Reduce emissions, protect the environment and improve safety in your pipelines
If you are looking to protect your pipelines and reduce fugitive emissions, then look no further. Our brand new CFT-Green Valve Packing System is an innovative way to reduce fugitive emissions and protect against product loss so you can operate productively and with utmost safety.
Leakage around pipeline valves can have catastrophic consequences on the environment, people, and your bottom line. Minimizing fugitive emissions is essential to reducing fines, improving safety, and operating efficiently: ultimately enabling you to operate more sustainably and save costs.
Our new CFT-Green Valve Packing System can help you do just that. The sealing system has been specially engineered to provide superior and long-lasting performance.
“Traditionally, stationary loading packing seal solutions are used to control fugitive emissions, but this type of packing needs frequent maintenance and adjustment as the packing gradually wears and fatigues,” explains Eduardo Zani, Service Operations Director - Valves.
The novel design of the CFT-Green is based on a stem spring loaded seal mechanism, which provides high performance and delivers outstanding reliability with minimal maintenance. The clever spring design in the CFT-Green applies constant pressure on the sealing element, ensuring a tight and robust seal even under extreme conditions. Additionally, the force from the spring helps to maintain the correct compression levels during the seal’s long lifetime, which reduces the need for maintenance and associated costs.
The packing materials have exceptional resistance to high temperatures and pressures and can withstand both harsh environments and corrosive fluids, therefore delivering a durable solution.
“Another major benefit of the CFT-Green compared to conventional seal systems is that it can accommodate slight misalignments in the valve stem or body, reducing the likelihood of leaks even further,” continues Eduardo.
CFT-Green provides an effective sealing solution for valves in the oil and gas, chemical and power generation industries. It is ideal for critical or frequently cycled operations, as well as valves that are only occasionally used or those that are in remote locations. It is available in many sizes to best suit the application.
Our state-of-the-art sealing solution is engineered to exceed industry standards for fugitive emissions control and fire safety, so you can be assured you are working to the highest safety levels and complying with regulations. The seals are certified to ISO 15848-1 Fugitive Emissions type tests and ISO 15848-2 Fugitive Emissions production tests, as well as the API 6FA and ISO 10497 standards for valve fire test.
Our experts can work closely with you to determine the best sealing solution for your valves, ensuring a perfect fit and optimal performance to enhance the efficiency and productivity of your operations.
The CFT-Green Valve Packing System is just one of many products in our portfolio of flow control solutions and services, which also includes total lifecycle support from engineering design services, installation and commissioning to maintenance and repair.
