• What Happens When The Power Drops Out?

  Learn what happens to pump stations that are fed by the power grid when the power goes out.

• Energy-Saving In Water Systems: The Key To Cutting Costs And Achieving Net Zero

  Many of us are lucky enough to be able to turn on a tap and have clean water start flowing. Behind this, and all sorts of other domestic, business, and industrial applications that enable our modern world, utilities must move and process incredible volumes of water. Moving this much water is extremely energy-intensive. Experts estimate that around 4% of total global energy production goes toward water and wastewater processing. That’s approximately equivalent to the total energy use of Australia.

• City Avoids Full Shutdown Of Wastewater Facility For Repairs With Valve Insertion

  The Insta-Valve 20-24 provided a targeted shutdown to remove and replace inoperable valves without causing a substantial wastewater facility shutdown.

• Expanding Industrial Applications For Automation In Pumping

  The Internet of Things (IoT), Industry 4.0, and connectivity in drives is the future, and many market segments must modernize to compete. The world is more connected than ever with new technological advances that produce higher process efficiency and time savings. To stay competitive in this environment, companies must include automated solutions such as remote management, monitoring, and control.

• 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.

• University System Remains Operational Thanks To EZ VALVE

  The installation of an AVT EZ Valve has helped to future-proof the water system of a university utility system in a Northeastern U.S city. 

• RentEZ Program Enables Rapid Repair Of Water Storage Tank Line

  Water storage tanks are critical to communities because they provide clean water to residents and help meet peak demand. Regular inspections and maintenance ensure that everything works as intended so end users have reliable access to water when it is needed.

• Lincoln Winwater Safeguards City Water Supply

  The City of Papillion in Nebraska is home to around 20,000 residents who receive their water from two large water towers. These towers are fed by a pump station with the original pipeline infrastructure dictating that both towers needed to be filled simultaneously.

• EZ VALVE Keeps Multi-Million-Pound Sellafield Project On Track

  The AVT EZ Valve provided an efficient solution at the Sellafield Nuclear Site in Europe, saving valuable time and keeping a multi-million-pound project moving on schedule.

• EZ Valve Installed To Maintain Medical District's Water Supply

  When a North Texas city identified the need to create a permanent control point as well as isolate an area so a repair could be made to a water main, they called on Texas Hot Taps for a solution.
