Transporting tailings or concentrate slurries through a long distance pipeline presents tough challenges for valves. The slurry’s abrasive nature and associated particle build-up can be tortuous to the sealing surfaces of valves. Dependable operation becomes more critical in remote areas where scheduling repairs or the replacement of parts is especially difficult.
MOGAS ball valves not only outperform other ball valves in industry tests, but they often replace larger, more cumbersome gate valves. Because they are a floating ball valve design and not trunnion mounted, entrapped solids are merely wiped clean from sealing surfaces with each stroke, requiring less maintenance.
