A comprehensive and rapid actuator retrofit for E.ON’s German power plant, Franken 1 was completed by SIPOS Aktorik. In just four weeks, 80 pipeline valves were replaced, 120 original actuators were removed and 200 new SIPOS Flash 5 electric actuators mounted and commissioned.
For over thirty years, AUMA - manufacturer of modular electric actuators, has supplied its robust actuation technology for a range of process applications including offshore installations. A new two-layer powder coating process recently developed by AUMA has advanced device capability. Single housing parts are now coated prior to assembly: as a result, whenever housing is opened for installation, commissioning or other procedures, there is no increased risk of corrosion.
Burkert’s new AirLINE Quick offers a reliable, compact and time-saving solution for the direct mounting of Burkert’s type 8640 valve islands and AirLINE 8644 automation system into control cabinets, eliminating the need for bulkhead connections and internal piping. Manufactured in a high-quality stainless steel version, and incorporating features such integrated exhaust check valves, the AirLINE Quick adapter allows an altogether smaller design of control cabinet for hygienic process actuation in the food, beverage or pharmaceutical industries.
Bifold Group introduces their range of direct mount solenoid valves, manifold and accessories for general valve actuator applications. These valves are available in 3/2 or 5/2 5/3 port configurations.
A new range of novel cryogenic valves from Stoehr has been introduced by Boiswood. A major advantage of the patented FREES valves for vacuum jacketed pipes is that they can be installed in any position, making it possible to reduce the length of pipework required. Positioning the valves horizontally for example can allow installation in height restricted locations.
The reliability and durability of the Neles Finetrol design meet even the most stringent health and safety legislation while offering direct savings
Metso has strengthened the design of its Neles Finetrol rotary control valve to achieve ISO 15848-1 class BH fugitive emission type approval certificate in the most demanding endurance class CH-3 (100 000 mechanical cycles).
SIPOS Aktorik’s full system integration capability, including fieldbus competency, has been confirmed with its role managing the DCS commissioning of over 2,000 actuators at the Neurath power plant, BoA 2/3 in Germany. The landmark project illustrates the company’s DCS integration capabilities and strength in providing tailored customer solutions. The installation is understood to be the industry’s first actuator application to integrate PROFIBUS DP with V2 services for enhanced communication capability.
SIPOS Aktorik’s actuators played a pivotal role supporting programmable valve technology at a North Water Reclamation Facility. The new non-potable water pumping station in Erie, Colorado distributes treated water from a storage reservoir to the town’s irrigation system and to Boulder Creek in the Rocky Mountains.
AUMA has supplied the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) for over ten years. The latest installations for the company’s modular electric actuators are for two water supply pipelines – CW205, which covers 30km, and CW308.
Innovative battery-powered controller is first of its kind in the market.
Telemetry and Remote SCADA Solutions, a division of Schneider Electric, today announced the launch of the VC10 Valve Controller to its Accutech wireless sensor network product line. A battery-powered wireless field device, the VC10 is used to control pneumatic valves in hazardous locations with unique functionality that offers optimized natural gas wellhead automation solutions to operators.
