DESCRIPTION:Near You Event - An Introduction to Valves in the Water Industr
 y\n\nEvent Type: Talk or debate\n\nIndustry Sector: Process Industries\n\n
 Speak Details: Speakers: James Ingram\, Sam Callaghan\nChair \;   Pamela R
 obinson\n\nDescription : To Register \, Please Click Here\n\n\n\nThis Even
 t has been organised by the &ldquo\;Water and Wastewater Technical Activit
 y Committee&rdquo\; of the Process Industries Division of the IMechE. It i
 s hosted by the Process Industries Division and&nbsp\;promoted across the&
 nbsp\;Process Industries Community\, including the&nbsp\;Centres in the No
 rthwest&nbsp\;and Yorkshire Regions\, the Aberdeen Area\, the Northeast ar
 ea..\nThis webinar will provide an overview of the valves used within the 
 water industry\, their applications\, sizing\, selection and testing. It i
 s aimed at engineers\, designers\, and industry professionals seeking to b
 uild or reinforce their knowledge of this essential component of water and
  wastewater systems.\n&nbsp\;Topics covered include:\n\n    Valve Types: A
 n overview of commonly used valves in water and wastewater applications\, 
 including gate\, butterfly\, check\, pressure-reducing\, air valves\, and 
 more\, with discussion of their specific functions and use cases.\n    Val
 ve Categories: Valve functions including isolation\, regulation\, control\
 , check\, pressure relief and air.\n    Isolation valves: Wedge gate\, kni
 fe gate\, diaphragm\, pinch\, ball and butterfly.\n    Regulation valves: 
 Eccentric plug\, plunger\, free discharge and needle.\n    Control Valves:
  Line pressure driven valves.\n    Check valves: Swing disc check\, resili
 ent hinge disc\, recoil swing disc\, non-slam twin plate (wafer)\, non-sla
 m nozzle\, swing / lift\, ball duckbill\, foot and anti-pollution.\n    Pr
 essure relief: Spring operated poppet\, pinch type\, pallet type and burst
 ing disc.\n    Air valves: Large orifice\, dual orifice\, triple orifice\,
  \n    Valve Operation: Insights into manual\, electric\, access issues\, 
 remote operation\, automation valve operating speed requirements\n    Valv
 e Selection: Guidance on choosing the right valve type for various scenari
 os\n    Valve Sizing: A look at the principles behind correctly sizing val
 ves to ensure optimal system performance\, avoid cavitation\, and maintain
  efficiency.\n    Testing &amp\; Commissioning: Best practices for factory
  acceptance testing (FAT)\, site testing\, installation checks\, and commi
 ssioning procedures to ensure valve reliability and safety before operatio
 nal handover.\n\n&nbsp\;\nBy the end of the session\, attendees will have 
 a clear understanding of the key considerations involved in selecting\, ap
 plying\, and managing valves in water projects. This foundational knowledg
 e supports better design decisions\, enhances collaboration with suppliers
  and contractors\, and contributes to the successful delivery and long-ter
 m operation of water systems.\n&nbsp\;Webinar Plan&nbsp\;\n\n    Introduct
