Why smart pressure management determines PFAS treatment success
Removing PFAS from drinking water requires sophisticated treatment technologies that operate under precise conditions.
PFAS (per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances) contamination is a concern in many countries. In the Unites States this is no longer a localised issue-it's a nationwide crisis. All 50 states, the District of Columbia, and four U.S. territories have detected per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in their water supplies.
Future-Proofing Water Infrastructure in an Era of Change
A valve manufacturer may be just as important as the valves themselves.
Municipal infrastructure decisions are rarely about the next budget cycle. In North America, they are often decisions that affect communities for generations. Pressure reducing valves, altitude valves, surge anticipation systems and flow control infrastructure may sit quietly underground or inside treatment facilities for decades, expected to perform with little fanfare and even less interruption. That reality changes how utilities should think about selecting a control valve supplier. ... Read More
Hamilton pilots real-time pressure zone monitoring system
"We wanted to pilot real-time pressure monitoring, so we chose to retrofit an existing valve with the Cla-Val XP2F monitoring system in one of our more complex pressure districts."
The City of Hamilton’s municipal water distribution system is shaped by the escarpment, making it challenging to deliver water to some 590,000 residents. With an elevation change of approximately 89 to 100 metres between the lower city and the upper city, this Ontario city manages 25 pressure districts with an extensive network of pressure reducing valves (PRVs) to prevent over-pressurization and maintain consistent service levels. ...
