Surge analysis
Understanding are the causes and prevention
At Trident International, we prioritise providing comprehensive technical hydraulic solutions, using our expertise and extensive operational knowledge across a diverse range products to effectively control, capture, and monitor network performance.
Water companies and municipalities are currently grappling with increasing demands on limited resources, alongside networks plagued by leakage levels and burst rates due to aging infrastructure. These are primarily driven by pressure fluctuations, transient surges, column separation, water hammer, and cavitation.
Our approach involves analysing and redesigning networks to decrease leakage and burst frequencies, while also lowering maintenance costs, resulting in significant savings for water utilities. Additionally, we aim to reduce electrical consumption, offering environmentally friendly, carbon-reduced solutions.
Trident Internationals design capabilities extend across clean water, wastewater, building, industrial, marine, offshore, and agricultural systems. We can assist in creating a fully integrated smart network, ensuring infrastructure efficiently delivers water from source to end user with minimal service disruptions.
If the network is failing, the effectiveness of smart sensors alone diminishes. Trident International advancements in network control and our extensive AI product range will not only address current challenges within aging infrastructures but also allow us to help you implement designs that enhance networks for future generations, culminating in a working network with a true digital twin.
A significant number of UK water companies are currently utilising our expertise, and our technical design solutions they have also been adopted internationally, including by Lagos Water in Nigeria and others.
Our focus
Trident International possesses extensive knowledge and access to a comprehensive range of products engineered to the highest standards, aimed at soothing and harmonising water and wastewater transmission and distribution systems.
With our expertise in transient, water hammer, and column separation challenges, we offer tailored solutions that employ the appropriate products to address the current and future issues faced by your company.
Our autonomous hydraulic network modelling capabilities, also allow us to collaborate with water utilities to design networks that stabilise pressures, thereby minimising leakage and burst frequencies while ensuring a secure supply. Additionally, we help prevent water quality problems such as discoloration and bacterial contamination in potable water networks as well as pollution incidents in sewage systems.
By utilising our solutions, we can effectively minimise customer complaints, lower carbon emissions, and prolong the lifespan of pumps, pipelines, and valves. We offer:
-
Network Management and Hydraulic Design Modelling.
-
