Field Retro Fit Actuation for Existing Valves

Solution: After Assured Automation reviewed the process, they found the valves were in excellent condition and did not need to be removed or repaired. The pneumatic actuators had seen moisture damage and needed replacement. Assured Automation offered field retrofit pneumatic actuator packages.

They did a survey of the assortment of ball valve brands and provided customized mounting hardware to retrofit each. Since the valves did not require removal from the pipeline, the plant was able to remain running during the swap of actuation, and the maintenance staff could do it at their convenience.

The cost savings was tremendous, the plant was now standardized on a single actuation package, and maintenance personnel were able to swap each actuator with 4 bolts. There were also a number of manual ball valves that Assured Automation converted to actuated valves which reduced operator involvement in the production process, streamlining the plant automation.
