Surface Piping System
Industrial Surface Piping Systems
Specifically designed for high-capacity industrial facilities, surface piping system solutions offer excellent performance in large flow rates where standard automation valves fall short. Equipped with pneumatic or electric actuated valves, these systems fully automatically manage processes such as sand, active carbon, and iron-manganese purification, ensuring high efficiency and uninterrupted performance.
Surface Piping System Product Description
Professional surface piping system (Surface Piping Systems) solutions are preferred for high-flow industrial water treatment projects exceeding the capacity limits of standard automation valves. Large-diameter external piping lines, which can be manufactured from galvanized coated, epoxy painted carbon steel, or 304/316 grade stainless steel, are custom-engineered by our engineers to perfectly match your facility's hydraulic dynamics and instantaneous peak water flow requirements.
Forming the core of the system, the automation group operates on the principle of integrated operation between pneumatic or electric butterfly valves and PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) panels. In this way, backwash, rinse, and service entry operations are carried out fully automatically, error-free, and with high safety based on time or differential pressure (dP) control, without requiring operator intervention.
Offered with advanced engineering designs, our surface piping system units provide uninterrupted operational capability in river, well, or seawater treatment plants containing high amounts of sand, sediment, turbidity, and heavy metals. Thanks to the smart valve configuration that minimizes pressure losses, it prevents booster pumps from coming under extra load, saving your business substantial amounts of energy.
Manufactured under the guarantee of Elztec Water, these massive filtration manifolds are equipped with modular valve groups that offer easy maintenance. Its flexible structure, allowing independent valve interventions without stopping the entire line in case of possible malfunctions, strictly prevents production disruptions in industrial plants.
Which Capacities Are Surface Piping Systems Suitable For?
Generally, in large-scale industrial plants, factories, organized industrial zones, and municipal treatment facilities where hourly water demand is 20 m³/h and above, the use of a professional surface piping system becomes mandatory as standard plastic valves prove insufficient.
Which Materials Are Used in Piping Lines?
Depending on the corrosive effect of the raw water for the project and budget considerations, uPVC, oven-painted carbon steel, hot-dip galvanized, or 304/316 grade stainless steel pipe manifolds are manufactured in compliance with high-pressure standards.
What Are the Advantages of Pneumatic Valves Over Standard Valves?
Owing to their high torque power, pneumatic actuator butterfly valves perform instantaneous opening and closing within seconds even in large pipe diameters. They do not deform under high pressure, feature high spare part availability, and allow real-time position tracking via PLC panels.
How Is Surface Piping System Maintenance and Service Performed?
Gasket controls of the valves, oil levels of pneumatic air conditioners, and calibration of differential pressure sensors on the system are periodically checked. Thanks to the modular valve structure, a faulty actuator can be replaced within minutes without dismantling the tank body.
How Does Differential Pressure (dP) Controlled Backwashing Work?
Precise conductivity and pressure sensors placed at the filter inlet and outlet lines measure the pressure difference resulting from sediment accumulation. When the set threshold is reached, PLC automation sends a signal to the surface piping system valves to immediately initiate the automatic backwash process.
