Valve control technology T
he Indian arm of the AUMA actuator group reports growth of the company’s modular actuation solutions in the oil sector. The latest contract for AUMA’s
valve control technology has been placed by the Indian Oil Corporation Limited for a Naphtha Cracker and Polymer complex. The Naphtha Cracker project is reported as the cornerstone for Indian Oil’s
entry into petrochemicals and represents a new market for business growth for the corporation. Located in the Northern Indian state of Haryana, the installation is an excellent illustration of AUMA working in partnership with the customer to supply a comprehensive solution incorporating hard wiring and bus technology backed by master station support. The installation, which
confirms the company’s expertise in supplying the petrochemical industry, required 75 actuators at the Cracker complex - which has a capacity of 800,000 MT/year of ethylene production. All actuators have been

A time and cost saving flared flange for big tubes
T
he F37 Parflange flared programme is an alternative to
conventional welding of tubes with large outside diameters from 16mm to 190mm and 420bar. With the reduction to just a few operations, flange assembly saves time and costs compared with welding. The basis for this product
extension is Parflange technology. The Parflange process produces a high- strength flared connection with smoothed surface at the tube end. The required flaring machine is also a part of the product range. During assembly, a tube insert is introduced into the flared tube end. Equipped with soft searl, it closes the possible leak paths not only on the flange side but also on the tube. The flange side F37 seal features a high shape stability and extrusion strength. The flange connectors are supplied with Cr(VI) free surfaces or stainless steel and comply with ISO 6162-1/-2 and ISO 6164 dimensions and footprints.
