Hydro Power is the generation of electricity or power from the falling or flow of fast water. As a renewable energy source, Hydro Power is becoming more and more popular, not only with conventional Hydro Electric Dams but also with Small Hydro and Micro Hydro installations. Actuation Valve have experience in working with all three types of installation, most recently working with small land owners throughout the UK, generating electricity from through flowing rivers. These setups can be enough to power farms, remote buildings or small communities. Our most popular product for this particular type of application is the TTV Butterfly Valve.

Anaerobic Digestion is widely used as a source of renewable energy and is the process by which microorganisms or biodegradable waste material is broken down in the absence of oxygen. This process, produces a biogas mixture of methane, carbon dioxide and traces of other contaminant gases. This biogas product can then be used as a direct fuel for combined heat and gas engines or further treated a produce biomethane natural gas. Anaerobic Digestion is becoming more popular with local farm owners who are able to directly supply and sell this produced clean gas to the national grid, providing an extra source of income.
