Pressure reduction by means of hydraulic valves: an opportunity to recover hydraulic energy to reduce operating costs and carbon footprint

If you have a site with potential for energy recovery, do not hesitate to contact us. We will develop a suitable pre-feasibility assessment for you to evaluate the hydropower potential.

Sometimes, a picture is worth more than a thousand words. In the image below, you can see an industrial water supply system with two pressure reducing valves installed in series.

Our engineers have recently visited the site and assessed that the dissipated pressure can instead be transformed into electricity with one of our turbines. This will reduce the energy demand and the customer’s carbon emissions, while ensuring the same pressure reduction effect currently achieved by the valves alone.
