Installation and operation method of manual butterfly valve

August 8, 2022

The most common driving methods for butterfly valves are manual, pneumatic, hydraulic and electric. This article mainly introduces the manual butterfly valve. Manual butterfly valve can be subdivided into handle butterfly valve and turbine butterfly valve. The two have no major impact on the installation of manual butterfly valves, and the difference lies more in the operation and use.

Installation precautions for manual butterfly valve
1. Before installing the manual butterfly valve, it is necessary to first confirm whether the product is suitable for the working conditions of the medium in the pipeline. The interior of the butterfly valve must be clean, including the sealing ring, valve shaft, and butterfly plate. There must be no foreign matter. Do not close the butterfly plate before cleaning the butterfly valve to prevent damage to the sealing ring.
2. The wafer type manual butterfly valve needs to use the special flange for butterfly valve during installation.
3. It is best to install it vertically on the pipeline, not upside down.
4. When it is necessary to adjust the flow, it is recommended to use a turbine butterfly valve.
5. After installation, every part of the valve should be checked regularly during use, and faults should be eliminated in time.

How to operate a manual butterfly valve
From the above, we know that manual butterfly valves are divided into handle butterfly valves and turbo butterfly valves, and their operation methods will of course be different. The operation of the handle butterfly valve is to pull the handle, turn it counterclockwise to open the valve, and turn it clockwise to close the valve. The turbine butterfly valve is to install a worm gear reducer on the valve stem of the butterfly valve. The turbine device makes the operation of the butterfly valve more labor-saving, copes with a larger medium pressure environment, and also improves the operability of the valve.
If the diameter of the butterfly valve is less than 150mm, it is recommended to use the handle to drive it. If the diameter of the butterfly valve exceeds 150mm, it is recommended to use the turbine device, which is more labor-saving to operate. The maximum diameter of the handle butterfly valve can only be 250mm. If it exceeds this maximum diameter, it is no longer applicable and needs to be equipped with an electric or pneumatic actuator.
In industrial engineering, we recommend the use of turbo butterfly valves, because in addition to saving labor, turbo butterfly valves have better sealing performance than handle butterfly valves. Another point is that in the pipeline with high switching frequency, the service life of the turbine butterfly valve is higher than that of the handle butterfly valve.

How to install wafer butterfly valve and installation tips

March 11, 2022

Title: How to install wafer butterfly valve

In this article, let’s talk about the installation method of the wafer butterfly valve. Wafer type is a connection method of butterfly valve, that is, when installing on the pipeline, it is necessary to clamp the butterfly valve with two pieces of flanges, and then connect it with the flange on the pipeline. Corresponding to it is another connection method of butterfly valve, flange type. The installation of flanged butterfly valve will be shared with you in the future. Today we mainly talk about how to install the wafer butterfly valve in the form of pictures and texts.

The structure of the wafer butterfly valve is relatively short and takes up little space. During installation, use the special flange for the wafer butterfly valve to fix it, and then put the fixed wafer flange into the middle of the flanges at both ends of the pipeline, and use bolts to fix it. The control of the fluid medium in the pipeline can be realized by fixing it through the special flange of the wafer butterfly valve and the pipeline flange (if there is no flange on the pipeline, the special flange for the butterfly valve needs to be welded on the pipeline). The wafer type butterfly valve occupies a small space, which makes it especially suitable for installation and use in situations where the space is narrow or the distance between pipes is relatively small.
The specific installation steps of the wafer butterfly valve are as follows:
1. Place the wafer butterfly valve between the two pre-installed special flanges for wafer butterfly valves, and pay attention to align the flange bolt holes with the round holes of the butterfly valve body.

2. Insert the bolts and nuts into the flange holes to connect the valve body and the flange, and correct the flatness in the method, but be careful not to overtighten the bolts and nuts.

3. Weld the flange on the pipe, this step should be done by spot welding.

4. Remove the wafer butterfly valve first.

5. Weld the two flanges on the pipe completely to complete the fixation.

6. After the weld between the flange and the pipe is cooled, install the wafer butterfly valve. At this time, pay attention to opening the butterfly plate a little.

7. Correct the installation position of the butterfly valve again, and tighten the bolts, but be careful not to over-tighten them.

8. Fully open the butterfly plate of the butterfly valve to ensure that the butterfly plate of the butterfly valve can be opened and closed freely.

