THE FUTURE IS TODAY

Access to water, sanitation andhygiene is a human right, yetbillions are still faced with daily
challenges accessing even themost basic of services.
Around 1.8 billion people
globally use a source ofdrinking water that is fecallycontaminated. Some 2.4
billion people lack access tobasic sanitation services, suchas toilets or latrines. Water
scarcity affects more than 40%of the global population andis projected to rise. More than
80% of wastewater resulting
from human activities isdischarged into rivers or sea
without any treatment, leading
to pollution.
12 | THE AVK GROUP OF COMPANIESTHOUGH MOST OF OUR PRODUCTS ARE
HIDDEN FROM SIGHT, THEY PLAY AN
IMPORTANT ROLE IN MANAGING THE
MOST PRECIOUS RESOURCES ON EARTH- FRESH WATER
Functional and operational valves are the backbone in any water distribution system.
Saving on quality can ultimately come with a very high price. A cost that far exceeds theinvestment at any time.
Tomorrow - and 50 years from now - our solutions have to perform flawlessly andeffortlessly every time. When they do, it means that fewer leaks and breaches occur, and it
is easy to close off and repair a network, if necessary. This means thousands and thousands
saved on maintanance, lost water and electricity.
At AVK, we are dedicated to sharing our knowledge, and to expanding our reach bycooperating with other key players in water management. This is our way of contributing to
the UN’s #6 sustainable development goal - ensuring access to water and sanitation for all.

95% of urban expansion in thenext decades will take place indeveloping countries.
Half of humanity – 3.5 billion
people – live in cities today,
and this number will continue
to grow.
Because the future will beurban for a majority of people,
the solutions to some of thegreatest issues facing humans– poverty, climate change,
healthcare, education – mustbe found in city life.

SUSTAINABILITY IN CITIES WORLDWIDE
Cities are hubs for ideas, commerce, culture, science, productivity, social development
and much more. At their best, cities have enabled people to advance socially andeconomically.
However, many challenges exist to maintaining cities in a way, so that they continue toto create jobs and prosperity while not straining land and resources. Common urban
challenges include congestion, lack of funds to provide basic services, a shortage ofadequate housing and declining infrastructure.
These challenges can be defeated in ways that allow them to continue to thrive and grow,while improving resource use and reducing pollution and poverty. The future we want
includes cities of opportunities for all, with access to basic services, energy, housing,transportation and more.

which demonstrates the flow of water througha series of valves allowing attendees to gain
a comprehensive understanding of water
related processes.
Since its establishment, two courses havebeen launched;• The Valves Fundamentals Course, which
provides a sound introduction to acquire an
essential knowledge of valves, in theory andpractice, and”Before 2030, the global energy consumption
will have increased by 50%, triggering a rise inwater consumption of about 85%.
In Denmark, we have found a way of using
our resources efficiently and carefully, andthis knowledge should be passed on tothese students, for them to actively use theknowledge in solving today’s and tomorrow’s
water challenges.”- Global Brand Manager at AVK, Michael
Ramlau-Hansen.

• The Advanced Valves Course which
provides greater insight into principles andpractices that address the theories of fluidpressure, fluid flow and field applications.
Both courses are accredited by ECSA(Engineering Council of Southern Africa)
and attendees receive 2 CPD-points uponcompletion.

SMART WATERLARGE-SCALE PROJECT FOR EFFICIENT WATERSUPPLY MANAGEMENT REDUCING CRITICAL WATERLOSSESCASE STORY

In a world with increasing urbanisation andfast-growing populations, the infrastructureand surrounding environments are continuously
challenged. Innovation is key to being able toretain and further improve the quality of life forcitizens around the world.
With the use of digital and telecommunication
technologies, the smart city concept aims fora better use of our available resources and forless emissions polluting our environment.

Georgian Water and Power (GWP) has chosen AVK International to supply more than 500 pressure
reducing valves in order to significantly improve and efficiently manage their water supply.

A water loss level at around 70% in the Tbilisi-region, Georgia has previously given rise to leakage reduction initiatives. Now, GWP has decided to go all the way
to obtain an efficient water supply management, and 150 pressure reducing valves (PRV) already installed as part of the initiative are to be replaced by AVK
valves in addition to more than 350 new PRV installations. The expected savings on water production is more that six million USD - every year.

