Marketing Analyst - Oil & Gas, CCI Plant Types CCI Production Oil Production Gas Production GOSP CCI Transportation Gas Transportation Gas Storage Liquids Transportation CCI Processing LNG Production Gas Processing CCI Petrochemical Ethylene Ammonia Renery Overview CCI DRAG Valve technology has advanced along with the Oil & Gas industry. Quick stroking requirements for compressor recycle have reached one second or less using low cost, highly reliable pneumatic actuation. This is a major trademark advantage of CCI Control Valves. Hydraulic actuation has been used but is not favored due to high maintenance, reliability and high cost. CCIs balance seal is unique in the industry. This design clamps the seal in the bonnet, which is superior to manufacturers who use the balance seal in a groove on the plug. The resulting benet is that the balance seal remains effective at cryogenic temperatures as the seal shrinks to form a better plug seal, while the competitors plug seal shrinks and moves away from the cage impairing sealing.

For gas to are valves, tight shutoff has ensured that product or feedstock has not been unnecessarily ared. A minimum of Class V shutoff and frequently Class VI shutoff has been applied successfully for this application. CCI was a leader in the development of IEC 534. We were one of the rst to recognize a noise increase in the expansion section of a control valve applied for noise control. Acceptable noise levels below 85 dBA have been met through CCIs severe service installations globally. CCI can assist in Selection of Severe Service valve applications, to ensure low ownership costs. CCI can lower installed cost due to smaller pipe sizes, and reduce parallel valve installation due to high valve rangeability. For example, in compressor recycle, a startup ball valve may be in parallel to the recycle valve. However, CCI can add this application requirement into the compressor recycle application, saving the client installation costs. To summarize, Severe Service applications are critical for low noise, protection of major equipment components, minimizing loss of product or feedstock, increase compressor efciency, and ensuring high plant reliability and efciency. CCI engineers can review systems and apply proven solutions to lower installed cost. CCI has proven references installed in over 50% of the LNG plants globally.

Purpose Eliminate Unwanted Noise High uid velocities through the pressure letdown process will create aerodynamic noise. Controlling the uid velocities through the letdown path to an acceptable level will ensure that noise is not created in the rst place. This is called source treatment where noise is not hidden, but not created. CCI DRAG technology takes the entire pressure drop through the disk stack and attenuates the noise to the specied level without the use of downstream devices, or silencers. Protection of Major Equipment Components The compressor is one of the most expensive pieces of equipment for an Oil & Gas Plant. A compressor can go into surge if the ow drops below 80% of the rated ow. The CCI DRAG valve is designed to respond and open within 1 second to protect the compressor from surge ow. A good control system along with the CCI DRAG valve will provide a long life for the compressor. This has been proven by our references in other Plants around the world. Minimize Loss of Product or Feedstock If a gas-to-are valve is leaking, then precious product is going to are where it will be wasted. Repeatable, tight shutoff is absolutely necessary to ensure that product or feedstock will go where it belongs, which is to the customer, and not burned. Increase Compressor Efciency Compressor Recycle valves must have repeatable tight shutoff to ensure that the compressor will have the highest efciency. It is known that a majority of the cost of the compressor is the energy cost to run it over a period of time. This signicantly outweighs the cost of the valve. When a valve is leaking, then the compressor requires more energy to meet the same throughput. This leaking inefciency can far outweigh the costs of the valve over time, even the cost of the compressor.

Ensure High System Reliability and Efciency There are many components to system reliability and efciency. These include: Maintain plant efciency Maintain high plant throughput Ensure high valve and equipment reliability Increase plant availability. All of these are consistent with each other. Excellent products and services ensure an excellent system that is reliable and efcient. Compromising with a lower cost inferior technical solution to save money will end up costing more money in the long run. How can you meet the above purposes? By specifying the critical control valves important to the project at an early stage. Critical control valves heavily impact the above aspects of the plant the Owners are measuring. The valve specications ensuring that the above requirements are met, include the Control valve Specications based on ISA.
