Industrial environments across the energy and chemical sectors are becoming increasingly complex. Whether handling aggressive chemicals or dealing with fluctuating pressures in oil and gas operations, engineers face the ongoing challenge of selecting valves that can meet demanding process conditions while maintaining long-term reliability.
KDV Flow, with its engineering expertise and global reach, delivers diaphragm valve solutions designed to withstand corrosive fluids, high temperatures, and abrasive materials—without compromising on safety or precision.
Engineered for Harsh Process Conditions
Diaphragm valves are often preferred in energy and chemical processing due to their straightforward design and robust sealing characteristics. KDV’s weir- and straight-through-type diaphragm valves are particularly suited to systems requiring tight shut-off, consistent throttling, and compatibility with challenging media.
Lined variants, such as PTFE, ETFE, and butyl, provide chemical resistance while extending the service life of valves exposed to aggressive fluids. These linings act as a barrier between the media and the metallic valve body, preventing corrosion and cross-contamination.
Precision in Chemical Dosing
Accurate flow regulation is critical in chemical dosing applications. KDV’s lined diaphragm valves offer smooth, turbulence-free flow paths that ensure high dosing precision. The ETFE-lined range, for instance, is widely used in water treatment, pharmaceutical, and chemical plants for dosing acids, caustics, and other aggressive fluids.
These valves also feature compact, modular bodies compatible with pneumatic or electric actuators. This compatibility enables seamless integration into automated dosing systems, enhancing safety and reducing manual intervention.
Safety Under Pressure
In oil and gas installations, safety is paramount. Diaphragm valves must not only handle corrosive or abrasive media but also operate reliably under high pressure and temperature. KDV’s stainless steel and lined diaphragm valves are engineered to perform in hazardous environments where valve failure could lead to downtime or environmental risks.
Available in multiple body materials and pressure classes, these valves are well suited to upstream production, refining, and utility applications within the energy sector.
Global Supply and Support
With manufacturing hubs and stocking facilities in Australia, the UK, Thailand, and North America, KDV provides fast, reliable access to its diaphragm valve portfolio. Engineers and plant managers benefit from consistent product quality and technical support, regardless of their project location.
KDV’s valve solutions are available with DIN, ANSI, and JIS flange configurations, allowing flexibility across international systems. This global compatibility, combined with fast lead times, ensures projects stay on schedule and systems remain online.
Designed with Maintenance in Mind
Downtime in chemical and energy plants is costly. KDV valves are designed for long service intervals, and when maintenance is required, diaphragm replacement is fast and straightforward. The modular actuator system also supports easy upgrades or changes in control strategy.
The use of long-life diaphragms, chemical-resistant linings, and precise machining ensures that KDV diaphragm valves perform reliably with minimal intervention.
Supporting Flow Control in Critical Applications
From corrosive dosing lines to high-pressure process systems, KDV Flow’s diaphragm valves are trusted in installations where performance, precision, and safety cannot be compromised.
Whether installed in a water treatment facility or a gas compression station, KDV valves deliver consistent flow control for critical operations.
