What is the importance of the use of security valves and compressed natural gas monitoring equipment?

The application of compressed natural gas in the industry continues to grow steadily, due to the benefits it provides in reducing costs and polluting emissions. To be able to use it, you must comply with strict safety guidelines and, of course, have the appropriate equipment.

Thus, to the savings obtained by using natural gas instead of diesel, gasoline, or other fuels both in direct cost and in equipment maintenance cost, is added the convenience of producing lower amounts of polluting waste, which facilitates compliance with ecological standards. that may be required.

In the same way, the industry must comply with safety standards that ensure an operation that minimizes risks. This is directly related to the use of appropriate regulatory equipment of proven quality. Having these also affects production capacity.

That is why the importance of safety valves that allow the control of regulation, transport, compression, decompression, filtering, and supply of compressed natural gas operations. It is vital that this equipment, due to the nature of its use, is certified and undergoes tests and inspections to ensure its capacity.

At Tectuus we know about safety, which is why our Eclipse safety valves and other components are subjected to high pressure hydrostatic tests more than 40,000 psi. We have the ISO 9001 2008 certification in quality management, and the Pressure Equipment Directive (TPED) Certification on transportable pressure equipment.

Additionally, our components are subjected to cycle, pressure, leakage, low temperature, and operation controls tests. In this way with us you will find complete solutions for the control and security of your operations. Our experience covers all phases of the use of compressed natural gas.

The necessary control for our equipment is provided by the Scada monitoring system, which is a data acquisition and supervision control system that allows the reading of parameters in real time at each control or measurement point and using any internet link so remote.

From the control center of the Scada system, the control of the valves is carried out, reporting immediately when there is any reading outside the operating range or faults in the system. The Scada system is not only applicable to CNG, but to any process that requires measuring and controlling fluids.

At Tectuus we give you control with our engineering, design, and support solutions. Our variety of Eclipse safety valves fit every need. Contact us and see why Tectuus is synonymous with control and security!
