How are valves important in our everyday lives?

Did you know that valves play an important role in our everyday lives? Wherever fluids move in a pipe, valves are needed to secure their safe and reliable flow. And this happens in most process industries – and even to make products or materials that might surprise you. Millions of valves are working day and night in various industries globally. Let’s talk more about this and reveal some fascinating facts about valves.

Valve controller usability saves money and time, while improving safety and reliability

At a plant, the usability of a valve controller plays a major role in a number of situations. Whether you need to install a valve controller on actuators in volume production, quickly replace one in real field conditions or interpret its diagnostic information – simplicity is highly beneficial.

Does your MRO strategy support the required maintenance efficiency targets?

To achieve optimum uptime, advanced plants are striving to manage their assets with a more proactive maintenance approach in addition to targeting more reliable and safer operations. Being proactive includes reactive, preventive and predictive methods to find the right approach for each asset based on their criticality to the process environment.

How transparent collaboration leads to higher performance

Maintaining a plant is a challenge that requires deep knowledge and great listening abilities. When it comes to keeping valves at peak performance, we need to listen to plant personnel, suppliers and to the valve itself. When plant maintenance and reliability managers consider all sides, they get the full story and the best valve performance.

How to maintain peak performance in a gas turbine plant

The worldwide gas turbine market is expected to grow over the long run by 3.5% per annum. This growth is being driven by increasing industrialization and urbanization combined with the rising demand for electricity.

Propane dehydrogenation: solving the propylene production puzzle with reliable valves

Propylene is the second most valuable intermediate in the petrochemical industry after ethylene. Are you able to keep your production of propylene up at the right levels to meet increasing global demand? It may be that your propylene production is compromised by an inefficient process. How can better valves help you boost your production and reduce cost?

Instructions for safely taking and using calender nip impressions

Nip impressions are usually taken at installation or to investigate causes for poor paper quality. Taking nip impressions is dangerous if not performed correctly, and should only be done by trained personnel.

Preventive unwind stand maintenance reduces waste and downtime

The unwind is responsible for several functions in the finishing process, including supercalendering, coating, and rewinding paper into a denser, more stable roll. During operation, it endures constant tension, high speed and vibration, which slowly take their toll. So proper maintenance is essential.

Measuring wound-in tension - WIT-WOT and gap test methods

Among the most important factors determining the quality of a finished paper roll is consistent roll structure. Wound-in tension is the most important component of roll structure. The WIT-WOT and Gap Test are methods of measuring wound-in tension.
