Minimize pressure surges at the pump site during rapid demand changes.

Our Solutions

Non-slam or Surge-arresting Air Valve

The Non-slam (NS) or surge arresting (SA) air valves are designed to both allow large air intake, preventing the risk of excessive negative pressure that may cause collapse of the pipe, and to restrict air outflow when discharge air velocity exceeds a threshold value. This creates a slow closing ‘air cushion’ that decelerates the velocity […]

QR - Quick Pressure Relief Valve

The QR – Quick Pressure Relief Valve safeguards the wastewater system by rapidly releasing excess pressure, which prevents surges and water hammer. It opens instantly when pressure exceeds safe levels, and closes slowly at an adjustable pace once pressure stabilizes.

RE Surge-anticipating Valve

The RE – Surge-anticipating Valve reduces or eliminates the risk of pressure surges and water hammer in the event of pump power loss. It does so by instantly opening when the pipeline pressure exceeds safe levels, effectively relieving excess pressure and safeguarding the network.

BC Diaphragm-actuated, Rigid Seal, Pump Control Globe Valve

The BC Diaphragm-actuated, Rigid Seal, Pump Control Globe Valve minimizes pressure surges at the pump site during startup and shutdown. Gradually opening at startup, it then slowly closes before shutdown, ensuring system stability. In the event of a power failure, it closes instantly, protecting the system from disruption.

Surge Tank

A Surge Tank is a surge control device, with pre-charge pressure calculated to deliver the required elasticity to push wastewater into the system following a pump trip, preventing hazardous pressure surges in the system.

PS - Pressure-sustaining/ Relief Valve

The air pressure controlled PS – Pressure-sustaining/ Relief Valve maintains a steady, predetermined pressure in the network, upstream of its location. If the pressure falls below the set pressure, the valve closes drip-tight. This is a simplified and more reliable alternative to a spring-loaded relief valve.
