Asset performance management of mechanical components by industry 4.0 app

Man check on tablet the asset performance of mechanical components by industry 4.0 app.

Building a new facility or upgrading an existing one is a high-stakes mission. Even with modern technological and mechanical advances, there are thousands of tasks to juggle. Each is imperative for the delivery of an asset that withstands the site conditions and the challenges of daily operations.

Practical test installation of a DBB Piping Ball Valve at a gas storage facility

Practical test installation of DBB piping ball valve in natural gas plant.

One of the things that I enjoy the most about my job is discussing new improvement opportunities with clients. Situations like that push me to engineer viable solutions that solve operational setbacks, so they can enjoy more reliability and safety at work. And that was what happened when I designed the practical test installation procedure I’m about to share. It was for a double block and bleed (DBB) ball valve installed in a gas storage facility.

Types of valves used in piping and how to classify them

This article presents an overview of valves, their functions and the commonly used types of valves in the industry. The design principle, application areas, benefits and disadvantages of various types of valves are presented. Different methods of valve classification are also discussed to highlight the key considerations in valve selection.

Static digital twin functionality for valves and manifolds

Digital twin of mechanical components like valves and manifolds.

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is getting more and more traction. The IIOT promises to transform processes of the industry. It demands the securing and availability of far higher amounts of data, at far greater speeds. Often the data is moved into cloud for big data processing. Connectivity and scalability are mandatory.

Emergency aid for leaking valves and manifolds

Emergency aid for leaking valves due to Binzagr cooperation.

Severe problems can arise if industrial valves are defective in chemical plants or in oil or gas applications – possibly with leaks. The broken industrial valves must be replaced as soon as possible. Without long delivery times.

Cryogenic valves for LNG application – Part 2

In our second part of the cryogenic valve series I would like to responsive on questions like “What are the challenges of using cryogenic?”, “Selecting a valve for cryogenic service.”, “How can engineers ensure tightness of cryogenic valves?” and “What should engineers pay attention to during assembly of cryogenic valves?”.

Valves in extreme cold: 3 criteria are decisive

Arctic operation valves for extreme cold.

Whether in Alaska, Norway or Russia: Industrial valves, such as those used in chemical plants or the oil industry, are exposed to extreme cold as low as -55°C in some regions. However, not all industrial valves are suitable for operation in extreme cold. Three criteria are decisive.
