Project Overview
As a trusted provider of fluid measurement solutions, WESDUN exported a batch of LXLC water meters to Kenya, supplying high-precision, durable metering equipment to local water utilities. This collaboration focuses on solving Kenya’s water management challenges, cutting non-revenue water (NRW) losses, and promoting efficient, sustainable water use. The LXLC series, with its advanced technology and adaptive design, has earned strong recognition from the Kenyan partner—laying a solid foundation for WESDUN’s long-term presence in the East African market.
Client Background & Pain Points
Our Kenyan client is a leading local water supply and management company, responsible for water distribution and metering across urban and rural areas. Against the backdrop of rapid urbanization and growing climate change impacts, its water supply system faces key challenges:
- High NRW losses (around 47%), mainly due to inaccurate metering and difficult leak detection.
- Harsh operating conditions: complex water quality with high sediment content, significant temperature swings, and a need for corrosion-resistant, stable water meters.
- Inefficient manual reading—time-consuming, labor-heavy, and prone to errors.
- Diverse use cases, which require meters suitable for both residential and small commercial buildings with flexible installation options.
Client Core Requirements
To address these challenges, the client set clear core requirements for the water meters:
- High metering accuracy (Class C standard) to reduce errors and lower NRW losses.
- Strong environmental adaptability: able to withstand complex water quality and temperature changes, with a long service life.
- Detachable design for easy maintenance, eliminating the need to remove the entire meter from the pipeline.
- Anti-magnetic interference to prevent tampering and ensure data accuracy.
- Compliance with Kenyan industry standards for smooth customs clearance and on-site use.
