Flushing Simulation

HAMMER CONNECT flushing module can be used to simulate the effect of flushing water distribution systems.

There are several purposes for flushing distribution systems including increasing velocity to scour pipes, reducing water age, testing operation of hydrants, etc. The HAMMER CONNECT implementation of flushing is oriented toward increasing velocity in mains to flush out solids and stale water. The primary indicator of the success of flushing is the maximum velocity achieved in any pipe during flushing operation.