9. Cross the bolts again and tighten them evenly;

10. After the above steps are completed, test the opening and closing of the butterfly valve again to ensure that the valve can open and close freely.

The above is the introduction of butterfly valve installation steps. Here, I would like to tell all friends who purchase butterfly valves. Before installing the wafer butterfly valve, pay attention to the handling and do not bump it at will. After installation, non-professionals should not disassemble it casually.

Manual wafer butterfly valve installation skills

1. Storage work before installation: Store the manual wafer butterfly valve in a cool, dry and ventilated environment, and cover the valve to prevent the valve from being contaminated with dust and all debris.
2. Before the wafer butterfly valve is installed on the pipeline, the pipeline needs to be calibrated, and the positions of the pipes at both ends cannot be deviated. Body strain or rupture.
3. Before the valve is installed, the valve and all installed pipelines should be cleaned again to ensure that the inside of the valve and the pipeline is completely clean, and no dust is left.
4. Manual wafer butterfly valve belongs to manual butterfly valve, which requires frequent manual operation. Therefore, there are also requirements for the installation position of the manual butterfly valve. The installation position of the valve must be convenient for personnel to operate and maintain in the future. It has been demonstrated that the best position for manual valve installation is about 1.2 meters from the operating floor. For valves installed outdoors, cover the valve with some covering to prevent bad weather from affecting the valve.
5. When installing on the pipeline, make sure that the butterfly plate is in a closed state, so as to avoid collision and damage between the butterfly plate and the pipeline flange, which will affect the sealing performance.
6. After the manual wafer butterfly valve is installed, if there is an opening and closing failure during use, it is necessary to find out the cause and eliminate the failure. It cannot be forced to open and close by beating, prying or brute force.
The above is the whole content of the “manual wafer butterfly valve installation skills” introduced for you. Here, the editor also reminds everyone that after the valve is installed, it must be regularly maintained during the use of the valve. work, so as to ensure the normal and smooth operation of the valve. If you have purchase requirements for manual wafer butterfly valves, you are welcome to consult the official website of Tanghai Valve.

Is a gasket needed for installation of the resilient seated wafer butterfly valve?

December 17, 2021

Before understanding the problem of adding gaskets to the soft-seal wafer butterfly valve, let’s take a look at the main working conditions of the soft-seal wafer butterfly valve. It can be applied to water supply and drainage, gas pipelines such as food, medicine, chemical industry, petroleum, electric power, textile papermaking, etc. It is used for regulating flow and intercepting medium. And has certain standards, as follows:

Wafer type butterfly valve with worm gear

Standards for soft-seal wafer butterfly valves:
Gauge manufacturing specification: GB/T 12238-2008
Construction length specification: GB/T 12221-2005
Connection flange specification: GB/T 9113
Pressure temperature rating: GB/T 12224-2005
Experimental inspection specification: GB/T 13927-2008
The soft-seal wafer butterfly valve is characterized by sensitive operation, labor-saving, and good sealing performance. So the reason for choosing the soft-seal wafer butterfly valve to a large extent is because of its good sealing performance. Then, in actual field application, we encountered a problem: Can the connecting surfaces on both sides of the soft-seal wafer butterfly valve function as a flange gasket? When installing the butterfly valve, is it necessary to add gaskets for sealing? With such a question, let’s first look at a live case.
A new batch of soft-seal wafer butterfly valves from a factory are used for acidic liquid pipelines. The soft-seal of the product is made very thick, and some of the soft-seal material is exposed to form a convex surface. May I ask if this kind of butterfly valve is installed? Also add gaskets for sealing? Through practice, we have seen that this situation can be added or not, but it is added for more insurance. Generally, new soft-sealed butterfly valves can be sealed without gaskets. If it is an old valve, it is necessary to consider the problem of aging. Soft-seal butterfly valves generally come with a gasket, which can not be installed, but it depends on the application of the soft-seal wafer butterfly valve. For example, in this case, if it is used in high temperature or corrosive liquid pipelines, in order to avoid personal injury, it is recommended to add high-pressure PTFE gaskets during flange connection, so that it can be safer and can be done once and for all. The purpose of adding gaskets is to protect the rubber-lined flange surface, because the replacement valve ring is more expensive than the replacement valve gasket. If the gasket is not added under bad working conditions, even if the flange does not leak, it is very likely that the valve will leak internally.
So in summary, whether the soft seal wafer butterfly valve needs to be gasketed depends on the chemical nature, temperature and pressure of the pipeline medium. Generally speaking, although the connecting surfaces on both sides of the soft seal wafer butterfly valve can play the role of flange gasket, it is recommended to add a gasket on both sides for safety. Because the butterfly valve will bump and bump a little during transportation and handling, it will produce an incomplete sealing surface, so it is recommended to add an extra gasket. Of course, there are other points of view that there is no need to add shims, and it is superfluous. Therefore, we can refer to a standard and then make a choice according to our specific working conditions, which can be based on the valve diameter, etc.: soft-seal wafer butterfly valves under 6 kg may not be added; 6-16 kg butterfly valves are recommended to add gaskets. Spacers below DN300 are 1.5mm; spacers above DN300 and below 1200 are 3.0mm. For more butterfly valve information, please contact Tanghai Valve’s online customer service.

