Supmea 9 parameter water station settled in the world's highest reservoir under construction

Recently, the Supmea 9-parameter water monitoring station was installed at the Pagu Reservoir in Tibet, the world’s highest-altitude reservoir currently under construction.

The Pagu Reservoir is situated in Nimu County, Lhasa City, at an extreme altitude of 4,660 meters. The project faces harsh environmental challenges, including thin air, cold temperatures, low oxygen levels, and significant temperature fluctuations between day and night. These conditions impose stringent demands on the entire set of equipment used in the project.

"In such an extreme environment, the water station must address challenges like frozen water sources, a cold climate, and low air pressure at high altitudes. From the frost protection design of the water intake system to the installation and commissioning of monitoring equipment, every step is crucial to ensure accurate water quality data collection and the long-term stable operation of the equipment," said Mr. Wang from Supmea's Industry Development Department.

Mr. Wang explained that to adapt to the challenging high-altitude environment, this water quality monitoring system incorporates several key technologies, including an anti-freezing water intake device, a heating and insulation panel cabinet, and a wind-solar hybrid power supply.

Due to limitations posed by the geographical environment, infrastructure, and technical capabilities, real-time data transmission and monitoring management in high-altitude remote areas presents a complex engineering challenge.

Mr. Wang added, "Using 4G technology, we have enabled real-time remote transmission of water quality data, allowing the reservoir management team to continuously monitor water quality dynamics, providing scientific support for environmental decision-making."

As a key water conservancy project in the Tibet Autonomous Region, the Pagu Reservoir will, upon completion, address the drinking water safety needs of more than 30,000 residents in Nimu County, Lhasa. It will also expand and improve irrigation over 40,800 mu of land, playing a crucial role in promoting local economic development and maintaining border stabil

“We are honored to contribute to such a significant livelihood project, and we look forward to delivering professional process automation solutions for more water conservancy initiatives, ensuring safer and higher-quality water resources for communities," Mr. Wang said.
