Hydropower Safely Under Control
Hydropower makes an indispensable contribution to safe, environmental friendly generation of electric power. The fate of both today‘s world and of the future depend on having a secure energy supply from hydropower plants that are dependable and operational at all times. Analogous to other new sources like wind and solar power, pumped-storage plants are growing in significance as a reliable, swift source of energy with a large storage potential.
Safety remains in the foreground when it comes to hydropower plants. Valves and shutoff equipment that are dependable and durable play a vital role to that end. Since 1972, we have been developing, building and examining a product line featuring valves and shutoff equipment tailored to customer needs for hydropower plants. Over that time, our products have been installed all over the world and demonstrated their reliability on a daily basis over the course of decades.
Our manufacturing plant in Switzerland is exemplary for the close expertise our hydropower specialists have to the specific requirements pertaining to hydropower plants in alpine areas. Whether the project involves producing new valves or refurbishing existing ones: We develop complete, individualized solutions, tailored to the customer‘s operational requirements and the hydro plant‘s design.
Our specialized valves for the Hydro & Dams sector are the ideal choice for safe and reliable protection of your Hydro assets. Whether as shutoff valve for a turbine or low level outlet discharge valve for rapid reservoir drawdown, our Hydro Valves offering meets your application needs.
Water Delivered Reliably
One of the most valuable resources is water. It is not only needed as drinking water but also in various processes in the industry. It has to pass different processes before it can be used for any area of application. The main processes are water treatment and distribution.
The valves we have installed in water plants work reliably under extreme conditions to minimize wasting any water. Our well-proven valves feature 100% tightness and zero leakage, resulting in high-quality solutions for years to come. Especially when it comes to handling chemicals and aggressive media during wastewater treatment, it is indispensable to use reliable valves in order to protect the environment.
