Valve Problems-Cavitation

Like all equipment valves are subject to problems in operation, quick and accurate identification and troubleshooting of the problem is necessary to ensure that the problem doesn't impede the process or result in equipment failure. The valve body is prone to cavitation, this occurs when the fluid within occupies 2 phases, vapour and liquid, essentially …

Valve Actuators

These are used to remotely control a valve and are common in the modern industrial plant environment, they represent the final element of control for a particular process. They may be either air, gas or hydraulic and are classified depending on the power supply used to actuate the valve. Pneumatic actuators use air to control …

Valves

The gate keepers of any industrial process fluid flow, these devices are responsible for or aid in the control of fluid flow. They are mechanical devices that can be interacted with directly or indirectly. Directly the operator can physically/manually operate the valve to open, close or throttle the fluid flow passing within. Indirectly the valve …

Gas To Liquid

This is a refining process to convert gas to other gaseous hydrocarbons with longer chains such as gasoline or diesel. Methane rich gases are converted into liquid synthetic fuels via direct conversion or via syngas. Methanol to Gasoline Process (MTG) The process starts by converting the natural gas to syngas then conversion of the syngas …

Steam Jacketed Process Line

This is used when it becomes necessary to keep an internal process at a particular temperature or physical state. The system has two main components an internal process line and an outer line that envelopes the process line. The process line in usually smaller and this is used to allow the free flow of a …