LESS WATER LOSSES AND MILLION-DOLLAR SAVINGS
Pressure management has proven to efficiently reduce leakages and thereby also lower the non-revenue water level. This improves energy efficiency as well as
operation and maintenance costs. Pressure management using PRVs can really make a difference and besides savings on produced and pumped water it canalso improve e.g. consumer satisfaction by minimised disruptions. A major benefit of pressure management in the Tbilisi-region is specifically the allowance forcontrol of the excess pressure that arises as the water flows from the high situated reservoir.
The benefits of pressure management are many – most of them having the overall theme of minimising water loss. There are benefits for consumers and water
utilities as well as for sustainability.

After installation of 235 valves, overall water
distribution in the supply area has been
reduced by seven percent compared with thepast year. The risks of water hammer andpipe bursts are minimised, and the electricity consumption and the amount of pumped
water is reduced;• Electricity consumption is reduced by approx.
10%• Less risk of water hammer, and pipe bursts are
reduced by 25%• Pumped water is reduced by 27,740,000 m³/
year
Expected results after installation of 500
PRVs:• Pumped water reduced by 58.000.000 m³/year• Saved production costs 6.380.000 USD/year**The cost of producing 1 m³ water in Tbilisi being
0.11 USD

SMART WATERIRRIGATION
Water is the foundation for all life on the planet - directly and indirectly. While
humans need drinking water in order to survive, so do all other living organisms,
meaning that our food supply is just as much dependent on water.
72% of the earth’s surface is covered with water, of which almost all is salty
and therefore not fit for drinking or irrigating. In fact, only 1% of the freshwater
available can be used for these purposes. Of this one percentage, around 70% isused in food production.
By 2030, the UN predicts that we will be as many as 10 billion people populating
this planet. This means an increasing food supply of 70%, only adding to thepressure on available water reserves.

The water used for the
products we consume:

An apple: 125 litres
Carrots (1 kg): 131 litres
Potatoes (1 kg): 225 litres
Avocado (1 kg): 1800 litres
Chicken (1 kg): 1972 litres
Cheese (1 kg): 5000 litres

Tea (1 kg): 8062 litres
Coffee (1 kg): 17,186 litres
Beef (1 kg): 31.000 litres(source: UN)

ACCESSIBLE FRESH WATER

This means there is every reason to take good care of the water we have, and touse efficient and sustainable methods in distribution. This includes drinking watersupply, but certainly also water for irrigation purposes.
A great challenge within irrigation is timing. To reach optimum efficiency, it is
crucial to only water when the soil is dry, no rain is forecasted, and the sun isn’t
out to dry up the water immediately. For these reasons, it makes sense to rely ona data collecting system.

SMART WATER MANAGEMENT
Smart water has become one of AVK’s main topics. We offer products built for a digital control system, both within drinking water and irrigation distribution.
Areas, where it is crucial to only deliver the necessary amount at the correct time.
HYDROPASS is the ultimate surveillance- and controlling system for irrigation where the user can optimise based on proper planning. The system can beconnected to national geo-data, delivering information about the soil’s status at the time of planned irrigation, and about the local weather forecast carrying
valuable data about approaching rain showers.
HYDROPASS also keeps track of water usage, and in case of alerts, it can shut down any activated irrigation.

SMART WATERIRRIGATIONCASE STORYSMART IRRIGATION SAVES WATER AND ENERGY, CUTSCOSTS AND CONTRIBUTE TO A MORE SUSTAINABLE
INFRASTRUCTURE

In corporation with Consorzio di Bonifica Sannio Alifano, AC.MO S.r.l. has completed an extensive
modernisation of irrigation systems.
In the Sannio Alifano area, which is situated around Naples, Italy, the local
rural areas have been upgraded to meet the future needs and challenges ofthe farming business.

The irrigation networks have been equipped with remote control systems andautomated delivery groups for regulating water distribution to the users bymeans of an electronic card.

