Ooval develops, manufactures and markets hydraulic control valves for irrigation, water networks, fire extinguishing systems, and industrial manufacturing applications. As an Israeli company we excel in dealing with the water scarcity problem, being a world leader country increasing the efficiency of water management.
TecOoval is an innovative project with the objective of designing, testing, manufacturing and introducing into the market a new all-in-one hydraulic control system is based on an innovative elliptical shaped flow passage valve that reduces head losses up to a 40% while assuring a secure management of pipe conditions and fluid quality through a complete system of sensors integrated in the valve (in situ metering), connected to a remote monitoring and control interface. The sensors provide both information and threshold surpassing alerts regarding fluid parameters (flow, pressure and pipe network condition), and water quality (temperature, pH, conductivity, and other customizable parameters). The system allows remote management by operators according to real time needs, leading to more accurate monitoring and water/energy savings.
Thus, the all-in-one TecOoval system comprises:
A mechanical part, consisting in a rigidly sealable control valve for water pressure, flow rate, and pipe network condition (burst control).
An electronic system for full management control of the water network and monitoring of water quality.
A remote communication system that sends the information collected by hydraulic and water quality sensors to both a controller and to the end user, allowing regulation and monitoring to be made on site/online.
In order to confirm the feasibility of our project, we, Ooval, have carried out a 4-month study focusing our efforts on 3 main areas: technically, our team has further evaluated and selected components for the application and prepared a complete Execution Plan for the remaining development and engineering of our new TecOoval system; commercially, we have consolidated our knowledge of the markets and competition to develop a strong marketing strategy; financially, we have drafted detailed financial forecasts, on a 3-year-projection, and confirm the potential return on investment.
