Specialised valve design for Hydrogen plant PSA
"Switching valves" are used in the PSA (Pressure Swing Adsorption) process that removes impurities from the hydrogen rich gas manufactured in steam methane reforming plant in a new plant in Italy
The design is based on a multi-function manifold block, which, in normal operation, enables any valve stem gland leakage to be safely routed to a flare or secure storage system.
Routine gland leakage monitoring is easily performed by repositioning the two ball valves on the manifold, which enables the pressure of any leakage to be indicated on the integral gauge.
A measure of the leak rate can be observed by the increase in indicated pressure over a set period of time, enabling any remedial maintenance to be accurately predicted and planned.
The Severn Glocon fugitive emissions monitoring system is suitable for linear and rotary motion valves of virtually any size.
The patented design is CE marked and in conformance with the latest Pressure Equipment and ATEX Directives.
