In collaboration with Euroports, multiple logistics halls and storage floors are being built, contributing to the expansion of the Port of Engis, a major port infrastructure hub in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this context, Eloy has entrusted Deschacht with a major technical challenge: equipping the site with a flow control system capable of managing an exceptional flow rate of 165 liters per second.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Unique solution for huge flow rate of 165 l\/s<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The urban planning permit imposed an exceptionally high flow rate. A standard solution was impossible. Not a single competitor was able to offer a sustainable, calculated and validated device capable of regulating such a flow rate.\n\nThe chosen solution: a Hydro-Brake\u00ae Optimum vortex flow control device, fully custom-made in AISI 304 stainless steel by our partner Hydro International. Compared to a traditional regulator, this model stands out for its vortex effect, which makes it possible to achieve an impressive flow rate of 165 l\/s with a low head of water. Moreover, this is the first application of this technology in Belgium, a true innovation in the field of hydraulic regulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why the vortex technology?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike classical systems with an opening or a flap, vortex technology uses a natural hydrodynamic principle:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>the incoming flow generates a vortex that precisely regulates the flow rate,<\/li>\n<li>no motorized mechanism necessary,<\/li>\n<li>The system remains operational, even during a power outage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The technical advantages are numerous:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hydraulic stability: management of peak flows and optimal downstream protection.<\/li>\n<li>Self-cleaning effect: the vortex limits deposits and greatly reduces the risk of clogging.<\/li>\n<li>Reliability: no moving parts, so low wear and maintenance.<\/li>\n<li>Optimization: reduction of the required storage volume in the basins.<\/li>\n<li>Robustness: stainless steel construction for durability and strength<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For this project, the large-format flow regulator was placed in a concrete chamber with an internal diameter of 2 x 2 meters. Hydro International also provided the installation instructions, including for the placement of the device in an ideal position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A successful joint project<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our project manager Nordine, together with Eloy Travaux and our partner Hydro International, coordinated this project from A to Z. Thanks to this partnership and the integration of vortex technology, the new warehouse in Hermalle-sous-Huy features an innovative, sustainable hydraulic system that is fully tailored to the future needs of Eloy Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.deschacht.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/484_EloyPark-Regulateur-Vortex-2.png\" alt=\"484 EloyPark Regulateur Vortex 2\"\/><\/figure>","protected":false},"featured_media":3149,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"activiteiten":[177,174],"producten":[167],"class_list":["post-3148","realisaties","type-realisaties","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","activiteiten-engineering","activiteiten-weg-en-rioolwerken","producten-ddselect"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Hydro-Brake\u00ae debietregelaar Eloy Park Engis<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Een Hydro-Brake Optimum-debietregelaar reguleert het water van Eloy Park in Engis.
