Getting The Most From Control Valves

The onus is on steam plant owners and operators to reduce energy consumption and optimise plant performance. Andrew Prew, Market Development Manager at Spirax Sarco outlines the energy-saving and other benefits of modern control valves and explains why a failing valve can actually be an opportunity to cut energy consumption, improve process control and reduce costs.

It is estimated that more than 70% of existing valves are over-sized because steam load has either reduced since their installation or been overestimated. Failing to take action contributes to energy inefficiency though poor process control, leading to increased costs.  (Read More)
