Elastomer-free valve design Stormwater project for stops particle shedding Saudi stations completed A new pressure regulating valve that eliminates the need for elastomers has been launched. The product from GF Piping Systems also has no exterior metal parts and is designed for easy maintenance and flexibility. The valves can be used in a wide range of markets including water treatment, chemical processing, microelectronics, pharmaceutical, life sciences and solar.
The new pressure regulating valve from GF Piping Systems.
Key to the new design is a special piston that eliminates the use of elastomers in the valve, so ending particle shedding for improved high purity operation. Other characteristics include its modular system that allows the user to easily adjust the set pressure range and quickly go from reducing to retaining (or vice versa) by switching the cartridge. The initial product introduction includes two different PRV types in five materials - PVC, CPVC, PROGEF Standard PP, SYGEF Standard PVDF, and SYGEF Plus PVDF-HP - in sizes from 3/8 inches to 2 inches (DN 10 - DN 50). Standards include ISO 9393 for tightness and EN 12266 for leak rating.
One exhibitor, KSB Pumps and Valves, will be highlighting its recently launched mining division. “African mining is a rapidly growing market for our complete range of fluid management www.worldpumps.com
Hydro International has provided 18,000m3 of storage in seven underground tanks for the Jeddah and King Abdullah Economic City Stations which discharge to the sewer network controlled at 270l/s through a Hydro-Brake Optimum vortex flow control. The company also installed Geocellular storage blocks to cope with peak storm flows and high sediment content in storm water runoff.
“Heavy sand and silt loadings, combined with high peak rainfall events are typical of the Saudi Arabian climate. So identifying the best technologies from around the world to address the country’s needs is essential,” said Hydro’s Middle East sales manager, Ezzat Natsheh The stations form part of Al Haramain Mecca to Medina rail project which links the Muslim holy cities of Medina and Mecca via King Abdullah Economic City, Rabigh, Jeddah, and King Abdulaziz International Airport. www.hydro-int.com

A major exhibition will showcase the latest products, solutions, projects and opportunities available to African mining.
“There is now even more interest from pump and valve manufacturers and suppliers around the world in growing market share in Africa,” said John Thomson of PVPA organisers Exhibition Management Services.
A $5m contract to provide storm water storage and management at two new railway stations in Saudi Arabia has been completed.

and shut down irrigation pumps, eliminating unnecessary pumping time and the need for expensive kill wires, while allowing farmers to save money, time and as well as water. Farmers are able to turn their pumps on and off with the help of a website and mobile app and receive text, voice or email notifications upon issues including thermal overloads or power failures. Up to 10 recipients can be notified when technical issues occur. Also, PumpProxy is integrated through cellular connectivity with WireRat, another Net Irrigate solution which alerts farmers when well wire tampering or thefts occur. www.netirrigate.com
