Fractionation Applications

Maximizing the production, uptime and efficiency of process operations is critical in an aggressive economic and regulatory environment. 

Typical industrial facilities have over 75% of their physical assets under some form of process control. However, studies show that most process control systems under perform and are not coordinated to optimize unit operations. 

Making alterations to process piping and adding cabling to accommodate additional measurement points are cost intensive. 

Measurement points that were impossible to monitor in the past, such as points on moving or rotating equipment, temperature, pressure, or level in harsh environmental conditions, are now available. 

In a gas fractionation facility, fugitive hydrocarbon emissions originate from many sources such as pump seals, connectors and control valves.

Midstream gas processing companies face many challenges as they strive to reduce both capital and plant maintenance cost requirements while also optimizing production and maintaining safe operations.

In order to maintain regulatory compliance, gas processing systems are subject to stringent process control requirements. Flow Control valves are a crucial part of that process.
