Keeping your plant running and performing at its peak is a challenging job, especially when valves are not performing as they should. Valves experiencing erosion, flashing, cavitation, noise, and vibration very often lead to leakage, which ultimately impacts plant performance negatively and results in low reliability. These problems can lead to constant, unplanned maintenance, or a replacement of the full valve.
Replacing failing valves with completely new valves can yield greater performance and reliability, but it’s rarely practical, fast enough, or cost-effective. Installing a new valve is complicated and expensive, requiring detailed engineering, pipework, time-consuming approvals, and long manufacturing lead times. This often requires the plant to endure the operational impact until a major outage is scheduled so the equipment can be delivered and installed.
A Retrofit3D engineered trim installation takes just hours instead of days, allowing it to be installed during a two-day maintenance outage. Our certified technicians can support installation as necessary, although our trim requires no onsite valve modification as a result of IMI’s precise engineering and state-of-the-art manufacturing processes, which allows the plant to get back online in time and within – or below – budget.
Through additive manufacturing, our solutions are using less material, reducing waste, and optimizing our supply chain. This reduces our carbon footprint, and make the world a better place.
