U.S. Built Valves for HydroPower Dams

DeZURIK’s “U.S. Built Valves for Hydro Applications” white paper offers an in-depth look into the company’s extensive experience and product offerings tailored for the hydropower dams. Since constructing its first jet flow gate for the Bureau of Reclamation in 1976, DeZURIK has been a trusted supplier of valves designed to handle the rigorous demands of hydroelectric facilities. ​

The paper highlights DeZURIK’s evolution, including its strategic acquisition of Hilton Valve Company in 2012, which expanded its capabilities to fabricate large, custom-designed valves. This includes the development of the throttling knife gate valve, an economical solution for low-head hydro applications, capable of handling large volumes of water with precision and reliability. ​

DeZURIK’s commitment to engineering excellence is evident in its range of products, such as the Hilton H-300-B Hydro Guard Gate Valves, designed to provide shutoff, or isolate flow control valves for maintenance, in hydro facilities. These valves are capable of closing under full flow conditions and are available in various materials and actuator types to suit specific application needs. ​

Manufactured in the United States, DeZURIK’s valves are engineered to meet the unique requirements of hydropower operations, offering solutions that enhance performance, safety, and cost-effectiveness. With a focus on innovation and customer-specific designs, DeZURIK continues to be a leader in providing valves for hydropower dams. ​
