RE: Axial flow piston check valve - Fouling service

Al,

Thanks for the reply.

Wonder if you have any info from your maintenance to say that they do not have a problem with these valves in the bitumen service. I have a Shell DEP which says the following, Non-slam axial flow piston-type check valves are very reliable in clean service and have a low pressure drop These check valves shall not be used in fouling services due to the close tolerances of the moving parts.

I want to use them in this service. For a higher integrity reason, the process review has determined that they have valves of diffrent mechanical construction to be used in series.

we have/ are with vtb (very thick bitumen) which is a much nastier fouling version of crude

be used for crude oil service on a pump discharge. My question is in relation to the fouling properties of the service that may affect the moving parts of the valve.

Difficult to do if I don't have access to my computer...
