Kates Flow Regulators Applications

 

Mechanical Pump Seals

Many API or ANSI plans for mechanical pump seals require flow control and call out a flow control valve or a flow orifice. If flow varies with pressure fluctuations, fluid is either wasted or the system is starved which can overheat the seals and cause premature failure.

Assembly Line Filling Stations

The world of automation is growing at an exponential rate. Filling stations now run un-manned and must deliver the exact same volume of fluid. In many cases, the supply line pressures can vary dramatically due to production demands. An increase in pressure can cause overfill situation – a decrease in pressure may cause an underfill. Neither is acceptable.

English Muffins

The "Sponge Quality" of the English Muffin is dependent upon an accurate blend of water to the flour, nutrients, and yeast slurry. Both the appearance of the muffin on the exterior - as well as the interior texture are selling features and are very important factors in customer loyalty. Precise water flow control is necessary to ensure appearance, color and taste.

Heat Exchanger Systems

Heat exchangers are an efficient method of transferring heat from one matter to another. Heating or Cooling fluids are passed through a tubing coil, plate & frames, or radiators to maximize the surface area of the heating element in contact with the process media.

Instrument Purge

Instrument Purge is critical in any system where fluid measurements are required, but direct contact between the fluid and instrument is not acceptable. The instrument is piped into an auxiliary line, connecting into the main line where the measurement must be taken.

Sour Gas Desulphurization

Crude oil contains Sulphur which during the refining process contaminates the various products. Crude oil refining requires the removal of Sulphur which is critical to producing valuable hydrocarbons that meet specifications.

Hydrogen Manufacturing Units

Hydrocrackers require large volumes of Hydrogen Gas for the cracking process to produce the various hydrocarbon chains. Hydrogen manufacturing units are integral to the refining process for the production of quench gas and purge gas.

Nitrogen Membrane Systems

Membrane technology with nitrogen generators uses compressed air forced through a polymeric hollow fiber to selectively permeate oxygen, water vapor, and other impurities out of its side walls while allowing nitrogen to flow through its center and emerge as high purity N2 gas.