Precautions for installation of pinless wafer butterfly valve

December 14, 2021

The pinless wafer butterfly valve contains two connection methods, one is pinless and the other is wafer. A pinless butterfly valve is a pinless butterfly valve that does not use a pin to penetrate the connection between the valve plate and the valve stem. For comparison of pin butterfly valves and pinless butterfly valves, please refer to valve knowledge. The wafer butterfly valve is connected between two pipe flanges with stud bolts, without flanges.

JIS 10K-wafer butterfly valve-backup seat (4)

Commonly used pinless butterfly valves include wafer type butterfly valves and flange type butterfly valves, so flange type butterfly valves are often compared with wafer type butterfly valves. The biggest difference between the two is the connection method during installation. Now let’s take a look at what to pay attention to when installing the pinless wafer butterfly valve.
1. During installation, the valve disc should be stopped in the closed position.
2. The opening position should be determined according to the rotation angle of the butterfly plate.
3. For the butterfly valve with bypass valve, the bypass valve should be opened before opening.
4. The installation should be carried out according to the installation instructions of the manufacturer, and the heavy-weight butterfly valve should be installed with a firm foundation.
5. The butterfly plate of the pinless wafer butterfly valve is installed in the diameter direction of the pipeline. In the cylindrical passage of the butterfly valve body, the disc-shaped butterfly plate rotates around the axis, and the rotation angle is between 0-90°. When the rotation reaches 90°, the valve is fully open.
6. If the butterfly valve is required to be used as a flow control, the main thing is to select the size and type of the valve correctly. The structure principle of the butterfly valve is especially suitable for making large-diameter valves. Butterfly valves are not only widely used in general industries such as petroleum, gas, chemical, and water treatment, but also used in cooling water systems of thermal power stations.
The price of the pinless wafer butterfly valve is roughly 2/3 of that of the pinless flange butterfly valve, which is relatively cheap, but the sealing performance is not as good as that of the flange butterfly valve. When choosing imported valves, use wafer butterfly valves as much as possible because they are cheap and light in weight. One of its limitations is that there are no flanges at both ends of the valve body, and there are only a few guide bolt holes. The valve is connected to the end flange with a set of bolts/nuts. Compared with the flanged butterfly valve, it is much more convenient to disassemble, and the valve cost is lower, but the disadvantage is that one sealing surface has a problem, and both sealing surfaces have to be disassembled. The paired flanges of the clip-on type are butt welded and cannot be installed by socket welding.
The pinless wafer butterfly valve also has its own advantages, that is, it saves space, and try to use wafer butterfly valves when the piping position is tight. The biggest difference between the pinless wafer butterfly valve and the flangeless butterfly valve is that the wafer butterfly valve saves a pair of flanges, so the cost is relatively cheap, but it is not conducive to the disassembly and assembly of maintenance, etc., where permitted, priority Choose a wafer butterfly valve. Wafer butterfly valves are generally used in industrial pipelines with relatively low pressure and relatively safe transport media.

Installation and Maintenance of Butterfly Valve

August 13, 2021

The butterfly valve has become one of the most widely used valves. Although it is only a small part on the fluid pipeline, it has a very large effect. The installation and maintenance of butterfly valves is a science. The correct installation of butterfly valves is the first step to ensure the normal operation of the pipeline, and subsequent maintenance has a positive effect on prolonging the service life of butterfly valves and reducing production costs. This article will talk about the installation and maintenance of butterfly valves for you.

