Rotork won a supply contract to Irish Water

As part of a major modernisation programme at the Kilkit Water Treatment Plant in County Monaghan, Irish Water has installed Rotork’s intelligent CKc range of modular electric actuators at the site. In a contract awarded to Rotork by Coffey Water Ltd., inlet penstocks have been automated with CKc actuators to provide reliable on/off control, position monitoring and data logging of operating history to support asset management.
The penstocks are now fitted with CKc double-sealed actuators which are certified IP68 watertight and temporarily submersible (8 metres for 96 hours).
The penstock project is part of a contract for Irish Water to upgrade the Lough Egish Regional Water Supply which will see a €4.5 million investment in the Kilkit Water Treatment Plant to benefit approximately 12,000 consumers in County Monaghan. Once completed the upgraded treatment plant will have an increased design output of 5.5 million litres per day (MLD) which will ensure that current water demands can be met, with capacity to meet future development needs.
