Pentair Valves & Controls supplied its largest-ever bolted bonnet flanged wedge gate valves for an integrated petrochemical plant located in the Middle East. Engineered and manufactured under the Fasani brand, the specialist carbon steel-bodied valves measure 78” and 84” in diameter with ANSI class 150 pressure rating.
Designed for wet flare line applications within the plant, the Pentair team worked closely with the project engineering and procurement contractor to design, manufacture and test the customised valve solution. For this project, Pentair’s wedge gate valve design offered an improved fluid passage and optimised flow compared with other valve technology options.
“These extraordinary Fasani valves are the largest cast wedge gate valves ever produced by Pentair and represent a substantial engineering accomplishment for our team”, comments Trevor Shanks, vice president of gate, globe, check and control valves at Pentair Valves & Controls. Pentair’s Fasani brand large-size wedge gate valves are ideally suited to challenging applications in the petrochemical and chemical processing industries.