The main goals of the project were to upgrade the existing network of open
channels to a complete piped pressurised network, to be able to achieve moreproductivity, to reduce the total water consumption, and to be able to manage
the changes in climate.

To manage water resources more efficiently, an irrigation advisory system(IRRISAT) offers farmers the opportunity to receive “irrigation advice” onthe optimum moment to irrigate, and the appropriate amount of water. It
integrates remote sensing and agrometeorology, and produces maps of cropwater requirements:

USING DATA AND CALCULATIONS
Knowledge is power. This also goes for crop farming, where the more helpful
information available, the higher water efficiency and the more yield as endproduct.

HOW IRRISAT WORKSPROJECT RESULTS

IRRISAT PUTS DATA IN THE FARMERS’ HANDS WITHIN 36 HOURSFROM THE SATELLITE PASS, FOLLOWING THIS SEQUENCE:• monitoring the crop growth through the analysis of satellite data in thevisible and near infrared wavelengths,• acquisition of meteorological data,• processing of images for the estimation of crop water requirements
by using F.A.O. models, and integrating the data into a geographic
information system (GIS).
Data is made available to the end user by e-mail, SMS and via a
dedicated web-page.

20 | THE AVK GROUP OF COMPANIESTo the project, which was realised in 2015, AC.MO S.r.l. delivered about
2,000 electronic hydrants. The complete management software isconnected to satellite control and the existing billing system.
The project results show water savings of about 25 – 30% without lossof production, energy savings and community costs, Increased farmer
competition within the market, and detection of unauthorized irrigationand over-consumption.
And in the bigger picture, efficiency in farming encourages biodiversity inproduction, and can help revert the depopulation which is a big issue inthe area. Also, it will assist in securing the landscape and the necessary
food supply.
The project is also an example of perfect collaboration between the
ACMO technician, the water company and the final customers, the local
farmers.

TURNING WASTEWATER
INTO A RESSOURCETHE BACKBONE IN EVERY
WATER SYSTEM
Access to clean water is often taken for granted, just like the fresh air we breathe. We forget that clean water
is a product, and that producing enough is a comprehensive, detailed process.
In 2030, half of the world’s population will lack access to clean water based on UN prognosis. Globally,
countless water supply networks are in such poor condition that about 40% of all distributed water worldwide
is simply lost in transportation. Reducing water losses and non-revenue water levels are key priorities whenworking towards SDG #6: assuring access to water and sanitation for all.
CASE STORYCASE STORYREDUCING WATER LOSSES IN MALAYSIA IS OF GREAT IMPORTANCE.
FOR BOTH ENVIRONMENTAL AND FINANCIAL REASONS, THE
GOVERNMENT FOCUSES ON REPAIRING OLD PIPELINES AND
INSTALLING NEW ONESThe project was for 60,000 tapping saddles, 60,000 repair clamps, 5,600
gate valves and 600 air valves. Quality was a very important issue, as well as
the 10-year product warranty and our halal certificates for the grease used toassemble our valves.

The price of water in Malaysia is very low and does not cover the actual costs.
Huge amounts of unidentified water losses call for the government to support
the water board companies with major funding each year.

Before the launch of the project, water losses in the state of Kelantan wasmeasured to 45%. A year after our project ended, the non-revenue water
is measured to 30%. The pipelines have been repaired and are working
well. Some of the issues now to be addressed are the more difficult ones
to identify. In Malaysia there is a huge problem with people tapping water
directly from the pipelines trying to get around the household meters and withhousehold meters that are malfunctioning or tampered with and therefore notmeasuring correctly. This causes a continuous huge amount of water loss.

Many factors need to be considered when trying to identify water losses;
leaking pipes, valves or tapping saddles as well as more difficult factors to
identify such as malfunctioning domestic household meters, theft of water andlacking management skills of the water company.
Non-revenue water within a utility’s network is a huge source of wastage.
It adds greatly to operating costs, and leaks can add big complications andexpenses to the sustainable management of water services. Hence, theMalaysian government and the Kelantan State decided to initiate the reductionof non-revenue water by focusing on repairing pipelines.