The working principle of butterfly valve
The working principle of the butterfly valve is that the valve stem drives the rotation of the butterfly plate to complete the opening and closing, and the rotation angle is 90°; changing the deflection angle of the butterfly plate can control the flow of the medium. Common butterfly valves include wafer butterfly valves and flange butterfly valves. Wafer type butterfly valve uses double-head bolts to connect the valve between two pipeline flanges. Flange type butterfly valve has flanges on the valve, and bolts are used to connect the flanges at both ends of the valve to the pipeline flanges. Butterfly valve allows fluid speed: liquid ≤ 4.5 m/s, gas ≤ 20 m/s.

Installation direction and position of butterfly valve

ductile iron, DI, butterfly valve, manufacturer, center line, TH valve

Butterfly valves generally have no direction requirements. If required, it should be determined according to the rotation angle of the butterfly valve and the working principle of the pneumatic actuator. The best position of the valve installed on the horizontal pipeline is vertical installation, and vertical downward is not allowed. The valve installation position must be easy to operate; timely installation is temporarily difficult, and the operator must also consider the long-term work of the operator. It is best to keep the valve hand wheel flush with the chest, generally 1.2 meters away from the operating floor, so that it is easier to open and close the valve. The handwheel of the floor valve should be upward, not tilted. For valves that lean against the wall against the equipment, leave room for the operator to stand on. It is necessary to avoid operating from the sky, especially acid-base, toxic media, etc., otherwise it is very unsafe.

Maintenance work of butterfly valve
When maintaining the butterfly valve, pay attention to whether there is water in the pneumatic actuator mechanism. In the wet season, the accumulation of water in the air compressor tank makes the transmission mechanism or the transmission shaft sleeve rust, and the accumulation of water in the air compressor tank in the cold winter weather enters the pneumatic actuator mechanism and freezes, causing aerodynamics. When the actuator is operated, the torque is too large, which damages the transmission components and cannot be operated manually; if the actuator is operated forcibly, the internal parts of the actuator will also be damaged. During maintenance, the discharge valve in the air compressor tank should be opened from time to time and the internal water should be taken out. For butterfly valves with hand wheels, open the turbine box cover to check whether the lubricating oil is normal within 6 months of operation, and keep a proper amount of lubricating oil.

Ventilation butterfly valve installation instructions

July 5, 2021

Ventilation butterfly valve installation | instructions for use
Instructions for use of the ventilation butterfly valve:
The structural design of the ventilation butterfly valve should be combined with the operating conditions of the valve.

ventilation butterfly valve (2)

