SINGER VALVE STATION IS IDEAL SOLUTION
Their Challenge
Tarek Saman, municipal project coordinator at Genivar Engineering, was tasked with specifying pressure reducing valves for Kneehill County’s regional transmission line. He chose Singer Valve’s pressure reducing valves. But a conventional system, with two pressure reducing valves in series to handle a significant pressure drop, would result in a large and expensive station. Knowing that Singer Valve could design and build a packaged system to accommodate the PRVs and the transmission system, the concept was suggested for this project.
Our Solution
“The primary reason we chose a Singer packaged system was the ease of installation,” says Tarek. “Ordering a packaged system is extremely efficient in many ways but to install the station in one day was the biggest benefit for us.” The packaged system included pressure reducing valves fitted with the Singer Anti-Cavitation Trim.
The Result
Utilizing Singer’s Anti-Cavitation Trim on the valve in a packaged system allowed Singer to manufacture and deliver a cost-effective, low maintenance solution. The county needed three stations; Singer Valve provided all of them. As a result, the high pressure changes in transmission line due to elevation changes are no longer a problem and residents receive water at a pressure they can use.
