Staro Process Control: Your Partner in Valve Solutions
At Staro Process Control, we pride ourselves on providing tailored engineering solutions that solve complex industrial challenges. One of our recent success stories showcases the powerful performance of the NSV Segmented Ball Valve, implemented for a client in the coal mining industry.
The Problem: Water Hammer in a 10-Inch Pipeline
Our client faced persistent operational issues caused by severe water hammering in a 10-inch water pipeline. Their system relied on a standard butterfly valve to control water flow at the end of the line. However, this valve type couldn’t absorb or regulate sudden flow changes effectively—leading to:
-
Pipe leakages and bursts
-
Frequent breakdowns
-
Excessive maintenance costs
-
Prolonged system downtime
The Solution: NSV Segmented Ball Valve
To eliminate the root cause of these issues, we recommended and installed the NSV Segmented Ball Valve—a highly reliable control valve designed to reduce pressure surges through:
-
Precision flow control
-
A soft-closing mechanism to mitigate sudden stops
-
High capacity and sealing efficiency
-
Self-cleaning functionality to prevent buildup
This upgrade significantly minimized water hammer effects, boosting the overall efficiency and uptime of the system.
The Results: Reliability and Reduced Downtime
By replacing the butterfly valve with the NSV Segmented Ball Valve, our client now benefits from:
-
Stable pressure control
-
Extended pipe lifespan
-
Fewer system failures and emergency repairs
-
Improved operational performance
-
Lower maintenance costs
