Alfa Laval Unique Mixproof

The Alfa Laval Unique Mixproof Horizontal Tank 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. To improve the cleanliness of the horizontal tank connections. It ensures that no area of the tank inlet or tank outlet is left uncleaned, it is specifically designed 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 provides state-of-the-art cleanability in the shadow area, where no Cleaning-in-Place pressure or flow from the tank side to clean the connection. Based on the proven and versatile Alfa Laval Unique Mixproof Valve, the Unique HT Mixproof Valve enables the benefits of having two different products or fluids in the same valve without any risk of cross-contamination. The valve provides greater flexibility by filling and emptying a tank at the same time

Design

Standard design

The Alfa Laval Unique Mixproof Valve is comprised of a series of base components, including valve body, valve plug, actuator, and cleaning options and accessories that support a wide range of applications. There are four pre-configured versions: the Unique Mixproof Basic; the Unique Mixproof SeatClean Valve; the Unique Mixproof HighClean Valve; and the Unique Mixproof UltraClean Valve. Leakage detection holes enable visual inspection without requiring valve disassembly and provide advance notification of parts wear. Few straightforward moveable parts contribute to reliable operation and reduced maintenance costs. The valve can also be fitted with the Alfa Laval ThinkTop V50 and V70 for sensing and control of the valve.

Working Principle

Working principle

The Alfa Laval Unique Mixproof 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 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.
