InPipe Energy
How It Works:
It’s essentially a micro-hydro turbine coupled with a control valve that takes the excess pressure in a municipal water system and converts it into clean renewable energy. Interestingly, a HydroXS basically replaces a pressure reducing valve installed on site and allows it to capture the energy which would normally be burned off as friction and allow to reduce the water pressure.
“It is a predictable consistent reliable source of low-cost electricity”
Installation
STUDIO BACKS designs custom enclosures for InPipe Energy’s In-PRV to bring awareness to critical water infrastructure. In-PRV units must be highly accessible and easy to maintain.
“InPipe’s pressure recovery valve technology is turning water pressure into electricity”
“Converting excess water pressure into clean, renewable energy is a win for the environment”
EBMUD (East Bay Municipality Utility Water District) installs new HydroXS™ to precisely manage water flow and pressure and ultimately reduce electricity costs.
