Valpres’ LOCPOWER: for a Greener Future
Valpres, a renowned manufacturer within the Bonomi Group, is pushing the boundaries of pipeline efficiency with its innovative LOCPOWER product. LOCPOWER is a patented energy harvesting solution that transforms otherwise wasted energy during flow and pressure regulation into clean, zero-emission electricity. By integrating a multi-stage trim-turbine within the valve body, LOCPOWER captures energy typically lost in conventional systems, turning pipelines into renewable energy sources while maintaining the highest standards of safety and operational reliability.
LOCPOWER offers dual flow control—hydraulic by actuator and electric by turbine—providing precise regulation and minimising pressure fluctuations. Available in materials such as carbon steel and stainless steel, it’s designed for a range of applications, from waterworks to district heating and oil and gas pipelines. Its advanced design allows for easy on-site maintenance and the solution may include vibration sensors for mechanical bearings failure prediction and remote diagnostics to enhance system performance and extend service life.
This World Earth Day, LOCPOWER serves as a powerful reminder that sustainable innovation is not only possible but essential. As global attention turns to reducing emissions and conserving energy, technologies like LOCPOWER illustrate how industrial systems can play a proactive role in the transition to clean energy—recovering power that would otherwise be lost and significantly reducing environmental impact.
Beyond LOCPOWER, the Bonomi Group is committed to sustainability, as showcased in its newly launched 2023 Sustainability Report. The report highlights the group’s dedication to environmental responsibility, detailing efforts in promoting circular processes, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and enhancing resource efficiency.
