Aerodynamic noise attenuation in rotary control valves

Are rotary control valves a good choice to be used in dampening aerodynamic noise? Here’s what our expert blogger Ville Kähkönen explains.

Things to consider in valve selection for catalytic cracking

Reliable and accurate control, on-off and ESD-valve performance is important for total process efficiency, productivity and safety. Here’s presented some of the key-applications and things to consider in selecting valves for a typical FCCU.

Reaching the harshest limits with reliable valves

It takes a lot for oil and gas equipment to operate reliably in sub-zero temperatures. Plus, the valves working silently alongside to keep production on target require a great deal of specialized expertise to guarantee that they will work relentlessly in safety-critical applications. To eliminate risks with valves and focus on production performance, oil and gas companies are choosing special low-temperature-proven control flow solutions.

Simple steps can prevent valve issues during start-up

Unexpected problems in flow control equipment are the bane of all process engineers looking to start up projects on schedule. Valves are often (incorrectly) identified as being ‘bad actors’ as the root cause tends to lie elsewhere, is the experience of Valmet’s Mr Börjesson. Better on-site practices could be the solution, is his message

Future-proofing valve control

New distributed control systems (DCSs) reduce operating expenses in a range of cement production processes, including the operation and maintenance costs of valves. Valmet explains the importance of DCSs and highlights advances in valve and pump technology

Erosion can be stopped

Erosion can be stopped: Many of the problems associated with erosion in valves can be controlled with proper selection and sizing, whilst alternative materials of construction can be a solution for more severe applications.

Good preparation for a major shutdown saves time and money

Every shutdown is a major investment of time and resources, but can be optimized using the latest tools and extensive maintenance expertise.

Pipeline operator boosts uptime and profitability with Q-Ball

Self-flushing anti-cavitation trim eliminates maintenance outages, while decreasing noise and vibration and eliminating cavitation damage.

Cloud based diagnostics for valves

Through automatic analysis, you get insights without delays. Removal of manual steps allows the information to be based on real-time data. The quality of the insights is elevated as the risk of human error drops, and experts can concentrate their time and effort on actionable insights instead of tedious data combing. You can be certain that you will always have the newest information available for your decision-making.
