Butterfly Valves in Water Treatment Plants

Application guidance for butterfly valves in raw water, filtration, backwash and treated-water systems.

Butterfly Valves in Water Treatment Plants

Water treatment plants use butterfly valves across intake, process, backwash and distribution systems. Each location can impose different coating, actuator and control requirements.

Raw water

Solids, debris and biological activity influence seat and disc selection.

Filter service

Frequent cycling and modulating duty require attention to torque and actuator duty.

Treated water

Potable-water material approvals and hygienic coating systems may be required.

Automation

Coordinate position feedback, interlocks, fail action and travel time with the plant control philosophy.

Information to include with an enquiry

Provide nominal size, pressure rating, medium, temperature, connection standard, materials, operating method, required testing and project documentation. Greysen will review the duty and confirm the final configuration in the approved data sheet.