1. Under the smelting conditions with high temperature and high dust content, the design of the ventilation butterfly valve can adopt a flat inclined plate structure. There is a gap between the butterfly plate and the valve body of this structure. The gap value is based on the valve diameter and workmanship. The operating conditions are determined, and generally controlled within 0.5% of the channel area, which can meet the requirements of the ventilation butterfly valve installation, temperature changes in working conditions, and melting process requirements. To
2. Under the condition of high temperature and low dust content, the design of the ventilation butterfly valve can adopt the vertical plate structure. The sealing surface of the structure is easy to process, and the gap value of the sealing surface is controlled within 0.2% of the channel area. The dimensional accuracy of the valve body and butterfly plate sealing pair can meet the design requirements through mechanical processing.
3. For working conditions with high temperature, low pressure and strict sealing requirements, the design of the ventilation butterfly valve adopts a lever-type plane structure. The sealing pair preparation and butterfly plate running track can meet the technological requirements of high sealing performance pipe network equipment.
The main body seal of the ventilation butterfly valve selects different structures according to different working conditions, which is conducive to the production and use of the valve. The shaft end structure design of the ventilating butterfly valve adopts an external support structure with excellent heat insulation and sealing effects, which can realize the function of sealing the second shaft end of the valve and then supporting it, which is convenient for adjustment, and will not cause shaft end jam. When the direct connection or the crank connecting rod mechanism is connected with the transmission mechanism, the installation of the heat insulation sleeve can effectively keep away the influence of the high temperature environment on the transmission device and ensure the normal operation of the valve. The valve body and butterfly plate of the large-diameter ventilating butterfly valve should be cast or welded according to the requirements of the working conditions, and ribs should be configured, and reasonable process plans and materials should be selected to improve the rigidity of the product and prevent product deformation.
Precautions for installation of ventilation butterfly valve:
The installation position of the ventilation butterfly valve in the pipe network and the pipe network layout also affect the use of the valve. The closed funnel is designed at the opening end of the valve or the corner of the valve connection for the pipe with large smoke and dust. Regular dust removal can prevent excessive dust accumulation, which is beneficial The rotation of the butterfly board. There are several issues that should be paid attention to when installing the ventilation butterfly valve.
1. The use of metal gaskets must ensure that the load is uniform, and avoid the additional pressure of the valve due to the influence of temperature and self-weight or the stress caused by welding, and the deformation of the valve flange and pipeline.
2. When the valve is installed in a place with a long pipeline, a support frame should be installed.
3. The valve installation should pay attention to the medium flow direction, so that the opening direction of the butterfly plate is consistent with the pipeline medium flow direction, which is beneficial to the self-cleaning effect of the medium flow rate.
4. Strengthen the protection of the overall insulation layer of the pipe network so that the pipe wall temperature is above the dew point, which can reduce the low-temperature cohesive dust accumulation. If the pipe wall temperature is higher than the acid dew point of the flue gas, the condensation of acid vapor on the heated pipe wall can be avoided, and the generation rate of sulfur trioxide can be controlled, and the valve will be more effective. To
The installation position of the ventilation butterfly valve varies according to the design of the pipeline, such as horizontal, vertical and angled. Generally, vertical pipe installation of the ventilation butterfly valve has a better effect and is not easy to accumulate dust, followed by horizontal pipes, and has the worst effect at angles. The turning points on both sides of the valve inlet and outlet are most likely to form drift and ash blockage, and the valve operating torque will increase.

Gate valve characteristics and installation notes

August 13, 2020

Gate valve characteristics:
Light weight
The body is made of high-grade nodular cast iron, the weight is about 20%~30% less than the weight of traditional

13 gate-valve-5

gate valve, and the installation and maintenance are convenient.

Flat bottom brake seat:
Traditional gate valves often silt in the grooves at the bottom of the valve due to foreign objects such as stones, wood, cement, iron filings, sundries, etc., after the pipe is washed with water, which can easily cause water leakage. The bottom of the gate valve is sealed by elastic seating. It adopts the same flat-bottom design as the water pipe machine, which is not easy to cause debris accumulation and makes the fluid flow unimpeded.

Overall encapsulation:
The gate adopts high-quality rubber for the overall inner and outer rubber. European rubber vulcanization technology enables the vulcanized gate to ensure accurate geometric dimensions, and the rubber and ductile cast gate are firmly connected, not easy to fall off and have good elastic memory.

Precision casting valve body:
The valve body is made of precision casting, and the precise geometric dimensions make the inside of the valve body without any finishing to ensure the sealing of the valve.

Installation Precautions of gate valve:
1. Handwheels, handles and transmission mechanisms are not allowed to be used for lifting, and collisions are strictly prohibited.

2. The double gate valve should be installed vertically (that is, the valve stem is in the vertical position and the handwheel is on the top).

3. The gate valve with a bypass valve should be opened before opening (to balance the pressure difference between the inlet and outlet and reduce the opening force).

4. The gate valve with transmission mechanism should be installed according to the product manual.

5. If the valve is frequently opened and closed, lubricate at least once a month.

6. The gate valve is only used for the operation of the medium on various pipelines or equipment, which is fully open and fully closed, and is not allowed to be used for throttling.

7. For gate valves with hand wheels or handles, no auxiliary levers should be added during operation (if the sealing is not tight, the sealing surface or other parts should be checked and repaired). Turn the handwheel and handle clockwise to close, otherwise open. The gate valve with transmission mechanism should be used in accordance with the product manual.

Installation points of gate valve:

1) The installation position, height, and direction of inlet and outlet must meet the design requirements, and the connection should be firm and tight.

2) All kinds of manual valves installed on the thermal insulation pipeline must not handle downwards.

