Flow regulation

Control water flow and reduce the risk of overload and flooding in stormwater and wastewater systems. Effective flow regulation helps make better use of pipe network capacity, even during high and varying flows.

When water flow increases, system capacity is put to the test

Heavy rainfall and high or fluctuating water flows can quickly put pressure on stormwater and wastewater systems. When more water enters the pipe network than the downstream system can handle, the risk of overloading, flooding and overflow increases. Controlling how much water is released downstream makes better use of existing capacity and reduces the load on pipes and other parts of the system.

Flow regulation makes it possible to limit discharge from stormwater detention facilities and other stormwater installations. Maintaining a controlled discharge rate reduces pressure on downstream pipe networks, even when incoming flows vary significantly. Our solutions operate without external energy and can be used in both new and existing stormwater systems.

Which solution is right for flow regulation?

The choice of flow regulator depends on factors such as flow conditions, the need for adjustment and the installation design.

WaReg Flow regulator automatically regulates stormwater flow and adapts to changing pressure conditions without requiring external energy. The flow rate can also be adjusted after installation, making it suitable for systems where requirements may change over time.

  • Case

    WaReg prevents rainwater flooding in the industrial area in Åkersberga

    To regulate the wastewater from the dam, two parallel-connected WaReg 3.0 flow regulators were installed via a distribution well.

    The WaReg 3.0 Flow Regulator regulates the flow through open watercourses, regardless of the water level upstream. The WaReg 3.0 is designed to suit most applications and is available from DN75 - DN400 for flows from 1 l/s to 250 l/s.

    Our engineers have worked hard to design a flow regulator that is more efficient than the standard vortex chamber. With WaReg®, the flow rate can be adjusted according to the installation, with the ambition to offer the best solution to keep both people and property safe
