Supply of 108 Bürkert Ball Valves, Pilot Solenoids and Actuators
Background
Process Instrument Solutions was tasked with providing valves for delivery and off-load of raw materials for a major UK chemical manufacturer.
The customer chose Bürkert on the strength of its reputation and delivery of speed of high- specification valves. This was bolstered by the guarantee that the correct materials of construction, paperwork would be sustained and delivered by Process Instruments’ local expertise.
Challenge
In essence the current chemical manufacturing plant was outdated with only basic safety systems in place to prevent solvents travelling into the incorrect tank. This was highly problematic for various safety reasons and greatly impacted the general running and efficiency of the plant. This project was to ensure the rigorous chemical industry health and safety measures were absolutely adhered to.
Solution
The new series of valves, Pilot Solenoids and Actuators that have been supplied and installed by Process Instrument Solutions are all SIL Safety certified and fitted with ATEX switch boxes which correspond with the integrated control system to ensure the correct valves open and close.
This central system was fitted by Lark Technology and makes certain that there is no risk of spillages. These new systems are essential; compliant with the stringent Healthy and Safety and insurance requirements.
Result
The outcome of this project is the total reassurance that the very best safety applications are now in place for the chemical plant’s high valve delivery system of volatile and flammable substances. The safeguarding of the plant is of the utmost importance as well as reducing any potential negative environmental impacts that could follow from a leak or spillage.
