Hydraulic Valve Regulation in Water Distribution Networks – Expert Level

Introduction and Objectives

The Expert training is aimed at professionals already experienced in hydraulic regulation who have completed Advanced training (or who have equivalent skills).

It provides advanced mastery of sizing, adjustments and pressure modulation in water distribution networks.

Objectives, skills and competencies

Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:

  • Understand and master advanced pressure regulator sizing
  • Carry out and optimise precise adjustments of control valves
  • Understand the different types of pressure modulation
  • Apply the appropriate modulation to the network configuration
  • Choose the most effective modulation according to network topology
  • Manage and adjust pressure according to network requirements
