I refuse to pay for air in my Water Bill!

Companies Save Tens of Thousands on Water Bills

Conserve money from your water meter spin. A Colorado energy consulting company is helping large water users nationwide tackle rising water bills at the source. Their patented valve is designed to slow water turbulence and compress air. The air in your pipes is costing you money, and it may add up to more than you think. This costly air serves you no benefit, you never asked for it and you won’t get a refund. You may be surprised to find that every building owner nation wide is faced with the same issue and because no one is aware of it, no one is complaining about it. Believe it or not we are talking about the air and turbulence mixed in the water from the municipality that can cause your water meter to spin an additional 5 to 10%. It’s true; we pay for the tiny bubbles mixed in with our incoming water supply from the utility. This air has always been a natural component to turbulent rushing water and as it passes through your meter it registers and you pay for it. In fact you pay for it twice because your incoming meter read is used to determine both water and sewer expense, in most cases.

Fortunately new technology has provided an answer to this dilemma. It is based on 18th century principals from Le Chatelier and the Venturi effect. This device is legally installed after the meter on the user’s side. Yet it miraculously is able to compress and affect the air before it passes through the meter. Among other things this system will disrupt the usual swirl turbulence in the line without reducing flow. The device does not vent the air from the line but it does effectively compress it. The product is accepted by most municipalities and completely safe and sanitary. Because this technology is scalable it makes excellent sense for the large or small water user and will show impressive ROI.

A Turbulence Reduction System uses a reverse flow pulse to compress any air that is entrapped in your water system. This propitiatory process will have the following positive effects on stabilizing the flow entering your facilities water circuit.

 This device is capable of reducing the meter spin by 5 to 15%

 Reduce sewer expense (often taken from the incoming meter)

 It will act as a “Shock Absorber” for incoming spikes of entrapped air caused by ruptures in the municipal system

 It moderates current or seasonal High Water Pressure Conditions

 With any reverse in flow the device also acts as a secondary backflow device

Engineering Description

A Flow Management Device (FMD) uses the flow of water to self-perpetuate an oscillation assembly, without noticeable negative effect on building pressure. The oscillation assembly will create a compression process that generates a backward thrust. The result is that air in water transforms into compacted state. The continuation of this process will alter the air to a maximum compression state. This super compressed air, then resumes travel through the water meter, along with clean flow water, and past our device. After the compressed air has traveled past our device the air will resume its original state of volume.

The valve design will further influence the flow dynamics by breaking up the flow into smaller jets which change the velocity profile from slightly parabolic (flow faster in the center) to a flat-faced velocity profile where the center flow velocity is slower and the wall velocity faster than normal.

This technology will also reduce the perpendicular (swirl) velocity vector in the pipe. When fluid travels through a pipe there are two velocity components. The first velocity is the forward linear motion through the pipe. The second component is perpendicular (sideways) to the first velocity. Generally water will flow more quickly in the center of the pipe and slower at the pipe walls. This device modifies the flow into a flat-faced velocity profile where the center flow velocity is slower and the wall velocity faster than normal. The ‘swirl’ velocity component that you see when you flush a toilet is unproductive in the line “pre meter” and will be greatly reduced with proper equipment. It is the combination of implementing and manipulating these dynamic flow principles that result into a custom sized and built turbulence management solution that offers a multitude of benefits.

For commercial accounts that are heavy water users like hotels, prisons, country clubs, assisted living, theme parks and bottling companies, savings come quickly. They may realize a return on investment under 6 months.
