Ring valves for industrial compressor systems
Optimize the efficiency and reliability of your gas compression processes with advanced ring valves designed for versatile applications, ensuring uniform wear and enhancing flow dynamics to withstand challenging environments.

Enhances Gas Compression Efficiency
The BORSIG ZM ring valves are engineered to optimize gas compression across diverse applications, such as hydrogen, ethylene, and monomer gases. Featuring high-performance non-metallic valve rings in flat or convex forms, these valves promote uniform wear and a self-cleaning effect, essential for handling emissions and process gases in industries like oil and gas and petrochemicals. Their streamlined design enhances flow dynamics, offering superior performance in contaminated environments. The convex form increases effectiveness by improving aerodynamic characteristics under compression. These valves integrate seamlessly with reciprocating compressors for end-products like ammonia, urea, and polyethylene. They are suitable for high-performance and continuous operations, enhancing efficiency through easy retrofitting and machining on conventional lathes. Customization options and robust engineering support ensure these valves meet your specific plant requirements, providing durability and reliability in continuous use.
