In the mountain and foothill aqueducts, the water is conveyed in pressurized pipes to be sent to the loading tanks that feed the distribution network.
The PELTON AND BANKI IREM Ecowatt Hydro turbines can be installed in the existing aqueduct system in order to exploit the hydraulic energy, which would normally be dissipated, transforming it into usable electricity.
Considering the extreme importance regarding the delicate issue of public health, for the plants installed on the aqueduct, IREM supplies hydroelectric turbines which, thanks to suitable materials, industrialized production processes, customization of turbines and specific controls, comply with current legislation on processes and materials that can be used in contact with water intended for human consumption, this legislation is regulated in Europe by the European directive 98/83 / EC, in Italy by the DM 174/2004 and in France by the ACS (Attestation de Conformité Sanitaire).
Both compliance with the D.M. 174/2004 and with the ACS – among the most restrictive standards at European level – are certified by an accredited laboratory following an accurate verification process which includes:
- Risk analysis
- Traceability of certified and used materials
- Migration tests
- Control and certification of production standards
- Specific manuals
IREM today can boast more than 160 hydroelectric turbine installations on aqueducts all over the world.
