Water Loss Management
Due to the seriousness of the water shortage crisis over the past decades, the need to manage water usage has become increasingly important. NRW is water that has been produced and is “lost” before it reaches the customer. Losses can be real losses through leaks, sometimes also referred to as physical losses or apparent losses, for example, through theft or metering inaccuracies. A rough estimate says if the water losses in the developing countries be halved, the saved water would have been enough to supply around 90 million people.
At Sigma Flow, we specialize in providing reliable isolation valves, including gate valves and butterfly valves, designed to minimize service disruptions during maintenance and repair. These valves are strategically placed to ensure that sections of the network can be isolated with minimal inconvenience to other service areas.

Control Valves
Control valves are integral to managing flow and pressure within the distribution system.
They are sized based on the desired flow rates, upstream and downstream pressure differentials, and flow velocities. SIGMAFLOW offers a variety of control valves, including pressure-reducing, pressure-sustaining, pressure-relief, flow-control, throttling, and float valves.
For maintaining optimal flow
Additionally, air release valves, essential for maintaining optimal flow, are installed at high points or gradient changes in the main pipeline. SIGMAFLOW provides a comprehensive range of air valves specifically designed for distribution lines.
Strategies for Optimizing Water Distribution and Minimizing Losses
Our approach to raw water applications begins with identifying key challenges and ends with tailored solutions that ensure efficiency, protect infrastructure, and minimize costs.
- 1. Pressure Regulation: Valves like Pressure Relief Valves (PRVs) and Pressure-Reducing Valves (PRVs) help maintain optimal pressure, preventing pipe bursts and leaks that contribute to water loss.
- 2. Leak Detection and Control: Pumps with sensors can detect flow anomalies, signaling potential leaks. Automated valves can isolate problem areas, preventing further water loss.
- 3. Energy Efficiency: Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) pumps adjust their speed based on demand, optimizing energy use and reducing unnecessary pumping, which can contribute to water loss due to over-pressurization.
- 4. Flow Management: Flow control valves and isolation valves regulate water distribution and ensure that water is directed where it's needed, minimizing wastage and inefficiencies.
- 5. System Monitoring: Integrated systems using SCADA allow for real-time monitoring of valves and pumps, enabling quick responses to pressure fluctuations, leaks, or system failures, thus minimizing water loss..
