The new regulatory framework of the Low Emission Graphite Packings for Industrial Valves
The fighting for reducing the fugitive emissions is still worldwide a priority objective both for the Valve Manufacturers and for their Clients.
The fighting for reducing the fugitive emissions is still worldwide a priority objective both for the Valve Manufacturers and for their Clients.
The complete labour content to manufacture a ¾ 800 class gate valve is 2.5 minutes. Robotics & automation introduced at manufacturers in the ’80s cut labour time from 45’ to 2.5’.
A systematic approach for pre-validation of polymer spring-energised seals for critical valve applications
Freedom of design Small complex geometries Prototyping …
PAEK polymers are normally associated with high temperature and chemically aggressive applications
The two best known polymers for cryogenic sealing are Modified Polytetrafluoroethylene (MPTFE), and Polychlorotrifluoroethene (PCTFE or PTFCE)
Two Position – Open or Closed
Must be Automated to Ensure Automatic Response to Emergency Event
Located to Ensure Plant Safety during Potentially Hazardous Events
Inactive for Majority of Operational Life to Maximise Process ‘Up’ Time
Must ‘Fail Safe’ on Demand
Integral Part of ‘Safety Instrumented System’ (SIS) – Final Element
Whilst most organisations have already started their journey towards lower emissions, we believe it is possible – and now is the time – to accelerate market-wide progress, to achieve maximum possible emissions reductions in the fastest possible timescale.
Describing the multi-layered visions and opportunities that the IIoT promises – what are these today and how could they change moving forward? Have we clearly and correctly identified the connection between the developing technologies and the true value they can deliver?
Emission into the atmosphere, caused by the aging and wear of valve components and also bad maintenance management
