For over 10 years our company has been working for optimal management of flows and pressures in water distribution systems. Our experience has definitely shown that the best approach for active pressure management in PMZ is the Real-Time pressure control at Critical Point (RTCP).
In fact this method eliminates inaccuracies due to a lot of assumptions, imprecise compromises and structural inconveniences resulting by traditional methods based on estimates and models.
The RTCP System is the innovative solution to adjust automatically and immediately the Critical Point pressure depending on changes in the water demand.
lt continuously monitors network situation and pressure values at critical point (CP) and in real-time acts on PRVs or pumps to minimize pressure and to prevent pressure transients in PMZ.
The water network becomes a reliable and efficient system able to provide the best customer service. lndeed optimal pressure values minimize water losses, energy costs and burst frequency, extending asset lifetimes and reducing operating costs.
This solution is the best practice for active pressure management as recommended by IWA practical approach.
The RTCP System consists of two functional blocks:
The RTCP System does not require other technologies (eg. remote servers) and does not need periods of auto-learning necessary to other solutions. lndeed, thanks to real-time transmission of CP pressure values, the RTCP System has the actual pressure value in any moment and not an estimated value that will never be exact. Since it is based on real values and not statistical values, the pressure adjustment is the best possible.
The RTCP algorithm is able to recognize a sudden demand of water responding with appropriate supply.
Hyter and its partners validated an AEMWE electrolyser up to 1 MW in an industrial environment, achieving hydrogen purity up to 99.999%.
Pietro Fiorentini, Athena, 2RZ, the Department of Chemical Sciences of the University of Padua and UniSMART Foundation have joined forces in the Veneto Region-funded LEONE project — LEan Optimisation of Novel Electrolysers. Over 30 months, the partners will work to simplify electrolyser manufacturing, improve reliability and reduce dependence on critical and costly materials. The project […]
2025 was marked by evolving geopolitical dynamics and shifting international balances. In this complex scenario, the solidity of the Pietro Fiorentini Group ensured the continuity needed to face challenges and seize opportunities responsibly and with a long-term vision. Built on this resilience and the Group’s new governance structure, the 2025 Sustainability Report is titled “Many […]
