A Danish company provides actuators that automatically open and close valves while collecting data at water treatment facilities. The actuators are smaller and more energy- efficient, which makes them easier to maintain. Case studies in Denmark have shown they save up to 50% on control systems.
The actuators operate automatically as opposed to manually, which is what most utilities do now. This is an important step towards automation, where valves are operated centrally to make all systems cooperate better, save energy and lower costs.
