LOCPOWER control valve is the patented “green” solution of Valpres S.r.l., a Bonomi Group company. It is the first all-in-one valve and turbine built to harvest the pressure drop that is otherwise dissipated in processes such as flow, pressure, temperature, and level control, and transform it into 100% green energy. LOCPOWER is designed for medium and large-sized civil and industrial installations.
The goal of this innovation is to produce zero-emission and zero CO₂ energy through a single plug-and-play device. It is installed flange-to-flange, like a standard valve, in place of a more complex system made of 2 control valves — 1 for turbine regulation, 1 for active bypass — along with a turbine and associated piping.

LOCPOWER also allows management of turbine overflows, thanks to an internal extra flow channel, which is the core of its patent. This eliminates the need for an active bypass and guarantees the main function (process control) even if the turbine stops working for whatever reason. Its advantages include:
LOCPOWER is not a completely new technology, but is an innovative implementation of existing technologies, starting from existing valve design (globe/choke type) and axial turbines. All in all, it represents a major development in improving and progressing upon the current practices in use.
The available sizes range from 3 inches to 24 inches (larger valves may be designed upon request), and the power output spans from 5kW up to and exceeding 150kW, depending on flow rate and pressure drop and water head.
Given the operation of a LOCPOWER installation for 8,600 hours per year, the economics of the investment can be easily calculated. Once all the factors are considered, the costs include:
LOCPOWER users can also take advantage of the non-tangible revenues that are generated by the high visibility of these types of investments in terms of sustainability and company image, advantages that sometimes can even offset the purely financial considerations.
LOCPOWER allows smart companies and utilities to help decarbonize the electrical grid while safely controlling flow and pressure. Energize your water systems with LOCPOWER control valves. Email [email protected] or call 704-412-9031 for more information.
