Air Valves & Hydraulic Analysis Ensure Pumping Efficiency

One of Europe’s largest paper manufacturers came to our experts for air valve positioning on their new industrial effluent processing plant, set to pump waste 500m via a network of overhead steel pipes.

With needing to accommodate a pre-existing layout and the distance the medium was to be pumped, carefully positioned air valves were needed to ensure efficient flow.

Damped Check Valves for Hong Kong Drainage Department

The Drainage Services Department of the Hong Kong Government commissioned our experts for four DN400 bespoke swing check valves with pneumatic dampers and flow sensing switches, forming part of a £1.6 million site refurbishment.

As the only manufacturer of WRAS approved swing check valves with such a large diameter, T-T were specially qualified to meet the needs of the site.

Non-Return Valves for the Thames Tideway Scheme

When a major Iraqi-based oil refinery required custom-actuated butterfly valves for a large-scale plant refurbishment, T-T Flow’s expert product knowledge, access to quality manufacturing partners and extensive export experience made us the ideal choice to deliver a robust, reliable and fully compliant customised solution both on-time and within budget.

In addition to the non-standard materials, the client specified actuator connectivity to integrate with existing control panels and operating philosophy.

Custom Actuated Butterfly Valves for Oiler Refinery

When a major Iraqi-based oil refinery required custom-actuated butterfly valves for a large-scale plant refurbishment, T-T Flow’s expert product knowledge, access to quality manufacturing partners and extensive export experience made us the ideal choice to deliver a robust, reliable and fully compliant customised solution both on-time and within budget.

Bespoke Replacement for Legacy Check Valves

While refurbishing a Water Treatment Works under Southern Water (treating over 62 million litres of water per day), contractors discovered an obsolete valve that they struggled to identify and replace. An off-the-shelf solution was an option for the replacement; however, the site would have needed to undergo costly pipework modification in order to accommodate the new valve.

The T-T Flow team worked closely with the site’s engineers to determine the valve's primary function and its necessary critical dimensions.
