Navigating high temperature challenges with Neles™ Neldisc™ butterfly valves
As process temperatures go up, the challenges for the flow control equipment increase gradually. Stepping above 250 °C requires most of the plastics and polymers to be abandoned and the selection of metallic materials instead. Furthermore, when the temperature rises above 600 °C, the challenges with the suitability of the materials require even more careful attention.

Challenges and solutions for molsieve dryer processes
Molecular sieves, or molsieves, are used in the refining and petrochemical process industries as adsorbents. They are mainly used in scenarios whereby very dry streams are required, helping to remove water and other oxygen sources to avoid catalyst deactivation and potential corrosion problems in the process plant. Molsieves exist in different pore sizes and their use varies between applications.

Fugitive emission certified valves enhance process plants’ safety
Today’s guest blogger is discussing the growing challenges of emission control, what kind of standard compliance is required and how does a valve supplier answer to these demands.
Insights ● Blog postHow to choose control valves?
Control valve requirements often differ depending on the process area, application and end user specifications. Process conditions and the range of parameters also vary widely, including pressure, temperature, controllability, cavitation risk, environmental impact, noise and more. Plus, priorities may differ. An end user may want to know more about a valve’s performance, controllability and total life-cycle cost, whereas an EPC contractor may be more concerned about the CAPEX-related costs and delivery times. How do you know where to start – and where to turn for help with quality information you can rely on?
