Our Products
Highest Quality Valves for the Hydro & Dams and Water Sectors
We believe in only using highest quality materials and design processes to achieve valve designs of superior quality and robustness. Our clients rely on us to provide safe and reliable shutoff, discharge, modulating, and isolation valves. All of our valves are customizable and are carefully adapted to fit client requirements and site constraints. Discover our valve offering below.
Butterfly Valves
Our drip-tight butterfly valves offer the highest degree of safety and reliability for critical Hydropower applications. Rated for emergency closure under flow, throttling / modulating service, and isolation of downstream assets, our butterfly valves are manufactured from first class materials of superior quality.
Spherical Valves
ADAMS spherical valves are often used as main inlet valve to a pump-turbine. Due to the full-bore design and pump priming capabilities, our spherical valves offer excellent efficiency for Pumped Storage Plant operators. The superior strength of our spherical valve body and movable seats offers exceptional reliability and sealing capability, even after decades of operation in the field.
Ball Valves
Our ball valves offer the same great benefits that our spherical valves have, with the exception of the movable seats. Dropping the movable seats for a single stationary seat allows for a more economical design. The increase in required torque is compensated by a larger actuator.
Fixed Cone Valves / Hollow Jet Valves
The ADAMS fixed cone valve design has proven its quality and robustness through decades of successful operation, hydraulic laboratory testing, and hydraulic modeling. Our fixed cone valves are an ideal valve for free discharge applications such as Low Level Outlets or bypass lines. We offer hooded and un-hooded designs based on client preference.
Pressure Relief Valves
Our pressure relief valves are specifically designed to protect the plant from unit overspeed and excessive pressure rise / water hammer. Actuation of the pressure relief valve is carefully tied to the unit governor. Continues bypass operation can be specified as an optional feature.
Needle Valves
ADAMS offers a large range of needle valves for applications as free discharge, penstock or turbine shutoff valve bypass, as well as Pelton Turbine controls. Our needle valves offer great energy dissipation characteristics.
Controls and Instrumentation
Controls are critical to the safe operation of a hydropower plant. We design, build, and install hydraulic and electrical control systems that not only control our valves, but also act as crucial interface between other plant control systems and safety features.
Accessories
Customers have different requirements and site constraints, which is why we offer a broad range of accessories for our valves. We are a complete system integrator that can provide all accessories needed for the complete integration of our valves into an existing or new plant.
