Ceramic Ball Valves for Liquid Chlorine


Chlorine (Cl2) is among the ten highest volume chemicals manufactured in the United States. It is produced commercially by electrolysis of sodium chloride brine. Chlorine is used in industry and in household cleaning products.

Some of the chemical/physical properties of chlorine include: 

Chlorine is a yellow-green gas at room temperature.

Chlorine has a pungent, irritating odor similar to bleach that is detectable at low concentrations.

The density of chlorine gas is approximately 2.5 times greater than air, which will cause it to initially remain near the ground in areas with little air movement.

Chlorine is not flammable, but may react explosively or form explosive compounds with many common substances (including acetylene, ether, turpentine, ammonia, natural gas, hydrogen, and finely divided metals).

Chlorine is slightly water soluble, and reacts with moisture to form hypochlorous acid (HClO) and hydrochloric acid (HCl).


Chlorine is commonly pressurized and cooled for storage and shipment as an amber-colored liquid.

When Chlorine is cooled for storage and shipment as an amber-colored liquid, PTFE or PFA lined pipes and valves are used to avoid corrosion. But wear and aging occurs easily for PTFE and PFA, new corrosion and abrasion resistant material is required by end users, then Foyo ceramics full lined ball valves solved this problem successfully.


 

In 2009, Sichuan Xinfu Chemical Co.,Ltd. Installed first batch of V-port ceramic ball valves to replace previous PFA lined ball valves. Thanks to the extreme excellent corrosion resistant and wear resistant properties of advanced ceramics Zirconia and High pure alumina, Foyo ceramic ball valves are not degraded at all. Up to Dec,2016, those ceramic ball vales are still on service. It proves that the service life of Foyo ceramic ball valves is more than five times than common PTFE or PFA lined ball valves.
