Severn Trent Water is undertaking a comprehensive program to improve air valve performance in high grease and fat conditions across their network. This is part of a wider work program to ensure that all the Sewage Air Valves on the Severn Trent network meet a minimum and maintainable standard. This case study explores the implementation of BERMAD C50
Tapping Into Efficiency: The Unseen Potential of Non-Revenue Water - In the vast and intricate world of water utilities, a significant challenge persistently affects the efficiency and sustainability of water systems worldwide. This challenge is known as non-revenue water (NRW).
Despite the problems of corrosion, weight, and appearance, in the realm of the waterworks industry, ductile iron has long held its prominence due to its ability to withstand high nominal pressure levels and its relative reliability.
In our recent webinar “BERMAD Air Control in Sewage & Wastewater Applications”, our waterworks expert, Wes Caudle, discussed the importance of air valves in sewage & wastewater systems for efficient operation and protection from vacuum conditions and surge pressure. Our discussion covered the design, selection, and operation of air valves in sewage &
