Spartan's Severe Service technical experts can provide you with the solutions you need to address critical severe service applications including noise, cavitation, out-gassing issues, and particulate erosion. Our approach to solving tough applications is ensure we have a good understanding of the process fluid. Many fluids today have very complex compositions and behaviours. The next step is to use the right technology for the application. Fisher Controls has several different valve designs to choose from for different process needs. Finally, include the right actuation and positioning technology to ensure the valve operates as required. Today's smart positioner technology monitors the valve performance over time to ensure reliability.
The Severe Service Knowledge Centre houses a collection of local severe service control valve case histories and application solutions taken from over 2000 successful installations. The centre includes Severe Service Journals regarding solutions for a broad range of service conditions and requirements. Additional resources are available including links to related product and industry solutions on the Fisher Severe Service website.
