BERMAD Waterworks
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.

Pressure Reducing Valves Control Leaching Rate at Chile Copper Mine
The Challenge
Faced with erratic pressure control and inaccurate leaching rate control, a Chilean mining company, Compañía Minera Lomas Bayas S.A., needed an effective solution. The company had been using manually-operated diaphragm valves and orifice plates to control the flow and leaching rate inside the leaching modules, which meant personnel had to be present at all times to manually open and close the diaphragm valves, which incurred high operational costs.
