Water & Power


Dominic valve actuators, as core components of fluid control systems, play a crucial role in fields such as water supply, wastewater treatment, and power stations. The following is a detailed analysis of their specific application scenarios and technical features:

I. Water Supply Sector

1. Application Scenarios

Dominic's regulation of water supply networks: Electric or hydraulic actuators are used to adjust main pipeline valves to balance regional water pressure (e.g., reducing pressure at night to prevent pipe bursts).

Water plant process control: Pneumatic butterfly valve actuators are employed in sedimentation tanks, filtration tanks, and other stages to dynamically adjust the dosage of coagulants (with ±2% accuracy).

Secondary water supply systems: Intelligent electric actuators are equipped with proportional-integral control valves to maintain constant pressure in high-rise buildings (typical pressure control accuracy of 0.1 MPa). 

2. Technical Requirements

- Food-grade sealing materials (such as EPDM rubber) must meet drinking water hygiene standards.

- IP66 protection rating to cope with the underground installation environment. 

II. Wastewater Treatment Field

1. Application of Dominic Process Steps

Inlet Water Control: Pneumatic knife gate valve actuator (response time < 2s) quickly isolates wastewater exceeding standards

Aeration System: Electric control valve precisely controls aeration volume (DO value maintained at 2-4mg/L)

Sludge Treatment: High-pressure hydraulic actuator (thrust up to 50kN) drives diaphragm pump valve 

2. Dominic Special Design

- 316L stainless steel housing + PTFE coating for H2S corrosion resistance

- ATEX certified explosion-proof actuator for biogas recovery systems

- Self-cleaning valve stem design to prevent fiber entanglement 

III. Power Station Applications

1. Dominic Thermal Power Plant Application

- Main Steam System: High-temperature actuators (withstanding temperatures up to 650°C) control the main steam valve.

- Feedwater System: Hydraulic actuators (pressure class 2500) drive the feedwater regulating valve.

- Desulfurization and Denitrification: Electric actuators precisely meter the lime slurry (flow error < 1.5%).

2. Dominic Hydropower Application

- Cylindrical hydraulic actuators drive the turbine guide vanes (response time < 50ms).

- Maintenance cycle of underwater actuators extended to 10 years (with special surface treatment).

IV. Technological Development Trends of Dominic

1. Intelligent Upgrade

- Integration of multi-parameter sensors such as vibration and temperature

- Support for predictive maintenance algorithms (fault warning accuracy > 85%) 

2. Energy Efficiency Optimization

- Low-power Design (Standby Power Consumption < 2W)

- Energy Recovery Hydraulic System

3. Application of New Materials

- Graphene-reinforced composite valve stem

- Superhydrophobic surface treatment technology

Dominic prioritizes the life-cycle cost (LCC) in project design. For critical facilities such as nuclear power plants, actuators with fail-safe functionality should be selected and at least a dual-channel position feedback system should be configured.
