German-headquartered firm NIVUS has won its first AMP6 framework contract with Thames Water.

The Leamington based company will be supplying ultrasonic as well as radar flow measurement systems to Thames Water´s sewage treatment and channel networks under the £multi-million framework.

Commenting on the contract win, Marcus Fischer, Managing Director of NIVUS GmbH & NIVUS Ltd said:  

“We are both proud and pleased to win this framework for the first time.“  

According to Nivus, the win underscores the ambition of the flow measurement supplier for their state of the art system solutions, which includes highly accurate flow systems detecting real-time flow profiles even under difficult hydraulic conditions.

David Miles, Thames Business Manager and Environmental Manager with NIVUS UK commented:

“I look forward to the cooperation. The NIVUS flow measurement products bring a complement and consequent addition for Thames Water to their previous flow measuring systems in use.”

 NIVUS offers new flow measurement systems with easy and quick assembly for pipe systems and also for open channel measurement. According to the company, their pipe sensor solutions offer additional advantages in terms of cost and sustainability, in particular for bigger pipes.

NIVUS said by listening to market needs it had identified the potential for a greener, more cost effective and removable flow measurement device for full and partially full pipes that can match the accuracy and applications of conventional flow measurement systems - but at a fraction of the cost.

Alison Southwood, Innovation Manager at NIVUS commented:

“NIVUS is especially characterized by the wide-ranging product portfolio of flow measurement sensors. With a quick assembly and low material needs NIVUS products are a cost-effective and eco-friendly alternative to other measurement method. On the basis of our large product portfolio NIVUS is able offer optimum flow solution for almost every application.”

NIVUS said that at a time when the Internet of Things is no longer only a buzz-word, its smart systems complement the NIVUS flow measurement range.  The smart data logger and transmitter are able to provide data even without mains power supply. To enhance its flow solutions the manufacturer also offers web based data portals as well as a scalable SCADA system for automated multi-site control and overview.
