• Shifting Paradigms: How Proactive Strategies Are Revolutionizing Pipeline Management

  Proactive pipeline maintenance helps utilities address limited resources and aging infrastructure while maximizing return on investment, improving service quality, and building stronger support from customers and stakeholders.

• AVT™ EZ VALVE® And R2M Site Services Ensured The Hot Water Kept Running At UK Hospital

  When a leak and burst was identified on LTHW (low temperature, hot water) 10” pipes in a UK hospital, turning off the water to fix the issue was not an option. The hospital needed its water supply to remain on to ensure it could continue to treat patients. Following an 18-month investigation into the issue, the hospital’s contractor Morris Mechanical Services, contacted AVT’s UK installer R2M Site Services who suggested installing a number of AVT EZ Valves to create control points enabling repairs to be made.

• Oxidation And AOP: The Last Lines Of Defense Against Harmful Algal Blooms

  Secondary metabolites of algae — including algal toxins and taste and odor compounds triggered by a harmful algal bloom — can find their way into source water, creating the risk that they will ultimately reach the water treatment plant to cause water-quality problems. Here is a checklist of considerations for mitigating those effects through cost-effective oxidation, or combined oxidization processes, across a variety of source water conditions.

• The Story Of Your Data

  Data gathering and analysis have become crucial across many, if not all, sectors of our economy, including the water sector. If you consider all the components of data analysis you can start to see its potential to positively impact decision making.

• Vital Fire Suppression Line Remains Live While AVT EZ Valve Is Installed

  A major Texas-based refinery provides significant feedstock flexibility and product diversity to the area’s operations. The plant dates to the early 1900s and following upgrades now produces more than 125,000 barrels per day. A vital element of any refinery is its ability to be constantly ready to respond to a fire, so when the refinery found an inoperable valve on its 12” carbon steel fire suppression line and was in need of a way to add a valve to their system without shutting down the line, their maintenance and repairs contractor, ISS, suggested installing an AVT EZ Valve.
