Facing hundreds of millions of dollars in production losses annually, a major global oil company placed a multimillion dollar order with ValvTechnologies for molecular sieve switching valves to replace their existing rising stem ball valves.
ValvTechnologies and Portersville PRD are the trusted advisors and preferred suppliers of the industry-leading high-performance, zero-leakage isolation valves in critical applications for the engineering firm completing the design: the firm knew they could count on the superior expertise and global experience of ValvTechnologies and Portersville PRD.
A power generation facility was using various valve types for isolation of high-pressure and/or high-temperature steam and water in their heat recovery steam generator and steam turbine systems, but persistent issues with these Y-Type globe, angle, butterfly, and gate valves were causing major efficiency losses that plagued the plant.
A world-renowned OEM was experiencing difficulties brought on by 70 leaking globe valves in high-temperature, high-temperature severe service applications. ValvTechnologies addressed and resolved a number of the OEM’s concerns with its innovative technology, optimizing the plant’s performance, saving the customer time and money.
ValvTechnologies met with an OEM’s HRSG design engineering team to inquire about issues they were experiencing with their plant’s globe valves. Learn how ValvTechnologies became their reliable partner and trusted advisor, and how they began the process of changing from traditional globe valves to modern advanced technology ball valve designs.
The plant had two main steam isolation PSG valves installed in this application. They were experiencing severe leakage when valves were required to isolate. From initial plant start-up, the frequency of valve maintenance of up to twice per year per valve. The cost of $40,000 per repair, was a particular concern for the plant.
ValvTechnologies’ AbrasoBlock® valve was put to the test during an accelerated product trial in mining plant in Russia. Read this case study to find out how ValvTechnologies’ valve performed and results from the trial.
