With Clarkson KS1 knife gate valves from Emerson, the improvement was dramatic and immediate. After 8 months, the new valves remain in service, never having required a repair or change out. The installed cost of each valve was less than $27,000, so the project paid for itself in just over two weeks, and it has been generating nearly $10,000 per week in savings since.
read moreSupercritical fluids are often found in carbon capture, ethylene, and hydrogen refining processes, and they pose unique equipment selection challenges, particularly for control valves. Our article on pages 45-50 in the February issue of Hydrocarbon Engineering, titled “Demystifying Control Valve Selection,” discusses key supercritical fluid applications, and it provides guidance for sizing and...
