Clear Flow Case Study: Flow Metering System in Loudoun County, VA

By January 29, 2025December 3rd, 2025No Comments

Project Overview

Clear Flow delivered a specialized water management solution for a new data center, focusing on the efficient and reliable supply of metered water from a high-pressure main. This project, a part of the technological infrastructure development in Loudoun County, Virginia, was critical in meeting the high water flow needs of modern data centers.

 

Systems Incorporated

The project incorporated a highly sophisticated flow metering system including:

  • An 8” Pressure reducing valve by Cla-Val, engineered to control the rate of flow and maintain set pressure ranges through dual solenoid controls.
  • A comprehensive monitoring system by Cla-Val, which interfaces with the SCADA panel. This system provides real-time flow rate feedback and line pressure data, with the capability for remote pressure adjustments through custom set points via a cellular modem.

 

Challenges and Solutions

The project presented specific challenges, including the need to meet the stringent SCADA system requirements of Loudoun Water and ensuring compatibility with their operational protocols. Clear Flow’s engineering team efficiently handled these challenges by:

  • Preparing and submitting detailed technical submittals for system review and approval by the project engineers and Loudoun Water.
  • Conducting an onsite startup and providing comprehensive Operations & Maintenance manuals to ensure smooth integration and functionality.
