What is Pressure Management and Flow Control in Water Networks?
Pressure management in water networks plays a huge part in reducing leakage and providing safe and reliable water supply pressure to users around the world.
What is Correct Pressure Management?
Correct pressure management is when water is delivered to networks in a calm, efficient and sustainable manner.
By reducing the water pressure by time or flow or even both, ensures the water distribution can be controlled to meet customer demands and reduce leakage for many water companies.
What Causes Water Leakage?
Leakage is the loss of treated water due to leaks or burst in pipelines, this can be because the pressure is too high which affects pipes, valves and other fittings causing them to fail and potentially leak.
How to Reduce Leakage in Networks
Control Valves:
We can reduce these risks by using products such as pressure reducing valves (PRV's), and PRV controllers that automatically reduced high pressures to constant and reliable downstream pressures, dependent on the demand of the network and/or customers.

Needle Valves
Needle valves, sometimes referred to as plunger valves, enable engineers to finely control flows and can be used in many different applications with a need for flow or pressure regulation.
