In the chemical and agricultural sectors, valves are commonly subjected to high pressures, extreme temperatures, and corrosive media. These conditions cause damage to components that are not designed and manufactured to handle them, which can lead to failure and, consequently, critical and costly effects on employee well-being, equipment operation, and plant productivity.
A common application for Severe Service Valves is in the production of urea, a compound used in the manufacture of nitrogen based fertilizer (within the agricultural industry) and for air pollution reduction (in diesel engines – DEF). Industry professionals face a number of challenges when selecting and sourcing SSVs for urea service. For example:
