Chemical Processing Industry Valves

By: DFT Inc.

In the chemical processing industry, equipment is often subjected to wide temperature fluctuations, high pressure, and corrosive chemicals. Maintaining control over these processes necessitates the installation of control valves and check valves at various points throughout the system, all of which should be able to withstand the above facility conditions.

At DFT®, they supply a broad selection of high-quality valves suitable for use in the chemical processing industry. Their control valves and check valves are engineered to handle some of the most severe environments. For example, DFT®’s check valves prevent fluid systems issues such as reverse flow and water hammer, while providing the strength needed to withstand harsh operating conditions. They comply with industry standards and can be customized to your specific chemical processing application.

Chemical Industry Challenges for Valves

The DFT® team of valve experts understands the unique challenges that face the chemical processing industry. When designing and building their valves, they keep operating and environmental conditions in mind to ensure they perform as expected. Additional considerations to keep in mind when selecting a valve for use in chemical processing systems include energy usage and flow configuration, all qualities of which affect the overall performance of the system.

Valve Applications in the Chemical Processing Industry

DFT Achieving Success in Chemical ProcessingValves find applications in a wide range of chemical processing operations. For example:

  • In nitrogen purging operations within chemical sampling systems, they control the amount of nitrogen dispensed into the system and prevent leakage from flowing back into the nitrogen source
  • In cooling towers, they regulate pump startup and shutdown to facilitate proper water circulation and reduce heat generation
  • In fluid processing systems, they eliminate the risk of water hammer

Some other common use cases for these critical components include use in:

  • Compressors
  • Condensate return systems
  • Cryogenic equipment
  • Ethylene production systems
  • Evaporators
  • Heat exchangers
  • Metering pumps
  • Mine dewatering systems
  • Pump and compressor discharge systems
  • Vacuum lines and breakers
  • Water treatment facilities
