Prospective applications abound anywhere valves are used

Oil and Gas, Chemical

  • Cut maintenance costs -- leak detection and repair
  • Recover billions of dollars in lost products from fugitive emissions
  • Increase life cycle; reduce replacement costs
  • Reduce environmental litigation
  • Improve personnel safety
  • Improve air quality for surrounding communities
  • Opportunities for EPA offsets

Municipal Steam and Wastewater

  • Upgrade aging infrastructure
  • Prevent loss of potable water
  • Reduce personnel hazards from steam valve failures
  • Eliminate methane emissions
  • Provide anti-tamper security
  • Reduce municipal maintenance and valve replacement budgets

Defense

  • Valves are an essential part of both combat and support operations
  • Across warfighting domains, the military has the same needs as Industry and Municipalities to reduce maintenance costs and conserve resources by preventing valve leaks and fugitive emissions at base facilities and operating theaters worldwide
  • The Zero Leak valve technology's removable external actuator also supports anti-tamper security for fuel and water resources in hostile environments

Other

  • Lethal Service / Improve safety:  Sour Gas H2S, etc.
  • Semiconductor Process Valves:  Few ppm leaks of some gasses fatal
  • Nuclear:  Replace bellows valves for better prevention of radioactive leaks
  • Medical Applications:  Can be run through an Autoclave for sterilization
  • Cryogenic Valves:  Also benefit from autoclave cleaning
  • Rotary Couplings for Pumps and Compressors:  No shaft seals, higher temperatures & better material compatibility than previous couplings
  • Rocket/Missile Fueling:  Extreme temperatures fueling and refueling

FAQ

Does Maui Innovation Group make and sell (or intend to make and sell) valves?

No, we want to license our technology to established valve manufacturers in the hopes of getting our technology integrated into the widest possible variety of types and applications of valves that each distinct manufacturer specializes in.  We don't even pretend to know every industry that our valve could be used in, but we do know that leak-proof valves can benefit almost every industry, and make the world better, safer, and more efficient.  We want to make our technology broadly available to valve manufacturers that specialize in each industry.  

What are the available torque ranges on this type of seal-less valve technology?

Torque can be delivered to a given valve  actuation mechanism up to whatever level is needed (as specified a priori) to meet that particular application – There is no absolute limitation on design torque in and of itself (however a magnetic coupling is essentially always going to be a bit larger than a straight mechanical shaft and seal – for moderate torque manual applications, we  try to stay within the size envelope encompassed by the handle – though that may not always be possible for very high torque applications).

What types of valves is this technology applicable to?

This technology is predominately applicable to macro scale rotary and linearly actuated valves such as gate valves, globe valves, ball valves, butterfly valves, and similar technologies.  It is applicable to both manual and automated or powered actuation of valves, and is applicable across a broad range of valve sizes from fractions of an inch (or centimeter) to large oil and gas pipeline valves.  It is applicable to threaded, brazed, soldered, and welded connections across a wide range of temperatures and operating environments.
