  Valves and flow equipment for the organic chemicals industry

  Posted in: Markets

  Organic chemical plants operate with solvent, organic intermediate, resin, alcohol, hydrocarbon, additive, petrochemical product, steam, thermal oil, chilled water, glycol, nitrogen, compressed air and auxiliary fluid lines. Valve selection is based on fluid chemistry, temperature, pressure, viscosity, volatility, flammability and the sealing requirements of each line. Organic synthesis, mixing, distillation, condensation, storage, transfer and dosing processes require a defined function for...
