A new intelligent valve platform has been unveiled by AquaFlow Dynamics, designed to help utilities tackle leakage and improve network resilience.
The system uses embedded sensors and adaptive flow control to detect pressure anomalies in real time, automatically adjusting to prevent bursts and reduce non revenue water.
The company claims early trials have cut leakage by up to 18% in mixed age pipe networks, offering a scalable solution for regions facing tightening regulatory pressure and rising demand.
The technology integrates with existing SCADA systems, allowing operators to model flow patterns and optimise maintenance schedules without disruptive retrofits.
