Valve Actuation and Automation in Refineries and Petrochemical Plants – Telegraph

Modern refineries and petrochemical complexes run on automation, and valves are no exception. From routine flow control to emergency isolation in a fraction of a second, the actuator attached to a valve determines how fast, how precisely, and how reliably it responds. Choosing the right actuation technology is as critical as choosing the valve itself — a mismatched actuator can leave an otherwise well-specified valve unable to meet its process or safety requirement. Manual vs. Automated Valve Operation Not…
