Applications and advantages of the PRS system

PRS can be installed on existing pipes or on new pipelines.

PRS benefits

Reduces excess pressure

PRS can continuously reduce pressure in a remotely monitored way, allowing the client to implement even complex management logic.

Energy production

It is possible to generate electricity while managing the water flow by converting excess pressure into electrical power, achieving an annual production-to-installed capacity ratio far superior to that of other renewable energy sources.

Replaces traditional control valves (needle valve, PRV, etc.)

PRS can give value to the potential energy of the water flow while maintaining the same control function as traditional regulation valves.

Respects the water network

Respects the original service of the water network, without interfering with its management, while adding value also through continuous monitoring of hydraulic parameters, for better infrastructure management.

Enhances existing infrastructure

The flexible installation of the PRS, thanks to its design for integration into the water system, combined with careful planning, allows existing infrastructure to be fully optimized.

Applications and installation versatility

The PRS is an extremely versatile system, designed to adapt to a wide range of hydraulic and plant scenarios. Thanks to its flexibility, it can be easily integrated into existing networks and configured according to the operational and energy requirements of the site.

 

It can be installed in:

  • Water main and water distribution networks
  • Water treatment plants
  • Irrigation networks
  • Industrial or municipal heating and cooling systems
  • Networks with significant flow rate or pressure variations

 

Ideal for:

  • Public or private water systems requiring dynamic pressure or flow rate regulation
  • Networks subject to demand fluctuations with high energy recovery potential
  • Water utility operators interested in harvesting the energy potential of existing infrastructure

 

Available configurations:

  • Grid-connected plants (linked in parallel to the electrical network)
  • Stand-alone systems (for self-consumption)
  • Hybrid solutions (linked in parallel + local/battery storage)
