With the increasingly strict global environmental regulations, the industrial sector has put forward higher requirements for the energy efficiency, corrosion resistance, and reliability of fluid control equipment. As a brand in the field of Italian industrial valves, Burocco has demonstrated significant advantages in environmental protection scenarios such as sewage treatment, waste gas treatment, and resource recycling with its pneumatic switch valve performance. This article combines specific cases to analyzeBurocco pneumatic switch valveHow to help upgrade the environmental protection industry through technological innovation.
1、 Wastewater treatment: high-precision flow control improves treatment efficiency
Application scenarios
In the aeration tank, sedimentation tank, and sludge dewatering process of sewage treatment plants, precise control of gas and liquid flow rates and pressures is required. For example, the aeration tank needs to dynamically adjust the air flow rate according to the dissolved oxygen concentration to avoid energy waste caused by excessive aeration or microbial activity affected by insufficient aeration.
Buracco Solution:
VPFL series pneumatic switch valve: adopts a spherical valve core design, with a leakage rate as low as 0.01%, ensuring the accuracy of gas delivery.
VPFA series ductile iron valve: suitable for liquid media, excellent corrosion resistance, and can operate stably for a long time in corrosive environments such as chlorine, acid and alkali.
Remote control function: supports PLC or DCS system access, realizes real-time adjustment of flow and pressure, and reduces manual intervention costs.
Case verification
After replacing traditional valves with Burocco VPFL-DN25 pneumatic valves, a certain European sewage treatment plant improved aeration efficiency by 15%, saved about 200000 kWh of electricity annually, and reduced sludge production by 10%, significantly reducing operating costs.
2、 Waste gas treatment: explosion-proof design ensures safe operation
Application scenarios
The exhaust gas treatment system in industries such as chemical and petroleum needs to treat gases containing flammable and explosive components (such as VOCs, hydrogen sulfide). Traditional valves are prone to leakage and even explosion accidents due to poor sealing or insufficient explosion-proof rating.
Buracco Solution:
VPOO/3 series explosion-proof pneumatic valve: certified by ATEX, suitable for Zone 1/2 hazardous areas. The valve body is made of stainless steel 316L material, which is corrosion-resistant and anti-static.
Quick response feature: With a switch time of less than 50ms, the gas pathway can be quickly cut off to prevent the accident from escalating.
Sealing technology: using droplet oil polyethylene sealing ring, it can still maintain zero leakage under high pressure difference.
Case verification
After introducing the Burocco VPOO/3-DN65 pneumatic valve into the waste gas incinerator of a certain petrochemical enterprise, the leakage rate decreased from 0.5% to 0.001%, reducing VOCs emissions by more than 5 tons per year while avoiding production losses caused by valve failures.
3、 Resource recycling: High temperature and high pressure resistance to support circular economy
Application scenarios
In systems such as waste incineration power generation and waste heat recovery, high-temperature steam, flue gas, and other media need to be treated. Traditional valves are prone to problems such as jamming and leakage due to material or design defects.
Buracco Solution:
VO-VP/FL series high-temperature control valve: Operating temperature range of -30 ℃ to+350 ℃, suitable for high-temperature media such as steam and hot oil.
Wear resistant material: The valve core is coated with tungsten carbide, with a hardness of HRA90, and its service life is extended by three times.
Energy recovery optimization: By precisely controlling the steam flow rate, the efficiency of the waste heat boiler is improved and the coal consumption for power generation is reduced.
Case verification
After adopting the Burocco VO-VP/FL-DN80 control valve, the steam flow control accuracy of a certain waste incineration plant has been improved from ± 5% to ± 1%, increasing the annual power generation by about 1.2 million kWh, which is equivalent to reducing carbon emissions by 800 tons.
4、 Technical Advantage: Core Competitiveness in Environmental Protection Scenarios
Material Innovation
Ductile iron GGG40: Tensile strength ≥ 400MPa, better impact resistance than ordinary cast iron, suitable for high-pressure working conditions.
Stainless steel 316L: containing molybdenum element, with a pitting corrosion resistance equivalent PREN ≥ 24, suitable for environments containing chloride ions.
structural optimization
Dual cylinder straight stroke design: reduces friction, lowers energy consumption, and increases operating torque by 30%.
Modular design: supports quick replacement of vulnerable parts such as valve cores and seals, reducing maintenance time by 50%.
Intelligent integration
IO Link communication protocol: Real time transmission of valve status, temperature, pressure and other data, supporting predictive maintenance.
Energy saving mode: Automatically reduces gas source pressure in non working state, reducing energy consumption by 40%.
5、 Future prospects: Integration of green manufacturing and intelligent control
With the pursuit of the "zero leakage" goal in the environmental protection industry, Burocco is developing a new generation of pneumatic switch valves:
Nano coating technology: Deposition of superhydrophobic coating on the surface of the valve body to further enhance corrosion resistance.
AI driven control: Optimizing valve opening through machine learning to match flow and energy consumption.
Hydrogen energy adaptation: Develop specialized valves suitable for hydrogen media to support the development of the new energy industry.
