Biogas

Biogas and green energy plants require valves and actuators to safely manage the flow, pressure and purification of the gas which is often corrosive and contains methane. High quality valves and actuators safely manage the flow, pressure and purification of the gas. They are used across the entire biogas process chain from handling raw organic materials to managing flammable methane gas. Running biogas and green energy without valves and actuators would lead to immediate failure, catastrophic safety hazards and the inability to produce usable green energy.

Challenges:

• Severe corrosion
• Abrasive feedstock and clogging
• Complex liquid handling
• Contaminants in biogas

Solutions:

• Knife gate valves – Used in biogas substrate treatment, slurry feeding and digestate management
• Butterfly valves – Gas regulation and shut off in raw gas pipelines
• Ball valves – Used for sealing performance and reliability in biogas upgrading and high pressure green hydrogen production
• Pinch valves – Used for handling corrosive, abrasive or viscous sludge in waste treatment
• Check valves – Prevents backflow in gas piping systems protects against biogas reverse flow in pipelines
• Linear actuators – Provide precise control in feeding automation
