Experience matters in valve sizing and selection

All too often, valve sizing and selection tools are based on standard equations and rules of thumb shaped by performance data collected under laboratory conditions. While laboratory data may be considered extremely accurate, they are no substitute for real-world data collected under actual operating conditions over an extended period of time.

Our care for our planet

During April, we at Neles have been active in the global struggle against climate change. We have undertaken many environmental actions with the initiation of our special environmental month, from Earth Hour on March 27, continuing through April. Our actions have focused on saving energy, increasing recycling, and tapping into the circular economy.

Stock parts and ensure availability

Over recent years we have witnessed several events which only a decade ago would have been unthinkable. We all remember the photos of the small digger trying to free the massive cargo ship from the banks of Suez Canal, and we can still feel the effects of the viral pandemic. Moreover, the ever more frequent extreme weather patterns, such as floods and hurricanes, impose an additional uncertainty. There is clearly much more unpredictability around us. Just as the physical environment changes, so does the figurative environment we do business in; and these changes have certainly highlighted the fragility of the global supply chains.

Managing valve wear in FCC slurry oil service

Fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) is an important upgrading process for converting heavy oil feedstock into products such as gasoline, light fuel oils, and olefin-rich gases at oil refineries. In this process, a hot catalyst from the regenerator flows in a fluidized state through the riser tube into the reactor. Do you want to enhance the wear protection of the critical flow control devices in the FCC unit? Read on and join my presentation in Valve World.

Why should I choose a pinch valve for a slurry control application?

There are three main advantages to choosing a pinch valve for slurry control application: first, the abrasion resistance; second, wide flow control range; and third, the low life cycle cost.
