The old weir in the spillway at the Postplatz in Solothurn served for many years, but now had to make way for a system that meets the requirements of modern sewer network operation. The water flows from the 1.7m inlet canal via the opening in the ground (jump weir) into the 600-metre canal, which is about 1m lower, in the direction of the sewage treatment plant. The outflow is now measured and throttled directly after the opening in the lower-lying 600-metre canal in a shaft built especially for the measuring and throttling unit.
The reliable discharge control for wastewater and rainwater
Precise and easy to maintain throttle system for stormwater tanks and wastewater structures. The fast, almost self-cleaning and remotely controllable butterfly valve with pneumatic actuator is based on the flow measurement integrated in the system and limits the flow to an arbitrarily adjustable quantity. As long as the maximum flow is not reached, the flap remains open, while the flow measurement system measures precisely even when partially filled.
