However, that is far from the only application that needs controlled water flows. The demands posed to valves used for these applications differ from those to be met by strict potable water valves.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Water is indispensable for life on the planet. Considering that we have about 1.4 billion cubic kilometers worth of it, one would think that we have plenty to use. Fresh water makes up only about 2.5% of that volume, however, and no more than 0.007% is in the form of directly and relatively easily available potable water from lakes, rivers, or flat groundwater. This shows that water is an asset that requires special protection. It is not surprising that potable water is one of the best-monitored foods and that greatest purity in production, preparation, and distribution must be ensured.<\/p>\n<p>However, water is not always just pure drinking water. What about water that enters into a construction pit or that is used as process water, e.g., for processing of foods? Again, water needs to be transported safely and flows must be controlled. However, this is no longer about \u201cpure, clear\u201d potable water, but about water contaminated with a multitude of different pollutants.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-tt6dla-1bca62e7768dba9bd7c8b7cfe52fdfee av_one_third  avia-builder-el-5  el_after_av_two_third  el_before_av_two_third  flex_column_div  '     ><p><section  class='av_textblock_section av-mov52i8x-42ec58387ea1d69539433f3973502690 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><strong>Press contact:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Diana V\u00f6lkel<br \/>\nEBRO ARMATUREN Gebr.

Its special design means that only the valve disc and the liner touch the medium. Most types of the butterfly valve have a split shaft to reduce resistance and thus increase energy efficiency together with the valve disc design. Maintenance is simple as well \u2013 both for the disc and for the liner.<\/p>\n<p>The Z011-A covers a large number of applications with its wide selection of possible material combinations. This applies both to the valve disc, which may be made of stainless steel or coated with many different materials, and to the liner, which is available, among other materials, in NBR, EPDM, CSM, or FKM. Finally, a large number of outer coatings is available. After all, the valves will be exposed to weather influences, such as sun, rain, and snow, or to production vapors, also referred to as \u201caggressive air\u201d, in use. High-quality corrosion protection thus is a decisive factor. EBRO permits a high-quality industry coating according to the CS3 Coating System, also customized to the situation at hand, as one example.<\/p>\n<p>Another important product is the double-offset WS112 butterfly valve with its \u201cSeal-on-Disc\u201d design for long-term performance and low torque when opening and closing.<\/p>\n<p>EBRO develops and produces its pneumatic and electrical actuator models in-house. This ensures that the installed actuators are optimally aligned with the characteristic curves of the valve, oversizing is securely avoided, and high energy efficiency is ensured. Of course, they can also be combined with actuators from other manufacturers that are delivered fully adjusted with the valve.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-ymp7koj-a59ac39662a45438ec18b646eaee65d4 av_two_third  avia-builder-el-12  el_after_av_two_third  el_before_av_two_third  first flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-mpfd6t8p-fa82d7f54c0cd8a0af9b404f967adb46 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><strong>Safety and durability for a wide range of applications<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Transfer to practice is reflected in some examples to illustrate the many different requirements.<\/p>\n<p>Coal mining in North Rhine-Westphalia ended in late 2018. That does not mean that the work there is over, however. Securing and monitoring tasks are going to continue for decades to come. Mine water management is an important part of this. Water will enter the pit, thereby endangering the potable water if the two mix. There is a risk of hydrostatic damage at the same time. The only solution for this is pumping off groundwater \u2013 for an indeterminate period of time.<\/p>\n<p>Mine water is strongly polluted, e.g., with sulphates and iron. Therefore, EBRO uses valve discs of duplex steels for the plants in NRW, i.e., highly resilient, corrosion-resistant stainless steels. The experts from EBRO are able to securely assess the precise material to be used based on their experience and the available analysis. There are only a few suppliers offering materials such as V4A or CrNiMo steel, which are used for the lignite open-cast mining sites in Lusatia <strong>(Figure 2\/3)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Bodies of water must be protected in the case of tunnels \u2013 for roads or railway tracks \u2013 underneath rivers as well. Water will enter them from both sides and must be securely extracted. It is now polluted, however, and must be purified in filter facilities before it can be returned to the river <strong>(Figure 4\/5).<\/strong> Similar tasks also need to be mastered in building projects with pits that reach groundwater level, when installing underground power lines, or when renovating refineries or old chemical plants<strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-tryhiwj-540f30c3d48f609229de62102afe9ef0 av_two_third  avia-builder-el-14  el_after_av_two_third  el_before_av_two_third  first flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-mpfd98lr-9e59689558d08cc1ce3a4d7a480e3cbf '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><strong>Economic process design<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In all cases, the polluted water will be routed into large filters. Automated backflushing and bubbling are performed periodically to help remove solids from the filter. This requires a valve that opens and closes securely. This is usually done with an electric actuator developed and produced in-house at EBRO to provide a precisely fitting combination with the butterfly valve \u2013 always aligned with the materials used for the disc and liner, and the resulting torques.<\/p>\n<p>This is even more important if the butterfly valve is used for control tasks. The corresponding disc position reduces the cross-section and thus the flow rate, much more economically than a plunger valve could.<\/p>\n<p>Water management technology is important for the food &amp; beverage industry as well, e.g., in the sugar factory or when cleaning and processing vegetables. The EBRO Z011-A is designed to ensure contact exclusively between the process water and the liner. The outer coating of the valve further optimizes corrosion protection, in particular in moist and warm production environments.<\/p>\n<p>The last important item in water management technology is sewage. In this area, butterfly valves are often found in the fourth cleaning stage in sewage treatment plants, where some final sediments and very fine solids remain in the water. The first stages are ruled by Stafsj\u00f6 gate valves, also available in the EBRO range with integrated flange seals.<\/p>\n<p>Control gate valves by EBRO are particularly suitable for phosphorus recovery from sewage sludge. They permit fine control with their V-panels, proving that experts are needed for each of the highly individual tasks in water management.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-ofgbxf7-ed7b1b273988fc311cc022ebbb567973 av_two_third  avia-builder-el-16  el_after_av_two_third  el_before_av_one_third  first flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-mpfd4o8v-b229da0d3c037ea48bf95345a6720302 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h4><strong>Quote from EBRO ARMATUREN:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>\u201cIt takes extensive experience to perfectly design valves and actuators for each specific application.
