New Eco-Valve Technology Created at Salford University Could Replace Traditional Aerosol Sprays



A team of researchers at the University of Salford has developed a new technology that will likely alter the very foundations of the global aerosol industry. The technology has received a further boost with some of the biggest names in the industry showing an interest in carrying out commercial trials of the new technology, which is being called ‘Eco-Valve’.

This innovative technology has been developed at the University of Salford by the Spray Research Group. For a decade now, the team has been working on purging propellants VOCs and LPG propellants that are typically used in consumer aerosol sprays. The detrimental effects of such chemicals have forced environmental agencies and governments alike to find more environmentally-friendly alternatives. Though a number of such alternatives have been proposed to date, they have failed to provide a sustainable solution that performs as well as conventionally-used aerosol sprays.
The team of researchers at the Salford University has addressed this problem with the use of an eco-friendly air- or nitrogen-based propellant that is delivered via the Eco-Valve system. The new technology has been patented by Salvalco, a British company that was formed recently. 

An array of tests has been carried out on the Eco-Valve, and it has now been established that it performs just as consistently as conventional products that use aerosol. Parameters that were considered for this test were: How fine the particle size was, the quality of the spray, and the volume-per-spray so as to determine how soon the contents of the can are exhausted.

Besides the like-for-like performance of Eco-Valve, tests have also shown that it is compatible with widely-used filling equipment. This aspect is especially important because it would help the industry make a seamless switchover.

Dimethyl ether (DME) is a downstream derivative of methanol and is used in a number of applications such as LPG blending, aerosol propellants, transportation fuel, industrial, and others. LPG blending is the largest application of DME on the global scale. However, the DME market is highly region-oriented, with China alone accounting for over 80% of the global market. Domination of China in terms of production and demand is ascribed to the high demand for LPG –DME blended domestic cooking fuel in the country. China has the largest coal reserves in the world. The country also accounts for the highest coal output every year. Furthermore, China has high coal-based methanol manufacturing capacity in the country. Manufacture of DME from its existing methanol capacity results in lower LPG import burden on China. However, the recent government regulations have banned blending of DME and LPG for domestic use. The country had rapidly expanded DME manufacturing capacities in anticipation of high growth from the LPG blending application. Strict government regulations adversely affected the DME market in China, thereby hampering market growth. Illicit blending of DME in LPG exists in the country. The DME market is experiencing a slowdown of late. It is anticipated to pick up pace after the announcement of clear government directives pertaining to DME-LPG blends.

 
Fossil fuel based DME is the largest segment in terms of raw materials in the world. Its dominance can be ascribed to China’s dominance in the market. Demand for bio based DME is higher in developed regions such as North America, Europe, Japan and South Korea due to its lower carbon footprint. Aerosol propellants is the major application segment in North America and Europe. Akin to global trends, transportation fuel is the fastest growing application in these regions.
