Valve Maintenance Case Study
Project Overview
A chemical processing plant in Latin America faced frequent valve leakage and operational issues, affecting production efficiency. Our team was called in to inspect, repair, and optimize the valves to ensure safe and reliable operation.
Inspection and Diagnosis
Upon arrival, our engineers conducted a thorough on-site inspection. Non-destructive testing (NDT) methods were used to check for internal cracks, corrosion, and wear. Key issues included worn-out seals, damaged seats, and minor body corrosion.
Repair and Maintenance Process
Disassembly: Valves were carefully disassembled to assess internal components.
Cleaning & Surface Treatment: Corroded parts were cleaned and treated to prevent further damage.
Replacement of Worn Components: Seals, seats, and gaskets were replaced with high-quality materials suitable for the chemical media.
Reassembly and Testing: Valves were reassembled and subjected to hydrostatic and air pressure tests to ensure sealing and operational performance.
Outcome
After maintenance, all repaired valves passed rigorous quality tests and were reinstalled successfully. The plant reported improved performance, no leakage issues, and extended valve service life.
Conclusion
Our hands-on repair and maintenance services demonstrate our commitment to reliable, long-lasting valve performance. With professional inspection, precise repairs, and strict testing, we help clients minimize downtime and maintain safe operations in demanding industrial environments.
