San Felipe Springs Water Treatment Plant based in the City of Del Rio, Texas will use almost 400 of Rotork’s K-TORK rotary vane actuators to aid in the ultrafiltration process which the plant uses to process its water.
The plant has an incoming flow of 18.2 million gallons per day. The treated water serves the population of Del Rio and the nearby Laughlin Air Force Base. The primary process used is ultrafiltration, which removes solids and contaminants, resulting in water suitable for drinking.
Around 400 K-TORK rotary vane actuators will be used to boost the ultrafiltration process. The accurate and reliable units are to replace existing actuators to ensure reduced maintenance and replacement costs. They are designed for critical applications of this kind because of their high cycle and precise modulating output. They do not need to convert linear motion to rotary motion, which means they offer true rotary control.
A direct drive design means K-TORKs provide accurate modulating specifications. The majority of the actuators have now been installed.
