H-Tec - H-Tec Air Release Valves: Optimize Your Force Main

Air Release Valves are essential in pressurized pipelines such as sewage force mains. They play a vital role in maintaining system efficiency by automatically removing trapped air. The amount of air entrained in wastewater systems is far greater than in drinking water transmission networks. If air valves are not present on the pipes, the trapped air can significantly increase the energy needed for pumping. In addition, one of the gases present in the “air”, Hydrogen Sulfide, is highly corrosive. It can attack and weaken pipes if not properly vented to the atmosphere. If you’re experiencing problems with your force main, such as reduced flow rates, noisy pumps, or pressure surges, air-release valves could be the solution. Envirep can help you determine if air-release valves are needed for your system and assist you in selecting the appropriate valves for your needs.
