this takes place under full-line pressure.The SMART cartridge measures and transmits data such as pressure, flow and temperature to an easy-to-use dashboard or the operators own data management system. The ability for the cartridges to be swapped out at full line pressure means operators can insert, upgrade, calibrate or simply check sensors without shutting down the system as is the current case with conventional data loggers. In addition, every data collection point can be used as an isolation point using VALVE cartridges, which can also be swapped out under full line pressure. The technology behind the solution is 10 years in development to reach the current commercialisation stage. The original pipeline access point designed on a swap out valve replacement model was engineered to allow a valve to be replaced in under 10 minutes at full line pressure. With this ability, the iVapps team engineered the SMART Cartridge allowing for sensor installation and ongoing monitoring of pipeline performance that could be swapped out at any time without disrupting a network. This game changing system is fully patented in its key jurisdictions and has full water industry accreditation. While iVapps is UK based, it services the global markets with its solution.