30-50% of a municipality’s energy consumption is used for water- and wastewater handling. The waterand wastewater sector accounts for 8% of the global energy consumption. What if wastewater is seen as aresource instead of a problem? What if we can turn wastewater into renewable energy, producing electricity,
biogas, district heating or -cooling, and recover other valuable resources from the sludge, e.g. phosphorus?
What if is no longer a relevant question. It is possible, and there a various benefits for both ulitities and for ourenvironment.

With help from AVK, Mariagerfjord wastewater plant has been able to expand

then transported in closed semitrailers, which is a cheap and “smell-safe” way
to store the sludge. The cleaning process is so efficient that the discharge oforganic materials, nitrogen, and phosphorus is significantly less than the total
discharge of the 10 wastewater treatment plants it is replacing.

Centralising wastewater treatment in one large plant is a growing trend in
Denmark. It makes it possible to treat the sludge and then stabilise it in an
aerobe process in a digestion tank, where the organic material is transformed
into methane and carbon dioxide. This, considerably, reduces sludge amounts
making it a huge gain for the environment.
More specifically, a 2,000 m3 digestion tank reduces the amount of sludge
and makes it possible to produce biogas that is transformed into energy used
for heating and electricity. The digested sludge is dewatered in decanters and

FIRE PROTECTION
SAFETY, RELIABLITY AND QUALITY

THE BACKBONE IN EVERYGAS SYSTEM
Gas is an efficient energy source for production, heating and households. When working with gas supply, safety,
quality and durability are indispensable elements – all of which are part of our range of valves and accessories.
Applications include gas distribution, gas plant work and gas transmission. AVK valves and accessories forgas are thoroughly tested and approved by leading national and international testing institutes. AVK does notcompromise on quality and offers reliable products that operate faultlessly even after many years of standstill.

CASE STORYGREEN REVOLUTION: AIMING FOR BLUE SKIES
Decades ago, the Chinese government started looking into the misty
phenomenon, which was first thought to be a type of fog lingering in
especially larger cities. It turned out to be intense air pollution, or what werefer to as smog – tiny, emitted particles posing severe health risks andclimatic impact.
Committed to change, China has introduced numerous game-changing
alterations under an umbrella-project known as the Blue Sky initiative; anextensive shift to greener methods aiming to bring back the blue skies overthe country.
To prioritise their efforts, the Chinese government conducted research
to determine the primary sources to the harmful emissions. They foundthat about a third of the generated smog was connected to heating; more
specifically, to the heavy use of coal gas throughout the country.
FROM COAL TO NATURAL GAS
The smallest particles found in dense smog are too small to be seen with the
naked eye. Being less than 2.5 microns in diameter, they are small enough to
not only reach the lungs but to cross into the bloodstream as well. The World
Health Organization (WHO) sets the maximum safe limit of exposure over a
24-hour period to 25 of the smallest (PM2.5) particles in every cubic metreof air. Regularly, and especially in winter times, this level exceeds well above
200, forcing public institutions, schools and work places to close down. A
reality that the Chinese population would no longer accept.

Fire protection installations are essential in societies aiming to protect people, environment, and buildings
from uncontrollable fires. Fire fighters must react fast and be efficient in dangerous situations which calls for areliable water supply and fire equipment. Even after prolonged periods of idle time, an AVK product will operate
flawlessly. Applications within this segment include both indoor and outdoor fire protection.

CASE STORYAVK ASSISTS IN THE FIRE PROTECTION OF VITAL STATIONS ACROSSA VAST, INTERNATIONAL NETWORK DELIVERING NATURAL GAS TO
TURKISH AND EUROPEAN CUSTOMERSStakeholders from the Azerbaijani, Italian, and Turkish governments areworking together with British Petrol (BP) in a project of bringing natural gas
from Azerbaijan to Turkey and Europe. The gas will travel through a 1850 km
main pipeline system across Turkey. The expected capacity of this massive
project is the delivery of 16 billion cubic meters of gas per year; a volume thatis anticipated to gradually increase to 31 billion cubic meters annually.

