Frequently asked

Glossary

1

District heating

A system that supplies heat from a central plant to multiple buildings through insulated pipe networks. In Minsk and other Belarusian cities, district heating is a core part of municipal infrastructure, so exhibitors often present pipe, insulation, metering and heat-exchange technologies.

2

Water treatment

The processes used to make raw water suitable for drinking, industrial use or discharge. Typical stages include coagulation, filtration, disinfection and sludge handling; the equipment is relevant to utilities, factories and municipal service companies.

3

Wastewater treatment

Mechanical, biological and chemical processes that clean sewage before it is returned to the environment. Aeration, sedimentation, membrane and sludge-dewatering systems are common equipment categories at water-sector exhibitions.

4

Water supply network

The underground system of pipes, valves, pumps and storage that delivers potable water from source to consumer. Leak detection, pressure management and rehabilitation technologies are practical concerns for network operators.

5

Boiler house

A facility that generates hot water or steam for heating or process use. Boiler houses may run on gas, electricity, biomass or other fuels, and their efficiency, emissions and safety controls are central topics for heating exhibitors.

6

Heat exchanger

A device that transfers heat between two fluids without mixing them. Plate, shell-and-tube and compact heat exchangers are used in district heating substations, hot-water systems and industrial processes.

7

Piping and fittings

The pipes, elbows, tees, flanges, couplings and valves that form a fluid network. Materials range from steel and cast iron to polymer and composite pipes, with selection driven by pressure, temperature, corrosion risk and installation method.

8

Pumping station

A facility that uses pumps to move water, wastewater or heating medium through a network. Modern stations often include variable-speed drives, telemetry and remote monitoring to reduce energy use and downtime.

9

Water metering

The measurement of water volume used by households, buildings or industrial sites. Metering supports billing, leak detection and demand management, and includes mechanical meters, smart meters and data collection systems.

10

Thermal insulation

Materials and systems that reduce heat loss from pipes, boilers, tanks and building envelopes. In heating networks, pre-insulated pipes and protective casings are important for efficiency and for protecting underground lines.

11

SCADA and telemetry

Supervisory control and data acquisition systems collect sensor data and allow remote operation of pumps, valves, boilers and treatment plants. Telemetry is increasingly used by utilities to monitor pressure, flow and energy consumption across a network.

12

Pressure reducing valve

A valve that lowers incoming pressure to a stable outlet level. It protects downstream equipment and consumers in water supply and heating systems, especially where network pressure varies across a city.
