In projects involving industrial wastewater treatment, chemical water treatment, electroplating wastewater, and environmental neutralization systems, the media often possess characteristics such as strong corrosivity, high salinity, or high chemical reactivity. As one of the most critical control components in a pipeline system, the corrosion resistance of valves directly determines the system's safety, stability, and operating costs.
Among numerous corrosion protection solutions, fluoropolymer-lined valves, with their excellent chemical corrosion resistance and stable sealing performance, have become the mainstream choice for corrosive water treatment systems.
👇 Common corrosive media in the water treatment industry include:
Strong acid and strong alkali wastewater
Water containing chlorine, salt, or high ion concentrations
Chemical reaction residues, pickling and electroplating wastewater
Media in chemical dosing and neutralization systems
👇 Under these conditions, ordinary carbon steel or conventional stainless steel valves are prone to the following problems:
Corrosion of the valve body and sealing surfaces, leading to leakage
Short valve life, requiring frequent maintenance and replacement
Instable system operation, increasing the risk of downtime
Therefore, water treatment systems place higher demands on valves in terms of corrosion resistance, sealing performance, and long-term reliability.
Fluorine-lined valves refer to valves where the entire metal valve body, valve disc, or valve ball surface is lined with a layer of high-performance fluoroplastic (such as PTFE, PFA, FEP), ensuring that the medium only contacts the fluoropolymer material, thus achieving corrosion protection.
The Core Advantages of Fluorine-Lined Materials
✅ Extreme Chemical Inertness: Resistant to most strong acids, alkalis, and organic solvents.
✅ Corrosion and Aging Resistance: Not easily corroded by media during long-term use.
✅ Smooth Surface: Not prone to scaling or impurity deposition.
✅ Complete Isolation Between Metal and Media: Effectively prevents pitting and crevice corrosion.
Based on these characteristics, fluoropolymer-lined valves possess irreplaceable advantages in corrosive water treatment systems.
1. Raw Water and Pretreatment Systems
In the transportation of high-salt, highly corrosive raw water, fluoropolymer-lined butterfly valves and ball valves can effectively prevent valve body corrosion, ensuring long-term stable system operation.
2. Acid-Base Neutralization and Chemical Dosing Systems
In these operating conditions, the media is highly corrosive and opening and closing is frequent. Fluorine-lined ball valves and fluoropolymer-lined diaphragm valves are widely used due to their excellent sealing and chemical resistance.
3. Industrial Wastewater and Sludge Treatment Systems
For media containing particulate matter and corrosive components, fluoropolymer-lined butterfly valves offer advantages such as compact structure and high economy in large-diameter pipelines.
4. Environmental Protection and Reclaimed Water Systems
In water treatment plants requiring long-term continuous operation, fluoropolymer-lined valves significantly reduce maintenance frequency and operational risks.
Compared to ordinary stainless steel or carbon steel valves, fluoropolymer-lined valves offer the following advantages in corrosive water treatment:
👉 Longer service life, reducing replacement costs
👉 Stable sealing performance, low leakage risk
👉 Can replace expensive alloy valves, offering high cost-effectiveness
👉 Wide range of applicable media, flexible selection
This makes fluoropolymer-lined valves an ideal solution that balances safety and economy.
In actual projects, correct selection is crucial to ensuring the performance of fluoropolymer-lined valves. We recommend focusing on the following:
a. Media composition and concentration (acids, alkalis, salts, solvents)
b. Operating pressure and temperature range
c. Valve type selection (ball valve, butterfly valve, gate valve, diaphragm valve)
d. Fluorine lining material selection (PTFE, PFA, applicable conditions differ)
e. Opening and closing frequency and control method (manual, electric, pneumatic)
In complex operating conditions, we recommend seeking technical support and customized selection solutions from valve manufacturers with engineering experience.
