Want to know the secret to accurate, reliable and efficient process control?


Start with the control valve specification. Accurate and reliable process control is key to maximising efficiency and mitigating against risks of downtime, and should be a priority for engineering and purchasing teams. Control valve specification is a fundamental part of ensuring this and is the subject of our new guide.


Authored by Darren Silverthorn, National Controls and Metering Specialist, ‘Your Guide to Increasing Your Process Productivity and Boosting Process Efficiency’ offers a new window into ensuring smarter control valve specification when it comes to performance and longevity.


What’s in the guide? In the majority of cases, challenges such as quality issues, product spoilage and control valve failure in process control are caused by incorrectly specified control valves. Challenges that can be easily overcome through correcting the control valve specification.


With that in mind, this guide helps identify what you need from your control valve in order to achieve accurate, reliable and efficient control that is best for your process. The guide also includes a tool to help you evaluate a valve’s total cost of ownership (TCO).


Looking beyond the initial cost Once you’ve got the correct specification of control valve, you then need to look beyond the control valve’s initial cost and instead look at the hidden costs throughout the control valve’s lifetime by reviewing the valve’s TCO including areas such as:


• Process Conditions • Energy Saving Capability • Maintenance Requirements • Additional Support and After Care Requirements


With this guide, we want to encourage engineers to take a proactive approach to their control systems and benefit from improved process productivity. This is the first useful step in helping you to safeguard your process, not just for today but for the future.
