 Some of the most resourceful
equipment comes in the simplest packages to accomplish some of the most
complex tasks. That's ENQUIP's Gravity Flo Stop Valve. Only one moving
part, scientifically engineered and tested under all types of conditions
and applications, gives you worry-free operation.
The Flo Stop Valve works automatically, no operator
adjustments or maintenance is required.
APPLICATION
The Flo Stop Valve is a proven pollution control
device. It can quickly and easily be applied to many applications
and numerous configurations involving spill protection or liquid
separation. The Flo Stop Valve prevents specified liquids from
leaving a containment area or storage vessel. It's that simple.
The Flo Stop Valve works with any type of atmospheric
vessel where the release of a "heavy" liquid and retention of
a "lighter" liquid is desirable. Storm drains which may be subjected
to possible contamination from hydrocarbons can be retrofitted
with the ENQUIP Gravity Flo Stop Valve so that no contaminates
are released downstream.
OPERATION
To assure proper operation of the Flo Stop Valve,
the specific gravities of any two immiscible liquids should have
a minimum 2% (two percent) weight differential. The heavier phase
flows unrestricted through the valve as the valve shut-off mechanism
floats above the flow channels. The float is designed and weighted
to the specific gravity of the lighter liquid. As the last of
the heavy liquid passes through the valve, the float sinks and
cuts off the flow through the valve thereby assuring retention
of the lighter liquid.
ADVANTAGES
Gravity Flo Stop Valves are available in various
retrofit configurations for ease of field installation. Its self-cleaning
feature makes the unit almost maintenance free. And, because
the unit opens and closes automatically, it is a true "hands
off" valve
for years of trouble-free operation. The Flo Stop Valve is an
economical alternative to an oil monitoring system. It assures
protection of the environment from contamination as well as prevents
the loss of valuable product through human error.
