The Flowserve decoking control valve controls the flow from the jet pump with a single valve providing three distinct features: recirculation flow control, pre-fill and full flow to the decoking tool nozzles.
- Applications:
Decoking, Petroleum Production and Refining - Industries:
Heavy Oil and Upgrading, Delayed Coking
Three Distinct Functions
- Recirculation (bypass) flow control for pump protection
- Pre-fill of decoking lines, hoses, manifolds, etc., at a predetermined flow rate to prevent water hammer
- Full flow to the decoking tool nozzles. Very low pressure drop (high Kv [Cv]) in full flow for reduced energy consumption
Features and Benefits
- Cost-effective solution
- Design and maintenance simplicity with minimal moving parts
- No foundation required
Design Features
- Long Stroke, Single Stem Operation
- Assures no unwanted overlap of functions
- Non-Clogging Design
- Passes particles up to 3 mm (1/8 in)
- Compact Design
- Simplifies installation. Suitable for direct mounting on the jet pump
- Stainless Steel
- Inlaid at all gasket surfaces, option for fully lined body
- Valve Stem Sealing
- Using low friction elastomer rings. No adjustment…no packing required
- Proven, Replaceable, Durable Soft Seals
- Assures zero leakage with water and coke fines – no lapping required during repairs
- Instant Return
- To any operating mode upon command
- Actuation
- Limitorque® motor operator is standard. Optional double-acting pneumatic actuator with positioner is available with 5.5 bar (80 psi) to 7 bar (100 psi) air supply requirement
- Decoking Valve Upgrade Options
- A Flowserve decoking expert can help specify appropriate materials and design enhancements, controls and instrumentation for specific service requirements
