Valve maintenance, management and improved performance

Valve management: a bespoke strategy

Around 25 per cent of the valves on any given plant can be responsible for 70–80 per cent of downtime incidents and operational inefficiencies, and the cost implications of underperforming or malfunctioning valves can grow exponentially if problems remain unchecked.

When isolation valves lose integrity, the issue develops continually, with repercussions spreading wider and wider along the process line. Control and choke valves also have a significant impact on production performance and the safety/integrity performance of a production asset.

Getting the best from your population requires a strategic approach to valve management. At Severn Unival, we work collaboratively with clients to reduce immediate valve-related losses and develop a strategy for continued reduction in the medium to long term.

Drawing on resources, such as Performance+ and our Repair Intelligence Circle ™, we are able to identify and rectify the cause and effect of issues such as downtime, inefficiencies, reportable health & safety incidents and commissioning and start-up problems.

Customers of Severn Glocon products are eligible for bespoke aftermarket care. It is provided by some of the best engineers in the industry and backed up by our innovative technologies. Our entire offering, from initial product specification to ongoing management and maintenance, is joined up and enhanced by the Repair Intelligence Circle™ which makes continually reducing volumes of valve failure a reality, not just a pipe dream.
