Safety Valve and Seal Plan
Essential Accessories
Industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, and high-pressure fluid handling demand equipment that not only performs efficiently but also minimizes risks to personnel, the environment, and downstream equipment. Safety valves and seal plans achieve this. They form an essential part of pump accessory systems.
They ensure safe operation in high-stakes industries like petroleum production and processing, where fluid pressures can fluctuate dramatically and fluids can be chemically aggressive.
Ensuring Safe and Reliable Operation
- Prevent leakage of hydrocarbons, chemicals, or abrasive fluids
- Maintain system pressure and pump performance
- Minimize environmental risks by controlling emissions
- Extend mechanical seal life through proper lubrication and cooling
Industrial Applications
In oil and gas, safety valves and seal plans are essential in applications such as:
- Crude oil transfer and export: Ensuring the integrity of high-viscosity or multiphase crude oil while preventing overpressure in pipelines.
- Chemical injection for enhanced oil recovery: Protecting pumps when injecting polymers, surfactants, or other shear-sensitive chemicals.
- Produced water handling: Preventing leakage and corrosion when handling brine or contaminated water streams.
- Offshore platforms: Reducing the risk of spills or overpressure events in confined, high-stakes environments.
Beyond oil and gas, similar principles apply in chemical processing, pulp and paper, and food and beverage industries, where safety and reliability are paramount.
