Canyon Hydro starts up new hydro system in Utah, US

23 March 2011


The new “energy recovery” system takes advantage of the excess pressure built up when water is piped in from the mountains to the city. Before the turbine was in place, the city had to use pressure relief valves before the water was fed into neighbourhood plumbing systems.

The Francis-type turbine was custom-designed to obtain maximum generating efficiency based on the specific site dimensions, water pressure and flow rates available.
