Introduction In municipal water distribution and treatment plant design, the butterfly valve is often treated as a commodity specification—a “set and forget” component. However, statistical data from utility asset management plans suggests that valve failure during critical isolation events (such as main breaks) occurs in approximately 15-20% of aged assets. The cost of a seized […]

Flow Equalization in Wastewater Treatment Flow equalization is an essential component of modern wastewater treatment systems. It involves the use of basins or tanks to store and balance incoming wastewater flow, mitigating the impact of fluctuations in flow rate and concentration of pollutants. In wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), consistent and controlled flow ensures that subsequent […]
