How to Choose Valves in a Water Treatment System?
- Клапан DELCO
In a water treatment system, choosing the right valve can ensure the safety of the system and avoid unnecessary maintenance. Below DELCO Valve will share how to make the right valve selection in the field of water treatment.


Four Major Factors Affecting the Selection of Valves
The Purpose of the Valve
- Isolation valves: such as gate and ball valves, are suitable for use when the system needs to be completely shut off from flow. They provide a clear on/off function, but are not suitable for adjusting flow.
- Throttling/regulating valves: such as butterfly and globe valves, are able to adjust the amount of media flowing through the valve and are suitable for application scenarios where fine control of flow is required.
Medium Parameters
When selecting a valve, the flow rate of the medium, the pressure of the system and the operating temperature must be considered. These parameters determine the type, material and size of the valve.
Chemical Compatibility
Valve materials must be able to withstand the chemical properties of the media passing through them. For example, for corrosive media, valves of stainless steel or special alloys may be necessary.
Process Requirements
The specific requirements of the process, such as the frequency of operation and allowable leakage rate, is also an important factor in determining the valve selection. High-performance butterfly or ball valves are suitable for applications that require tight gas tightness.
Valves Commonly Used in Water Treatment Systems
Заслонка
Butterfly valve is the most widely used type of valve in wastewater treatment, which circulates media such as sewage, clean water, activated sludge, low-pressure gases for aeration, and so on. Butterfly valve has the advantage of smaller size compared with its diameter, good sealing. The disadvantage is that after the valve is opened, the butterfly plate is still across the center of the circulation pipe, which will produce resistance to the flow of the medium, and the sundries in the medium will cause entanglement on the butterfly plate. Therefore, in the scum pipeline or the medium contains more scum pipeline should avoid using butterfly valve.

The circulating medium of gate valve can be clear water, sewage, sludge, scum, oil or gas. The gate valve is characterized by a completely unobstructed passage when the valve is fully open, so the fluid through the ask valve when the resistance is minimized, there will be no entanglement, so it is suitable for use in the pipeline containing a large number of impurities of sewage, sludge. However, the gate valve exists sealing surface long, easy to leak, large size and other shortcomings.

knife gate valves are used in wastewater systems and are suitable for handling abrasive slurries or sludge, especially in occasions where solid accumulations need to be cut.
Шаровые клапаны
Suitable for applications where precise flow control is required. Globe valves can be automated with positioners, limit switches and other accessories. Globe valves cannot handle slurries.
Шаровые краны
Suitable for isolation applications in small diameter pipelines, providing high pressure and high temperature performance. In wastewater treatment plants, ball valves are commonly used in small and medium-sized pipelines containing a lot of debris, such as sludge and floating light pipelines. Also utilizing their good sealing and high pressure resistance, ball valves are often used in biogas piping in sludge digestion and treatment systems.
Plug Valves
Plug valves are mainly used in pipelines conveying untreated sewage, sludge and grit. They are also used in biogas systems.
