IWA World Water Congress & Exhibition 2018
From the 16th – 21th September, AVK will attend the IWA World Water Congress and Exhibition in Tokyo to discuss global water issues with 5,500 water, environment, and related professionals from more than 100 countries. Key focuses of the exhibition is the digital economy, megacities, diffusion of innovation, disaster and sustainability. 12-09-2018
The Danish Pavilion
The Danish Pavilion will feature an exhibition area, as well, as a combined lounge/side event area.
For AVK in collaboration with Shimizu Kogyo, it is an unique opportunity to be part of the Danish Pavilion, and to present our products for the smart water network.
On average, every third liter of water produced worldwide is lost somewhere in distribution; a waste of a vital resource, and of the amount of energy consumed and hard work invested in its production. Water services are challenged by aspects, such as growth in population, increased water demands, and restrictions on energy consumption. Any reduction of water losses will, therefore, help avert water shortage, free resources and indirectly reduce the consumption of energy - creating benefits for the network, its end-users and for the environment altogether.
Our gate valves play an important role when it comes to sustainable water distribution systems.
In order to control the water distribution system, it is of vital importance to install reliable high-quality valves. By choosing high-quality shot-off valves, leakages from the valve itself can be avoid. Gate valves with high-quality gasket of rubber ensure that the valves are 100% drop-tight.
Dividing a network into sections, called district metering areas (DMA), is an effective tool to prevent water loss. A high-quality reliable AVK gate valve is the perfect choice to shut off the flow between the different DMAs completely.
With our intelligent control valve, we can reduce the water pressure with an added controller. The control valve has the ability to receive data from a number of inputs and can operate itself accordingly based on inputs of flow, pressure, network losses, temperature, open/close position and maintenance requirements.
The Control valve contributes to a smart water network by providing optimized network pressures, reacting to system failures, reducing leakage, and by giving feedback on valve position, water temperature, quality and valve maintenance status.
The entire system will then be responsive to real-time data. Offering you the advantages of a smart water network; an integrated set of products, solutions, and systems that enables you to remotely and continuously monitor and diagnose problems. But also prioritize and manage maintenance issues and use data, to optimize all aspects of the water distribution network. Not only saving resources and efforts, but also ensuring an overall improvement of network performance.
