Next generation for electronic valve actuation
Actuation market leader Rotork announces the introduction of the next generation of intelligent valve actuation.
Capable of handling an annual dry solids load of up to 65kt, the new plant processes sludge from other treatment works in the area, including Shieldhall, where a new pumping station has also been built.
The recently constructed scheme also handles up to 570m3 (tonnes) of liquid effluent per hour, which is treated in aeration/membrane bioreactors, enabling it to be discharged into the River Clyde in an environmentally clean condition.
Nearly 100 Rotork actuators have been installed in the new plant at Daldowie and Shieldhall.
The majority are IQ units operating knife gate and wedge gate valves, together with AQ units operating butterfly and ball valves.
