D300 - Blanketing Pressure Regulator

D300-G self-actuated lever operated direct acting regulators are the best solution for low pressure applications like blanketing. These are designed to control the set outlet pressure precisely irrespective of variations in inlet pressure and flow rate for the process. Blanketing pressure regulator provides an economical solution for precise pressure control with high accuracies at low pressure requirements for process.
In blanketing pressure regulator is generally used to maintain the pre-determined set value of pressure in the vessel/tank. Movement occurs as pressure variations register below the diaphragm in regulator. The registering pressure is the outlet or pressure in tank/vessel. The loading pressure exerted by spring opposes diaphragm movement. The diaphragm movement is given to stem through the lever.
As tank/vessel pressure tend to drop due to consumption at process, the spring force pushes the diaphragm down, the stem moves up and opens the port. As tank/vessel pressure is compensated the diaphragm is pushed up stem moves down and the port opening closes affecting stoppage of flow.

Pressure Vacuum Relief Valve Ie Breather Valve

Breather valve tank blanketing
PVRV is combination of Pressure Relief Valve and Vacuum Relief Valve. In the event of increase in pressure inside the tank due to various reasons the device allows the excess pressure to relieve and maintain the tank under its desired pressure. Similarly, if the container goes under vacuum due to any reason, the device allows the ingress of atmospheric air inside the container affecting rise in pressure to the level of atmospheric pressure and safeguarding container against possible collapse due to evacuation.
These are generally, dead weight type for standard set pressures. If required, these can be given as spring loaded for higher set pressures.

B900 – Breather Valve With Built-In Flame Arrestor

Typically called as Breather Valve with built-in Flame Arrestor is a tank protection device, which safeguards tank/ vessel from over pressurization or fire. This is a combination of Pressure Vacuum Relief Valve with in-built Flame Arrestor.
Pressure Vacuum Relief Valve PVRV is a protection device designed to protect the tank from possible over pressurization. The pressurization can be positive or negative.
Flame Arrestors are generally deflagration type in crimped metal ribbon construction.
Flame Arrestor is designed to control transmission of flame in container with the help of arrestor element. The element quenches flame by absorbing and dissipating its heat to below the flash point. The arrestor dispenses and cools an approaching flame to a temperature below the vapor’s ignition point thus protecting the unprotected side of the device.
This Pressure Vacuum Relief Valve with built- in Flame Arrestor is a compact unit and less in weight. Being less in weight and friendly for cleaning of flame arrestor element and maintenance of pallets, these are preferred over the conventional separate in-line Flame Arrestor and Breather Valve combination.
These are designed specifically to provide separate flame arrestor elements for both pressure relief as well as vacuum relief port.
The Flame Arrestor Elements are Crimped Metal Ribbon design which ensures lesser pressure drop and has better life with ease of cleaning. Also, these are replaceable and can be changed at site.

Features

  • Bulit In Flame Arrestor: Construction of the unit is such that the Flame Arrestors are provided on the Pressure Vacuum Relief Valve body itself.

  • Separate Flame Arrestors for each port : Pressure Relief Port as well as the Vacuum Relief Port is equipped with separate Flame Arrestor each.

  • Cleaning of Flame Arrestor Element : Cleaning of Flame Arrestor Elements is easy and less time consuming and can be done without removing the unit from the tank nozzle.

  • Easy Maintenance : The maintenance and inspection of the pressure and vacuum pallets is easy and less time consuming.

  • Soft Seated Design : Combination of metallic and soft seating enhances performance at low set values and reduces the leak rate.

  • Material selection : As a standard we provide trim material as AISI 316. Wide range of material is available to suit various services for different process fluids including corrosive fluids. NACE compliance can be provided for sour services.

  • Minimum Maintenance Cost : The general replacement parts are polymer parts like Diaphragm Seals and Gaskets only and thus the maintenance cost is very low.

U300 – Back Pressure Regulating Valve

The U300 Series are Direct Acting Self Actuated Angle Type Low Pressure Back Pressure Regulating Valves meant to regulate the inlet pressure at the pre-determined set value required for the processes / equipment protection.
Back pressure regulating value U 300
Being self actuated it does not require any external controller for its functionality. These are widely used in almost each business segment wherein the various utilities are needed at controlled pressure for various processes.
The inlet pressure is directly acts below the diaphragm. The loading pressure exerted by spring opposes diaphragm movement. As inlet pressure tend to rise; it pushes the diaphragm up, opening the port and relief the pressure; as inlet pressure is compensated, the spring force pushes the diaphragm down and the port opening closes affecting stoppage of flow.

Features

  • Back Pressure Regulation / Control : These are designed to respond to the smallest rise in pressure at inlet and allow the excess pressure at outlet affecting protection of equipments like storage tanks and process vessels. These are also used as Pressure Holding Valves as they hold the pressure at upstream.

  • Self Actuated Design : This series of back pressure regulating valves are self actuated or self contained and hence, do not require any external energy like pneumatic air or electricity to operate.

  • Internal impulse Sensing : The impulse sensing is internal ie through the valve body itself avoiding the impulse tubing for sensing.

  • Accurate Pressure Control : The inlet pressure directly acts on the diaphragm to counter balance the spring force affecting efficient response capability and accuracy.

  • Easy Maintenance : The maintenance and inspection of the back pressure regulating valve internals is possible without removing body from pipe line.

  • Material selection : As a standard we provide trim material as AISI 316. Wide range of material is available to suit various services for different process fluids including corrosive fluids. NACE compliance can be provided for sour services.

  • Tamper - Resistant Adjustment : Cap and adjusting screw discourage on-field tampering of the pressure setting.

  • Leakage Proof : Combination of metallic and soft seat enables the leakage class VI as per ANSI FCI 70.2.

  • Minimum Maintenance Cost : The general replacement parts are polymer parts like Diaphragm, Soft Seat & O Rings only and thus the maintenance cost is very low.

Flame Arrestors

Flame Arrestor is designed to control transmission of flame in container with help of arrestor element. The element quenches the flame by absorbing and dissipating its heat to below the flash point.
Flame Arrestor is a device installed to the opening of a tank or vessel or reactor or to the connecting pipe work of a system of containers, whose intended function is to allow flow but prevent the transmission of flame.
Flame Arrestor is a passive protection device meant for safeguarding the storage tanks and humans from possible fire accidents due to smallest occurrence of flame in the plant. There may be two sources of flame viz lightening or smallest spark.
A Flame Arrestor should be installed, wherever flammable / volatile liquids are stored or flammable liquids / gases are transported. Installation of Flame Arrestor ensures the safety against possible fire and the subsequent damage to plant and human lives.

REGPORT Flame Arrestors are designed with Crimped Metal Ribbon design, which ensures least pressure drop and has better life with ease of cleaning. Also, these are replaceable and can be changed at site.
