In a significant milestone for wastewater management, a colossal DN1350 / 54” Flowrox pinch valve, one of the largest electrically operated pinch valves globally, has been deployed at a wastewater treatment plant in Florida, USA. Manufactured by Valmet Flow Control, this technology boasts immense wear and corrosion resistance, promising trouble-free operation and an extended lifespan.

With a flow capacity of up to 125 million gallons daily, this valve will efficiently control influent flow, bolstering the reliability and control of one of Florida’s largest wastewater facilities. This upgrade is part of a broader initiative by the city of Miami to accommodate new jobs, enhance water and sewer system sustainability, and address emerging contaminants like polyfluoroalkyl substances.

Valmet Flow Control’s expertise and decades of experience are evident in this installation, offering advanced, self-cleaning valves that ensure longevity and reliability, making them a staple in wastewater treatment plants worldwide.
