Celeros says this next generation spring seal provides what is “exceptional reliability over a long lifetime”, as the packing materials have been carefully selected for their resistance to high temperatures and pressures as well as their ability to withstand harsh environments and corrosive fluids. A key advantage of the CFT-Green valve stem spring loaded seals is their ability to accommodate slight misalignments or deformations in the valve stem or the valve body. This can help to prevent leaks and further reduce the need for frequent maintenance or repair of the valve, ultimately improving uptime. The CFT-Green Valve Packing System is designed and manufactured by the M&J Valve brand of Celeros Flow Technology in Houston, Texas. It is suitable for critical or frequently cycled applications as well as for valves that are not used for extended periods of time in remote and inaccessible locations. The seal is available in a range of sizes to meet the specific needs of an application. The CFT-Green is engineered to meet and exceed industry standards for fugitive emissions control and fire safety, enabling engineers to comply with regulations and reduce the risk of environmental contamination. The seals are certified to ISO 15848-1 Fugitive Emissions type tests and ISO 15848-2 Fugitive Emissions production tests, as well as the API 6FA and ISO 10497 standard for valve fire test. Sustainable actuation solutions with zero emission electro-hydraulic package A zero emission electro-hydraulic actuator solution to eliminate the carbon footprint of pipeline operations, has been launched by Automation Technology, Inc. (ATI). The zero emission electro-hydraulic package provides a comprehensive solution to lower emissions without requiring pipeline gas as the actuator’s primary power supply. Pipeline actuators have previously relied on using the gas from the pipeline as a power source, which is then emitted into the atmosphere. With ATI’s self-contained zero emission electrohydraulic solution, the power source is attached to the actuator in a compact suite. Cooper Etheridge, CEO, ATI, commented: “The zero emission electro-hydraulic package is the ideal solution for zero methane and VOC emission requirements for emergency shutdown valves. We are proud to help our customers achieve zero emissions within their operations.” Available in spring-return or double-acting configurations, the zero emission electro-hydraulic package can be mounted directly
