When it comes to your application, Strahman has the solution.
When the world leader in PET production contacted Strahman for high performance control valves, our expert engineers designed a solution that exceeded our customer’s expectations.
The Challenge
A major debottlenecking expansion required a control valve to meter flow to a filter pump and achieve more efficient PET production as a result.
The Solution
A Strahman Piston-Type Control Valve with our “M-Control” head/seat, sized using calculations developed by our engineers and a Computational Fluid Dynamics program. The customer provided their process conditions and desired flow rates. Our engineering team designed a parabollic control head for their specific application.
Once installed, the valve worked beyond the customer’s expectations, controlling the polymer flow to a 1% variance. The valve has now performed flawlessly for years.
