  • Wellhead Compressor Valve Reduces Methane Emissions

    Wellhead Compressor Valve Reduces Methane Emissions

    Many modulating valves in the gas industry utilize pipeline gas media for actuating valves which often causes problems with greenhouse emissions. CFR40 Part60 subpart 0000 limits the bleed rate for these modulating valves utilizing the media for actuation. Problem: An OEM of gas lift compressors was in search of an all electric valve that could…

  • Globe vs. V Port Ball Valves for Flow Control Applications

    Globe vs. V Port Ball Valves for Flow Control Applications

    In most process applications there are two different types of valves used: on/off and control. On/off valves allow full flow or stopping flow completely. Control valves, in contrast have the ability to control the AMOUNT of flow, also known as throttling. V-Port Ball Valves V-Port ball valves are a specialized ball valve that offer: Suitability…

  • 3 Types of Emergency Shutdown and Emergency Isolation Valves

    3 Types of Emergency Shutdown and Emergency Isolation Valves

    The two most common methods used to trigger a thermal shutoff, eliciting a failure position in pneumatically operated Emergency Shut Down and Emergency Isolation Valves are: (1) Fusible Plugs, and (2) Plastic Tubing. Both of these techniques have been used in emergency shutdown systems for years in refining, chemical, petrochemical, pulp and paper, flavors and…

  • Emergency Block Valves with Fusible Links & Electro-thermal Shutoffs Increase Safety Factor

    Emergency Block Valves with Fusible Links & Electro-thermal Shutoffs Increase Safety Factor

    The FM Fire-Safe Electro-Thermal Link ball valve is activated by either heat or signal from smoke detector to dump flammable fluids to another source. The fire safe thermal shutoff closes to prevent fueling of a fire in petroleum and chemical processing plants. In his presentation on Emergency Block Valves (EBV) to the AIChE sponsored Global…
