Valves for ethylene and propylene processing
Improving reliability and productivity of your process
Over the past decade, demand for ethylene has steadily risen and so has the need for valve solutions that offer maximum reliability, safety and performance.
Reliable valves and services for ethylene and propylene processing
Sustainable profitability
After safety, uptime is the primary concern that ultimately determines whether or not an olefin plant will be sustainably profitable in an increasingly competitive global market.
There are many critical valves within an ethylene plant. From cracking to quenching, valves are subject to a wide range of thermal conditions, corrosive medium and coke residue. In these demanding applications, inferior valves will quickly wear, leak and need service. Great valves will reduce fugitive emissions and extend the intervals between scheduled maintenance shutdowns.
Ethylene-specific valves from Neles™ are tailor-made to tackle applications challenges
Friction and galling are the enemy of valve cycle life. Our proprietary coatings are carefully chosen for their thermal expansion compatibility with the substrate. The result is that many Neles customers are now increasing the time between scheduled valve maintenance from 3 – 4 years to 7 – 9 years.
