Water & Wastewater (AWWA)

Africa’s water and wastewater sector requires reliable industrial valves for water treatment, drinking-water supply, sewage treatment, desalination, pumping stations, irrigation, industrial wastewater and sludge handling. African Valve provides valve solutions for isolation, flow control, backflow prevention and process management, selected according to pressure, temperature, water chemistry, solids content and operating conditions. 

Water & Wastewater Valve Solutions 

African Valve supplies industrial valves for demanding water and wastewater applications, including Butterfly Valves, Gate Valves, Ball Valves, Check Valves, Globe Valves, Plug Valves, Knife Gate Valves, Diaphragm Valves, Air Release Valves and Actuated Valves. 

These valves support raw-water intake, transmission pipelines, pumping systems, filtration, disinfection, sludge handling, chemical dosing and treated-water distribution. Butterfly and gate valves provide pipeline isolation, while check valves prevent reverse flow and actuated valves enable automated process control. 

Water Treatment & Distribution 

Valves are used across water-intake systems, clarification, filtration, membrane systems, reservoirs, booster stations and municipal distribution networks. African water projects in South Africa, Egypt, Morocco, Algeria, Nigeria, Kenya, Tanzania, Ghana, Namibia and Botswana require corrosion-resistant and reliable valve construction for varying water quality, pressure and climatic conditions. 

Wastewater, Sewage & Sludge 

Wastewater facilities require valves for sewage pipelines, aeration systems, sludge transfer, dewatering, digesters, effluent discharge and wastewater pumping stations. Knife gate and plug valves are suitable for applications containing suspended solids, sludge and fibrous materials, while resilient-seated butterfly and check valves are widely used for isolation and flow control. 

Materials & Technical Construction 

Actuation & Automation 

Valves can be supplied with pneumatic, electric or hydraulic actuators, including solenoid valves, limit switches, position indicators, positioners, gear operators and fail-safe arrangements for remote operation and automated treatment processes. 

Applicable Standards 

Depending on valve type and project requirements, applicable standards may include API 598, ASME B16.34, EN 593, EN 1074, EN 1983, ISO 5752 and AWWA standards. Testing may include hydrostatic shell testing, seat testing, pneumatic testing and functional testing. 

African Valve provides engineered valve solutions for water treatment, wastewater processing, sewage, sludge, pumping, desalination and water-distribution systems across Africa.