More specifically, AVK has delivered NRS gate valves with post indicatorflange, post indicators and high-pressure dry barrel fire hydrants for the
project. The chosen fire protection range is manufactured in Europe and has
an important customer base in Turkish construction companies which serveboth Turkey and abroad countries. One of the main criteria for AVK’s successwithin this segment is the availability of UL and FM approved NRS and OS&Y
gate valves up to DN400 as well as both dry and wet barrel fire hydrants - allwith competitive lead times.

PROTECTING CRUCIAL PIPELINE STATIONS
More than 10 sections have been tendered in the project and Tekfen
Construction and Installation Co., Inc. – an AVK customer - is the contractor
for one of these sections. This part of the project covers the compression andmetering stations in Turkey, where Tekfen has engineered and constructed
two compressor stations and four measuring stations over the pipeline. They
preferred AVK fire protection solutions, consisting of UL and FM approved dry
barrel hydrants, gate valves and post indicators for protection purposes, ofwhich we have supplied more than 100 sets.

Starting off with the bigger cities, the dedicated goal is to switch the entire
country’s heating sources to natural gas. As the installed coal gas pipes
cannot carry natural gas, entire pipelines and equipment is being upgraded.
So far, The AVK Group has delivered more than 27.000 products to upgrade
projects and expect to increase their contributions in the years to come.
Primarily, these include series 36 and 46 from AVK International A/S, and ballvalves from AVK Plastics.
Positive results are already seen in the Chinese skies,
and at AVK we are proud to assist in the manytransformative activities.

WASTE GAS PURIFICATION:
REDUCING ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPACT
CASE STORY

30 LUXURY CRUISE SHIPS FROM ITALY GET EQUIPPED WITH
WASTE GAS PURIFICATION SYSTEMS

During a joint project with Ecospray Technologies, InterApp was involved in
the successful completion process by providing high-quality solutions andfirst-class logistics. At the same time, it helped to strengthen ecological values
in the cruise ship industry.
Ecospray Technologies is specialised in developing innovative highperformance purification systems for regulating the production of waste gas
in a variety of industries. The Italian company is committed to the climate
requirements of our times, and their innovations enable system operators to
reduce both their emissions and their environmental impact.
Ecospray has made a real name for itself, especially in the cruise shipindustry, by providing multi-stage waste gas control systems to purify air.
They prevent nitrogen oxide, sulphur, carbon hydride, heavy metal, soot andash from being released into the atmosphere. This is one benefit that has anextremely positive impact on mankind and the environment, especially in port
and coastal areas.
This project involved equipping 30 luxury cruise ships with waste gas
purification systems. Ecospray was seeking a reliable technical partner
capable of supplying the entire range of butterfly valves. It opted for InterApp,
since its products met the project’s ambitious targets in terms of quality andmaterial requirements. InterApp has been providing Ecospray with support
since the development phase and supplied everything from one source.

CASE STORYAT OUR CASTING FOUNDRY IN NORWAY, WE ARE
COMMITTED TO TAKING CARE OF OUR NATURE, AND
IN RUNNING OUR BUSINESS IN A WAY THAT HAS THE
MINIMUM IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENT AS POSSIBLE

ENERGY-NEUTRAL PRODUCTION AT FURNES JERNSTØPERI AS
For our casting production, where we cast and mould many different typesof industrial products, we use an energy provider that produces renewableenergy in the nearby hydropower plants in Hallingskarvet and Hardangervidda,
Norway.
By attaching a guarantee of origin to our electricity contract, we can ensurethat the corresponding amount of electricity consumed is produced fromLOST FOAM TECHNOLOGYCASE STORYBOOSTING EFFICIENCY IN PRODUCTION WHILE REDUCING
THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

At our Advanced Castings A/S foundry, which is supplying the AVK Group with valve, hydrant and other metal
castings, we use the innovative lost foam method.

energy sources that are 100% renewable. At an additional NOK 0,025 / kWh
we can make an active choice for renewable energy.
With our consumption last year, a guarantee of origin will cost us an extra
NOK 400,000,- a year, in addition to the cost of the electricity.
At the moment, Furnes Jernstøperi AS is also working to establish anenvironmental accounting for their business.

