3 steps to ensure ESD valve reliability beyond certification
Final elements, such as ESD valves, are a critical part in the safety lifecycle. When they are not working properly, the safety of the entire plant is in jeopardy. To ensure overall plant safety, correct ESD valve selection plays a vital role. A lot of uncertainty prevails around the relatively new standards IEC 61508 and IEC 61511 and how they should be interpreted for safety valves. This blog post looks closer at this issue and sheds some light on what is an essential but confusing subject.

This entry describes how an installed Neles erosion/abrasion resistant ceramic valve solution has helped a customer improve FCC unit performance and profitability. In this particular case eroding 2″ to 10″ valves in a refinery’s fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) unit were causing problems that degraded both productivity and profitability. Neles application engineers analyzed the problem and provided a solution that quickly paid itself back many times over.
