Water for human consumption is collected from many different locations. Among these are: groundwater, surface water from rivers and lakes, and water reservoirs. In certain parts of the world, even seawater can be used after a thorough desalination process.
Regardless of the source, water must always be purified before use. Water from some areas may only need filtration and aeration, while water from other locations may need to go through a disinfection process before it is usable. Water is usually treated in a water plant, where the valves are often equipped with either electrical or pneumatic actuators to enable remote operation and control.
AVK offers a wide range of valves and accessories designed to comply with the specific conditions and demands in a typical water treatment plant. This includes gate valves, centric and double eccentric butterfly valves, swing check valves, air valves, and a wide selection of couplings and adaptors, repair clamps and valve accessories.
