Controlling storage and flow in the water networks
The control and storage of the water flowing through the foul and surface water networks is becoming an increasingly important challenge for engineers within the water UK companies. By utilising good engineering practice and proven control solutions these challenges may be overcome and show efficiencies of cost and performance. The products within this section can assist in these areas. The ALPHEUS family of mechanical flow control units are designed to accurately and reliably control the pass forward flows throughout an impounding upstream head range using non-powered technology thus enabling compliance with discharge rates and possible reduction of storage volumes. Should a powered solution be preferred or required then the ActuSlide system, a powered flow control, is an ideal alternative. Underutilised storage within the existing network asset can be maximised using good flow control solutions to increase storage capability whilst reducing the need for investment into new build storage chambers and tank sewers.
