WETEX 2024

Driving water conservation through non-revenue water awareness 12-11-2024

Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) organized the 26th Water, Energy, Technology and Environment Exhibition (WETEX) from October 1-3 at the Dubai World Trade Centre.The event is in line with Dubai’s vision to build a sustainable future for the Emirates.

For this edition of WETEX, we supported the vision by focusing on the importance of selecting the right valves and accessories, and on how utilising pressure management solutions can help water utilities manage their networks more efficiently. This will help them reduce water loss, thereby contributing to local water conservation, paving the way forward towards a sustainable future in line with Dubai’s vision to build a sustainable future for the Emirates.

Expect global leadership and local commitment

We presented a variety of solution-based products, with a special highlight on our control valve solution.

Also at the forefront was our tilting disc check valve with high-performance external damper unit, which is developed and manufactured in-house by AVK Anhui. It has been tailored to meet the specific requirements of the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) and the regional markets. Additionally, we featured a range of pressure management products, including the pilot operated needle valve and pressure reducing valve from ACMO in Italy, along with a specially customized Smart diaphragm control valve for DEWA. Our exhibit also included water supply products such as swing check valves and butterfly valves.

A dedicated wastewater section was crafted to present our wastewater treatment solutions, featuring a DN500 knife gate valve and penstock under the theme of "Valves for Wastewater that Withstand the Toughest Conditions."

With products flown in from Anhui, Italy, Spain, and India, we reflected the "Act Local, Think Global" approach, all achieved within a remarkable time through solid teamwork.

During the three-day event, we engaged in meaningful conversations with our esteemed clients, including DEWA, RAKWA, SEWA, and customers from Kuwait, Jordan, Egypt and Oman, focusing on potential collaborations for upcoming projects across the region.

 

AVK was present at this edition of WETEX, which was visited by more than 50,000 visitors from 65 participating countries.
