Water, the world’s most undervalued resource.
InPipe Energy believes in a future where clean energy is as abundant as clean water. Water is often taken for granted because it’s cheap and plentiful just as it’s underappreciated for its potential to generate reliable energy. At InPipe, our favorite question is, “What if” we can produce renewable energy from existing or new water pipeline infrastructure – realizing that a majority of U.S. and worldwide energy comes from nuclear and fossil fuels? What if we can ensure energy that’s both predictable and consistent? And what if we can do all that without harming the environment?

We can and we have.
We’ve made it our mission to realize this potential with a proven solution that is reliable and safe – with configurable sizes which are easy to install and deploy. Since it’s ecologically friendly, there’s a quick permitting process. Clean, distributed baseload power to offset your fossil sources or compliment intermittent renewables, add resiliency, and reduce non-revenue water.

At InPipe Energy, we believe the best way to foster a sustainable water supply is to be ready to mediate the effects of aging infrastructure and grid disruptions. The In-PRV does both. It creates energy on-site while managing pressure, providing grid-independent power as it reduces water loss. We build resilience into water management.

PRECISE PRESSURE MANAGEMENT
The In-PRV provides redundancy for existing valves and gives water managers precise control over the pressure in the pipeline during both high and low-flows – something older PRVs don’t provide. The dashboard provides real-time, continuous data on flow, upstream/downstream pressure and energy production.

SYSTEM LONGEVITY
The new level of precision pressure eliminates chatter, vibration and pressure pulses that can lead to leaks and water loss. And because it monitors operations around the clock, maintenance needs are significantly minimized.

RELIABILITY
The product combines smart control software with commercially-proven hardware that is reliable, cost-effective and readily available. All components – including microturbines, control valves and piping are safe for use in water pipelines.

ENERGY SAVINGS
Instead of burning off excess pressure through friction like a traditional valve, the In-PRV converts it into electricity that can be used by the water agency, or routed to the grid to help offset rising energy costs and generate recurring revenue.
