EroSolve Flashing | IMI Critical Engineering

Do you want a solution that can reduce valve erosion from flashing, to enhance valve safety, lifespan, and operational performance? Our custom designed EroSolve Flashing solutions can reduce the total cost of ownership by up to 40%, delivering improved flow control, and facilitating easier maintenance. Flashing is a destructive phenomenon that occurs in many industries that use steam processes. Flashing occurs when the pressure of a fluid passing through a valve is lower than the same substance’s vapour pressure. This causes the fluid to boil – otherwise known as ‘flashing’. Flashing can both ‘choke’ the valve, reducing flow capacity through it, and can damage the valve itself through severe erosion. If left unchecked, flashing will reduce the operational performance and lifespan of the valve which is why IMI Critical Engineering has created a new solution, EroSolve Flashing, to cope with flashing conditions. This solution can replace the whole valve or just the trim as needed. EroSolve Flashing solutions will reduce valve erosion and operational costs, resulting in better performance, less maintenance, and a longer valve lifespan. The EroSolve Flashing solution is available for steam valves in: Coal fired power plants Combined cycle power plants Combined heat and power plants Refineries Petrochemical plants Fertilizer plants Processing plants
