The Orbinox EB model knife gate is a bi-directional valve designed for general industrial service applications. The design of the body and seat assures non-clogging shutoff on suspended solids. The bi-directional EB model, with its vulcanized Nitrile (or EPDM) seat and zero body cavity, has proven to be a great knife gate valve in the market for anaerobic digestion (AD).
AD is a collection of processes by which micro-organisms break down biodegradable material in the absence of oxygen. The process is used for industrial or domestic purposes to manage waste and/or to produce fuels. The process produces a biogas, consisting of methane, carbon dioxide, and traces of other ‘contaminant’ gases, which is widely used as a source of renewable energy.
Orbinox specializes in providing valve, automation and engineering solutions across all industries, and they are focused and motivated by the continuously developing waste to energy sector. Waste to energy is an exciting area as the economic, agronomic and environmental advantages and benefits are great. Orbinox has extensive experience in supplying valves to AD and Biogas markets and have a large installed base in plants worldwide with solid references from most of the major technology providers.
