Reliable Desulfurization Tower Butterfly Valve for Marine Use, Backed by Comprehensive After-Sales Service
Product Spotlights
As a leading valve manufacturer with a strong focus on maritime and industrial fluid control, Shanghai Zhibang Valve is proud to offer our specialized Reliable Desulfurization Tower Butterfly Valve. Engineered specifically for the demanding environments of marine scrubber systems, this valve is a critical component for vessel operators committed to compliance with stringent international emissions regulations like IMO 2020. Our valves are built to ensure dependable isolation and control within flue gas desulfurization (FGD) towers, handling aggressive slurry and corrosive gases with minimal maintenance. Backed by our comprehensive after-sales support network, we provide not just a product, but a complete solution for reliable and compliant maritime operation.
The core value of our marine butterfly valve lies in its robust construction and specialized design. We understand that failure in a scrubber system can lead to costly downtime and non-compliance. Therefore, every valve is designed and tested to perform under the unique challenges posed by seawater, sulfur compounds, and fluctuating temperatures.
- Corrosion-Resistant Materials: We offer a range of material trims to match specific service conditions. Standard bodies are in carbon steel with epoxy coating, while critical wetted parts like the disc and stem are available in 316 stainless steel, duplex steel, or high-grade alloys like Alloy C276 for extreme chloride and acid environments.
- Robust Seat & Seal Design: The valve features a resilient PTFE seat for excellent bubble-tight shut-off against abrasive slurry. For higher temperature applications or fire-safe requirements, a metal-seated design with special hard-facing is available.
- Heavy-Duty Stem & Disc Connection: A one-piece or securely pinned disc-to-stem connection prevents slippage and ensures positive positioning, which is vital for precise flow control in the scrubbing process.
- Extended Service Life: Features like reinforced bearings, external stem seals, and anti-blowout stem design are incorporated to extend maintenance intervals and enhance operational safety.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Q: Is this butterfly valve suitable for handling abrasive slurry in a scrubber?
A: Yes, it is specifically designed for this duty. We offer material combinations like a carbon steel body with an epoxy internal coating and a hard-faced stainless steel or alloy disc to resist abrasion and corrosion from slurry. -
Q: What is the lead time for a custom-sized valve with a specific actuator?
A: Standard sizes are typically available from stock or have shorter lead times. For custom configurations involving special materials, large sizes, or specific actuators, lead times vary. We provide accurate timelines upon receipt of your detailed specifications. -
Q: Do you provide documentation packages with the valves?
A: Yes. Each valve shipment includes a comprehensive documentation package, which may consist of material certificates, pressure test reports, assembly drawings, operation manuals, and packing lists, compliant with maritime industry standards. -
Q: Can the valve be supplied with fire-safe certification?
A: We can provide valves designed to meet fire-safe standards such as API 607 or ISO 10497. Please specify this requirement during inquiry so we can configure the valve with the appropriate metal seat and stem seal design. -
Q: How does your after-sales service work for international customers?
A: Our after-sales service includes remote technical support, assistance with installation and troubleshooting, and a reliable supply chain for genuine spare parts. We coordinate through our network to ensure support is accessible in your region. -
Q: What is the difference between wafer and lug type for this application?
A: Wafer-style valves are installed between two flanges using through-bolts. Lug-style valves have threaded inserts (lugs) allowing them to be bolted directly to each flange, enabling isolation of downstream piping for maintenance. The choice depends on your system design and maintenance philosophy. -
Q: Are your valves tested before shipment?
A> Absolutely. Every valve undergoes a series of tests, including hydrostatic shell tests, seat leakage tests (often with air or water per ISO 5208), and operational tests for actuated valves. Test reports are provided as part of the documentation.
