Series 300 – Water Treatment Plant in Southwestern US
Water treatment is any process that improves the quality of water to make it more acceptable for a specific end use. The end use may be drinking, industrial water supply, irrigation, river flow maintenance, water recreation or many other uses, including being safely returned to the environment. Water treatment removes contaminants and undesirable components, or reduces their concentration so that the water becomes fit for its desired end use. The source water for a municipal water treatment plant is typically a local river, lake, or reservoir and most times these plants utilize water from more than one source. Obviously, there must be a method to get this water from those sources to the water treatment plant. Quite often, a series of control valves, pumps and pipelines transport the water to the treatment plant. This is where OCV comes in… At a water treatment plant in the southwestern United States, we manufactured and delivered this nearly 6’ tall, 4’ long, 24” OCV Dorot Series 300 Pressure Reducing & Pressure Sustaining Control Valve. This valve is designed for use anywhere a pressure must be reduced to a manageable level and the upstream system must be protected from low pressure. OCV Dorot Series 300 – Impressive low flow performance!
“We appreciate the prompt responses and the outstanding customer service that the OCV team consistently provides!”

“Our customer was in a shutdown and needed a 2.5” valve immediately. OCV stepped up and was able to build the 2.5” valve in one day and ship it next day air to the customer. Fantastic work!!”

“A lot of companies preach customer service, but their actions don’t reflect it. That’s not the case when it comes to OCV. I have met many associates at OCV, from Plant to Sales to Engineering – all are focused on taking care of their customers. OCV is expedient in quoting projects and has even been known to troubleshoot valves from other manufacturers and construct valves in an emergency to get a city out of a jam. OCV practices what they preach!”
