Success StoriesSafety valve upgrades provide savings and simplicity“A major utility company had to delay startup because parts were not on site …Further study revealed a large number of different safety valve designs from four different suppliers.”“There is a 40% decrease in safety valve spare parts inventory and the quality of repair has noticeably improved.”

Improving turbine operating efficiency“A power plant was experiencing frequent failure rates with pressure relief valves installed to protect turbine gland seals from overpressure.”“Since the implementation, Consolidated’s 2900 POSRV has performed flawlessly allowing the plant to operate efficiently.”

Economizer relief valve damage eliminated“Damage to safety valves due to chatter is a common problem for economizers and …”“The successful operation of the 2900-40 POSRV eliminated downtime with an annual savings of $6.5 million.”

Safety valve failures eliminated at major Asian olefins company“A major Asian olefins company, using a competitor’s safety valve on their boiler, was experiencing severe chatter and seat leakage.”“Twenty-four safety valves on twelve boilers were replaced with the 1700 Type Maxiflow® safety valve. The valves have been leak tight and trouble-free, delivering annual cost savings and improved financial performance to the olefins company.”
