Introduction To Unique Mixproof Tank Outlet

The Alfa Laval Unique Mixproof Tank Outlet (TO) Valve is a versatile, highly flexible double block and bleed valve for the safe and efficient management of fluids at intersection points in matrix piped systems. Specially designed for mounting directly on the tank bottom or wall at the inlets and outlets, the valve enables the safe handling of two different products or fluids through the same valve. It provides full drainability and cleanability all the way up to the tank--without any risk of cross contamination. Modular design and a wide variety of options enable the valve to be customized to meet any process requirement for all mixproof tank outlet operations allowing two different products in pipeline and tank.

Unique Mixproof Tank Outlet How It Work

The Alfa Laval Unique Mixproof TO Valve is a normally closed (NC) valve controlled from a remote location by means of compressed air. The valve has two independent plugs and seals 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 flows 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 the tank to the line. The radial design of the valve ensures that virtually no product spillage occurs during valve operation. It is possible to adapt valve cleaning to the requirements of individual process specifications.