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY PRODUCTION
The lost foam method refers to the process of creating a foam modelof the desired casting, embedding it in binder-less molding sand andfinally replacing the foam with molten metal. This opens a world of design
opportunities and offers longer tooling life, as foam tooling can last for
hundreds of thousands of cycles, corresponding to millions of components.
The process allows the creation of complex parts with near net shape andwith no use of cores, making it possible to reduce or eliminate the material
waste. Production allows low wall thickness and draft angles, which helps
reduce the component weight.
The sand used to embed the foam model is ceramic sand, and no useof binder is required. This makes demoulding easy, and the sand can be
46 | THE AVK GROUP OF COMPANIES

reclaimed to a very high degree; in general, above 99% in total. The process
therefore only leaves around 1% of sand for disposal and barely any dust.
The process allows an improvement in performance, reducing the energy
consumption and particle emissions into the atmosphere. Also, it helps tocreate a safer working environment in our production.
We use recycled steel scrap as the main material in our castings, constituting
85-90% of the total melt. Melting is done in electric induction furnaces.
AT AVK Advanced Castings A/S, we have a safety-oriented culture and arerenowned for our clean working environment. Our foundry is regularly visitedby other foundries and government officials looking for updated knowledge

RECYCLING IN AVKPRODUCTIONGREEN POWER GENERATION
AND MARITIME
TRANSPORTATIONDECADES OF PLASTIC DUMPING HAS LEFT OUR NATURE AND
OCEANS POLLUTED AND SUFFERINGHARNESSING THE WIND CONTINUES TO BE ONE OF THE FASTESTGROWING INDUSTRIAL SEGMENTS IN THE WORLD

Luckily, we see many great initiatives to collect plastic waste all over the world. And it’s one thing to remove
the unwanted plastics scattered around, reducing the direct contamination of the environment. But what if it
could gain new life as a valuable product somewhere else?
These were the key reasons for our Group owner and CEO, Niels Aage Kjær,to start incorporating recycled materials in AVK production. AVK is now a big
customer to recycled plastic materials, producing and selling products withrecycled materials for more than 26m EUR every year.
When used properly, plastic is in fact environmentally friendly. Every year,
AVK production of primarily plastic pallets and surface boxes is based on
more than 19,000 tonnes of recycled plastic materials in our production sites
in Denmark and the Netherlands - AVK Plast A/S and AVK Plastics BV. The
plastic is mostly bought from Sweden and Holland, as they are very efficientin their recycling efforts.

WASTED OPPORTUNITIESIn Denmark alone, more than 400,000 tonnes of plastic waste are discarded
every year. Half of the amount is incinerated and used for heating, emitting
huge amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The remaining isroughly sorted due to inefficient sorting and recycling efforts, and more thanhalf is shipped out of the country. While some is lost in nature, only around50,000 tonnes are left for recycling.

In the landscape of more than half of all countries
worldwide, you’ll find wind turbines including key
components from AVK Tooling’s factories in Denmarkand Poland.
The components comprise a steel insert, which is used at the root connectionof the turbine, making sure that the blade is firmly secured to the windturbine.Within the wind industry, AVK Tooling’s biggest customers include
Vestas and Nordex, with a combined experience of more than 75 years.
SINGLE SUPPLIERS TO LEADING ENGINE SYSTEMS
Through a long-term cooperation, we have achieved the status of being single
supplier of machined bronze parts for Volvo Penta’s IPS propulsion system.
Every year, more than 2000 parts are delivered to their assembly lines.
The IPS system is used within both luxury and commercial boating and can befound in harbors all over the world.
DIRECT DELIVERY

Among other types, the recycledplastic includes grinded soda
caps and cutting waste fromused airbags. As new quality
products, the lifetime of the“old” plastic is extended with
about 50 years.

48 | THE AVK GROUP OF COMPANIESFor various industries, AVK Tooling deliver items in various materials such as
cast iron, aluminum, bronze and from steel bars. Their services cover rawmaterial, machining, surface treatment and final assembly if required.
As tier 1 suppliers, AVK Tooling produces and delivers directly to theassembly lines. All customers are supplied from fully automised productionlines, covering both machining and surface treatment. Quality is always
documented through a state-of-the-art quality department.
