8 ways to lower the total cost of valve ownership

The concept of total cost of ownership (TCO) is not an unfamiliar term when discussing investment decisions in process industries. It has become a valuable tool to help buyers make more informed purchase decisions.

Safe offshore production – part 3: processing information

There are efficient technologies available which can optimize the plant shutdown time as well optimize the needed visits in the platforms. Real time condition monitoring, using open technology asset management tools and analyzing the condition monitoring information works very efficient way and the following examples describes better this idea.

Win-win service at Grupa LOTOS refinery

The best service solution is the one that fits the customer’s needs best. At the Grupa LOTOS Refinery, in Gdansk, Poland, Neles’ full-fledged customer service is a reality. It features a business focused service agreement, a maintenance presence near the customer and looking after the refinery’s valves and operation.

How to improve valve service life in Catalyst Cracking Units

A catalyst, by definition, is a substance that enhances a chemical reaction. In the refining industry, catalysts are extensively used in many upgrading processes. One common upgrading process in refineries is the Fluid Catalytic Cracking unit (FCC) unit, which converts heavier distillation cuts into lighter, more profitable products, such as gasoline. This unit has many severe service valve applications that require special attention to design and material selection.

Jamesbury™ ball valve, series 6FRF

The 6FRF ball valve is a member of the Jamesbury™ Value-Line™ Series which offers the benefits of proven quality and design performance with exceptional economy not previously available in high-performance ball valves. Its full-bore configuration and high- pressure rating 1000 psi for 1" – 2" (DN 25 – 50), 800 psi for 3" (DN 80) make it an ideal choice for the majority of applications where tight shut-off is required.

Neles™ 6D ball valves - Visualizing the experience of ownership first

When it comes to the Neles 6D ball valve product family, we started with the customer in mind. Much the same way we do when it comes to the development of any of our flow control solutions. Our customers seek reliable, future-proof API 6D valve solutions that provide the perfect balance of fresh features and robust field-proven technology.

Controlling your flotation process

Flotation is an important part of mineral processing in most mining operations, requiring an accurate, durable, and repeatable level control valve to manage level control in the column, cell, staged reactor, or direct reactor. The head pressure to the control valve from each type of flotation process makes sizing a critical function to ensure proper operation of the valve and performance of the solution. For instance, flotation cells have very low driving head pressure to the valve. Since the head pressure is so low, inlet velocities, outlet velocities, and any bends or elbows in the piping can affect this low head pressure. If all factors are not considered carefully in this case, the danger is mis-sizing the level control valve on the low side.

Mobile 3D measurement – a new unique method to determine the right service for valves
