Introduction To Unique Mixproof Horizontal

The Alfa Laval Unique Mixproof Horizontal Tank Valve is a versatile and highly flexible double block and bleed valve, ensuring the safe and efficient management of fluids at intersection points in matrix piped systems. Specifically designed to enhance the cleanliness of horizontal tank connections, it guarantees that no area of the tank inlet or tank outlet is left uncleaned. This valve is crafted for horizontal mounting on the side of a tank or as a space-saving alternative at the bottom of a cone-formed tank. Its self-cleaning design ensures state-of-the-art cleanability in the shadow area, where there is no Cleaning-in-Place pressure or flow from the tank side to clean the connection. Derived from the proven and versatile Alfa Laval Unique Mixproof Valve, the Unique HT Mixproof Valve brings the benefits of handling two different products or fluids in the same valve without any risk of cross-contamination. The valve provides greater flexibility by allowing the filling and emptying of a tank simultaneously.

Unique Mixproof Horizontal Tank How It Work

The Alfa Laval Unique HT Mixproof Valve is a normally closed (NC) valve controlled from a remote location by means of compressed air. The valve has two independent plugs to separate the liquids; the space between the seals forms a leakage chamber at atmospheric pressure during every working condition. Leakage rarely occurs but, should it occur, product leaks into the leakage chamber and exits through the bottom outlet for easy detection. When the valve is open, the leakage chamber is closed. The product then flows from one line to the other. The radial design of the valve ensures that virtually no product spillage occurs during valve operation. It is possible to adapt valve cleaning and water hammer protection to the requirements of individual process specifications.
