BPR | Back Pressure Valves for Walchem Pumps

Anti-Syphon/Back Pressure Valves

Walchem Back Pressure / Anti-Siphon valves provide stability and safety to your metering pump installations. All metering pump require back pressure to operate correctly and often installations do not provide enough back pressure to stabilize the pump flow – and some have even pressures lower than atmospheric, creating a siphoning situation. Back pressure / anti-siphon valves can provide the required back pressure to the pumps when it is not created by the application. They also will assist in stopping a siphon condition. Additionally, when they are used in a bypass, they act as a pressure relief valve, providing for over-pressurization protection to the pump and discharge piping assembly, critical for mechanically actuated metering pumps.

Benefits:

• Rugged valves are constructed from PVC, PP, PVDF, or Stainless Steel components to ensure long life and reliability.
• Spring-loaded PTFE faced diaphragms provide positive discharge pressure to stabilize pump output and prevent syphoning.
• All valves are screw adjustable from 0 to 150 psi standard.
• Ideal for LK and EHE metering pumps, but can be used with any metering pump requiring back pressure adjustment or anti-syphon protection.
