Aluline Environmental Solutions aim to offer the most suitable Flow Control for all situations. Aluline's control devices are normally fabricated in 10 gauge (3mm) Grade 304 stainless steel. Stainless steel does not corrode and is highly resistant to abrasion. Life expectancy of each unit is likely to exceed that of the system into which it is installed.
Flow Control Devices are equipped with a Draindown/Bypass mechanism which is remotely operated from ground level. In the unlikely event of a blockage occurring in the inlet or outlet the mechanism allows draindown of the system without the need for expensive over-pumping or bypass penstocks and pipework, unlike other makes of VFCs which can only bypass a blockage in the inlet.
The Aluline vortex flow control is a self-activating flow control device which controls the rate at which water is allowed to enter downstream drainage systems. The flow control itself has no moving parts.
The VFC has a superior hydraulic performance when compared to conventional flow controls such as orifice plates, throttle pipes and penstocks. With outlet diameters up to 400% larger than conventional flow control devices, the risk of blockage is minimised. VFCs have a unique head/flow characteristic with a distinctive Sshaped curve with high flush and kick-back flow points. This characteristic can reduce storage volume requirements thereby lowering project costs.
