Boost Efficiency and Reduce Operational Costs in Your Wastewater Treatment Plant with the VACOMASS® Jet Control Valve from Binder Group AG.
Boost Efficiency and Reduce Operational Costs in Your Wastewater Treatment Plant with the VACOMASS® Jet Control Valve from Binder Group AG.
When looking to optimize your aeration systems, the VACOMASS® Binder Jet Control Valve is an absolute game-changer for wastewater treatment plants.
Common practice in AU/NZ is installing butterfly valves. While these do have their places, they also come with a very unstable curve with regards to aeration control.
As a result, this unfortunately leads to very unstable DO values along with high pressure losses.
The answer? Jet Control Valves, from Binder Group AG.
These are specifically designed for precise control of aeration, offering:
✅ Accurate air control from 80 – 13,500Nm³/h
✅ Linear control curve (0-95% stroke) for improved DO control
✅ Significantly lower DO set points, saving energy
✅ Low pressure loss compared to traditional butterfly valves, improving efficiency and reducing costs.
Jet Control Valves deliver vast energy savings and have been proven to provide rapid payback, making them the ideal solution for wastewater plants.
Pump & Valve Specialties Ltd are the sole agents of VACOMASS®, available in both Australia & New Zealand.

VACOMASS Binder Jet Control Valves
Description
VACOMASS® Jet Control Valves by Binder – Engineered Precision for Aeration Control
Pump & Valve is proud to represent Binder in both Australia and New Zealand, offering their world-class VACOMASS® Jet Control Valves – designed specifically for AI-based aeration control systems in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs).
Available in sizes from 250–400mm, these valves provide precise, linear air control from 80 – 13,500 Nm³/h (95 – 9,700 SCFM) and operate with a stable control curve across 0–95% of stroke. This ensures optimal dissolved oxygen (DO) control, typically allowing for a lower DO set point, which significantly reduces energy consumption, operating expenses (OPEX), and carbon emissions.
Unlike traditional butterfly valves commonly used across New Zealand and Australia, which suffer from unstable control curves and high pressure losses (50–80 mbar), the VACOMASS® Jet Control Valve delivers low pressure loss, stable DO values, and faster payback periods – even without factoring in the additional savings from lowered DO set points.
Whether you’re designing a new plant or upgrading existing infrastructure, VACOMASS Jet Control Valves by Binder are the proven solution for:
More efficient aeration
Reduced energy and operational costs
Enhanced process stability
Improved DO set point accuracy
Lower emissions in biological treatment processes

- Linear control curve which gives extremely precise control over the air flow leading to vastly improved control of the DO levels
- Extremely low pressure drop. 10mbar is the maximum loss (which is also the maximum flow of the valve) however they typically run at 3 – 5mbar loss.
- 14,400 actuator turns (about 5 minutes) are required to move the valve from fully open to fully closed. This slow acting mechanism stops the DO from getting ‘nervous’ and jumping about
- Very low turbulence – in fact these valves act more like a flow conditioner. Dropper lines can be placed 0.5D after the valve eliminating what can be complex and expensive straight lengths to enable turbulence from other control valves.
- Easy onsite tuning. Control valves with linear curves are very easy to write algorithms for! Whereas writing an algorithm for a control valve with a non-linear curve can take a long time and still have a less than desirable result.
- Binder have their calibration and testing facility for air. This is a key point of difference as almost every other valve on the market has been designed and tested for liquid which acts quite differently to gas.
