Plug valves

OmniSeal® expanding plug valves are ideal for applications that require positive shut-off, verifiable zero leakage and double block and bleed (DB&B) and or double isolation and bleed (DIB) capability. Some of the more common applications include:

Blending units

Accurate blending of ethanol or other regional fuel grades requires valves with exceptionally high seal integrity to ensure accurate measurement of additives and blending stocks. The OmniSeal® DB&B is specifically designed for these type of applications.

Product Isolation

Secure isolation of biofuels or other process-sensitive fluids is critical for environmental and process safety. The OmniSeal® DB&B’s verifiable zero leakage and positive shutoff capabilities make it an ideal solution for isolation and process-sensitive applications.

Multi-product manifolds

Pipeline, refinery and transfer manifolds need to flow multiple products (e.g. diesel, jet fuel, gasoline, blending stocks, etc.) reliably and without contamination. The OmniSeal® DB&B is an effective tool for preventing product cross-contamination.

Prover Loops

Proper calibration of flow meters requires that every valve in the prover loop system must have a zero leak rate. Any leak could mean an error in calibration. OmniSeal® DB&B valves are used to ensure leak tight closure and accurate calibration.

Custody Transfer Units

Transfer of valuable media relies on accurate measurement of product transfer quantity. The OmniSeal® DB&B provides positive shutoff and zero leak rate, thereby ensuring the accuracy of transfer quantity calculations.

Offshore Platforms

Valve leakage on an offshore platform can result in damage to equipment and the environment. The OmniSeal® DB&B has excellent low pressure positive shutoff characteristics and is a great choice for use on offshore platforms.

Terminals

Terminals used for loading and unloading tankers require valves with positive sealing in order to prevent environmental damage due to spillage. The OmniSeal® DB&B provides positive sealing and zero leak rate in a reliable single valve solution.

Tank Farms (Oil Depots)

Tank isolation valves, which are operated frequently, require zero leak rate and a high degree of reliability. The OmniSeal® DB&B valve provides a reliable, high integrity seal designed for frequent and long-term use.

Aviation Fueling Systems

Airport fueling systems require valves that close quickly and have verifiable seal integrity. This allows for quick maintenance, repair, leak location and testing. The OmniSeal® DB&B valve’s verifiable zero leak rate ensures that maintenance, repair, leak location and hydrant testing can be done safely and quickly. Omniseal® DB&B expanding plug valves have been determined to be a “Product of the USA “ by the US Customs and Border Protection Agency (CBP). This applies to both commercial and US government or military procurement.
