This slide presentation outlines a study on automatic meter reading (AMR) alarms for reverse meter flow. The presentation begins with renewed concerns with backflow, current trends in meter reading techniques, backflow and leakage concerns, backflow risks from distributionsystem pressure fluctuations, and continues with communication through AMIadvanced meter infrastructure, MLOG Acoustic Monitoring, the acousticmonitor to listen for leaks, AMR Fixed Network and MLOG, leak reduction andbackflow reduction; backflow protection- the Neptune Encoder; testing of backflow monitoringpilot site, Connellsville, PA; AMR fixed network; backflow and surge; and, hydropneumatic tanks as a surge mitigationoption.
