Val-Matic® entered the United Kingdom market on a major project for Thames Water. The project involved an upgraded contract worth more than USD189 million at the Crossness Sewage Treatment Plant in east London. The improvements enabled the site to treat 44% more sewage than before, significantly reducing the amount of storm sewage that overflows into the River Thames. Thames installed Val-Matic® Cam-Centric Plug Valves in a full range of sizes for the primary settlement tank, desludge and aeration applications. Val-Matic Cam-Centric Plug Valves maintained the ability to withstand the harsh process environment, with its hard wearing and non-stick fusion bonded epoxy coating, coupled with a unique bearing packing including Grit-Guard seals to assure a tight seal and trouble-free service.
The Val-Matic Cam-Centric Plug Valve is a 1/4 turn valve allowing cost effective, low torque actuation for shut-off and throttling service. Val-Matic Cam-Centric® Plug Valves meet AWWA C517 and are WQA Certified Lead-Free.
