Compressor Anti-Surge Valve
In many facilities, compressors are among the most critical and costly equipment. High capital and operating costs make it imperative that such equipment gets the best protection.
Compressor surge is a fast, high-energy flow instability that can damage internal components, leading to extensive downtime and expensive repair bills.
Fisher™ optimized valve and actuation system was designed to meet the output and efficiency demands of today’s operating plants. In the past, fast stroking was the only criterion of a good anti-surge valve. Today, an anti-surge valve is expected to be able to respond to any disturbance or setpoint change quickly and accurately.
What’s your opportunity?
- Operate your compressors in a safe and highly reliable manner
- Increase compressor efficiency
- Reduce testing and commissioning time
- Optimize maintenance with condition monitoring and online diagnostics
Petrochemical – Propylene Refrigeration Compression
In an olefins plant, multi-stage compressors are used to compress propylene that is required for refrigeration of the cracked gas.
The anti-surge valves for this critical compressor have to be not only fast but also accurate and most importantly, reliable.
PDH – Reactor Effluent & Heat Pump Compressors
In a Propane Dehydrogenation (PDH) plant, reactor effluent and heat pump typically use centrifugal compressors with large anti-surge valves.
With proper anti-surge valve selection, unlock opportunities to maximize your plant availability.
