Air Valves

HMA Valaveco is a supplier for the Val-Matic range of air valves, which has solutions for a wide range of air related concerns in pipelines and treatment plants.

A few of the basic valve applications are:

• Efficiency and Vacuum Protection
• Surge Control
• Pipeline Surges
• Vertical pump column surges

Many operational problems, especially at the time of initial start-up, including broken pumps, valves and pipe, as well as faulty instrumentation readings, are blamed on inadequate thrust blocking, improper pipeline bedding, etc. In reality, many of these problems are not caused by improper installation of the line, but by failure to de-aerate the line.