3) Visual inspection must be carried out before the valve is installed. The nameplate of the valve should comply with the current national standard “General Valve Marking” GB 12220. For valves with a working pressure greater than 1.0 MPa and a cut-off function on the main pipe, the strength and tightness performance test should be carried out before installation, and the valve can be used only after it is qualified. During the strength test, the test pressure is 1.5 times the nominal pressure, and the duration is not less than 5 min. The valve housing and packing should be qualified without leakage. During the tightness test, the test pressure is 1.1 times the nominal pressure; the test pressure should meet the requirements of the GB 50243 standard during the test duration, and no leakage on the valve flap sealing surface is qualified.

4) The hand wheel, handle and transmission mechanism are not allowed to be used for lifting, and collision is strictly prohibited.

5) The gate valve with transmission mechanism should be installed according to the product manual.

2. When the vertical check valve is used for vertical installation, no spring is required, and the weight of the valve flap and the pressure of the fluid return flow are used for check.

Installation instructions of the wafer type butterfly valve

July 21, 2020

Preparation before installation of wafer type butterfly valve:
1. Check whether the specifications and materials of the butterfly valve conform to the design before installation.

wafer type butterfly valve, EPDM seat (10)

2. Before installation, clean the internal sand, dust, foreign matter and debris to avoid irregular movement or leakage.
3. The related piping should be properly suspended and fixed according to regulations before installation to avoid improper stress on the valve after installation.
4. The two flange faces of the piping must be aligned parallel and concentric.
5. No additional gasket is needed between butterfly valve and flange during installation.
6. Where the butterfly valve is close to the check valve or the pump, use a divergent joint between the two so that the valve disc will not be hindered from turning off.

Installation steps of wafer type butterfly valve:
1. Open the valve disc 10 degrees before installation. (The same before disassembly)
2. Set auxiliary screws at appropriate positions to adjust the distance between the two flange surfaces.
3. Insert the butterfly valve without touching the two flange surfaces and at the same time penetrate the remaining bolts.
4. After confirming that the center of the butterfly valve is concentric with the center of the flange and the switch position of the valve disc is not the inner diameter of the flange or the adjacent parts are obstructed, the bolts are locked repeatedly in a diagonal and gradual manner until the flange surface touches the end surface of the valve body.
5. After the installation is completed, the degree of full open and full close should be confirmed again.

Operation:
1. Before starting the operation, use air spray to remove foreign objects on the piping, and clean the inner surface of the piping with clean water.
2. Open the valve to check the angle indicator plate, avoid torsion exceeding the opening width, and the closing position cannot be exceeded.
3. The operation of the switch is completely based on the indicator. If other hand tools are applied, the angle indicating plate and the switch will be damaged.
4. When the pressure test of piping is to be done, the valve should be opened.
5. After piping, the valve is in a fully closed state for a long time, and it should be switched on and off once or twice a month to avoid fixation.

July 17, 2020

Product selection points of butterfly valves:
1. The main control parameter of the butterfly valve is the size.
2. The butterfly valve is a single-plate air valve. It has a simple structure, convenient processing, low cost, and easy operation, but the adjustment accuracy is poor. It

is only suitable for the occasion of switching or rough adjustment in the ventilation and air conditioning system.
3. It can be operated manually, electrically or by zipper, and can be fixed at any angle in the range of 90°.
4. Due to the single shaft and single valve plate, the bearing capacity is limited, and the service life of the valve is short under the condition of large pressure difference and large flow rate. The valve is divided into closed type and ordinary type, thermal insulation and non-thermal insulation.
5. The electric butterfly valve has only two-position control, and the electric actuator is the same as the multi-leaf valve.

Installation matters of butterfly valve:
The butterfly valve has a simple structure, small volume, light weight, and relatively few components. The key parts can form a butterfly valve. It is also very convenient to open. You only need to select the switch to ninety degrees. The butterfly valve The fluid control is very good, you can increase or decrease the flow at any time, the valve has a certain resistance when transporting any fluid, and the resistance of the butterfly valve mainly comes from its own, such as the thickness of the butterfly valve body, if you want to reduce the fluid The resistance only needs to reduce its thickness.
Elastic seals have the disadvantage of being limited by temperature.
Butterfly valves are also widely used. If they are used to control the flow rate, different types and sizes of valve bodies need to be selected, because butterfly valves are more suitable for valves with larger diameters when they are designed. Butterfly valves are not only widely used in general industries such as petroleum, gas, chemical, and water treatment, but also in cooling water systems of thermal power stations.
