Low-Point Drain Valve Management

Designing for turnover, drainage, and cleanability

Poor drainage and unmanaged low points are a common source of residual hold-up, cleaning challenges, and long-term performance issues.

Alphinity addresses drainage and low-point management through thoughtful hardware selection and layout, ensuring systems empty effectively and behave consistently during operation and maintenance.

Aquasyn contributes proven stainless steel drain and tank-bottom solutions, engineered with geometry and flow behaviour in mind.

This solution addresses:

  • Residual hold-up at vessel bottoms and low points

  • Incomplete drainage during operation or cleaning

  • Complex piping added to compensate for poor layout

  • Maintenance challenges driven by trapped fluid
