01.17.24 -- Comprehensive Guide To Flow Solutions For Harsh Environments

The European Union, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and many other global groups are working to reduce the greenhouse gases (GHGs) that are the main cause of the global warming phenomenon. The oil and gas industry, in response to new regulations and their requirements, has increased its focus on accurately measuring, monitoring, and reporting the flared GHGs that result from production, refining, storage, and distribution activities.

Valves are one of the most common assets in the process industry, spanning all verticals. Chemicals, refineries, and petrochemicals, however, will find improved valve health diagnostics useful for critical valves and controllers in their plants, while upstream and midstream oil and gas companies may be focused on much larger, critical valves such as pipeline or subsea valves. Using Seeq, process manufacturers can implement a condition-based monitoring analysis to monitor valve health across an entire fleet, and engineers can utilize the historical data to accurately create a predictive maintenance forecast and preemptively detect valve failures before they occur.
