Application
Applications of Knife Gate Valves
Knife gate valves may be suitable for a range of industrial processes, subject to the design and manufacturer’s approval.
-
Pulp and paper: Selected stock, pulp and process lines.
-
Wastewater treatment: Suitable sludge and wastewater isolation duties.
-
Mining and minerals: Selected slurry and mineral-processing applications.
-
Chemical processing: Compatible process media, subject to material and seal selection.
-
Bulk solids handling: Selected lines involving suspended solids or process residues.
Not every knife gate valve is suitable for every application. Abrasive media, corrosive chemicals, high temperatures and demanding pressure conditions require specific engineering checks.
