What are the Types of Check Valves Used in the Gas Industry?
Posted by DFT Valves on

Check valves are used in pipelines, hoses, and tubing to prevent backflow of liquids and gases. In the gas industry, this helps protect equipment from damage, reduce excessive vibration, and maintain steady production. A major use for check valves is normalizing the flow of gas during reciprocating compressor discharge in long-distance pipelines. Other natural gas… Read More
Check Valves for Oil & Gas Wells and Produced Water
Posted by DFT Valves on

With close to 1 million producing oil and natural gas wells in the United States, the industry generates approximately 60 million barrels of produced water daily. This water originates from subsurface reservoirs during the extraction process, where it mixes with oil and gas and emerges at the surface. It can also include water injected into… Read More
Natural Gas Storage
Posted by DFT Valves on

Natural gas storage and transmission systems are critical components of the energy sector. They allow companies in the industry to effectively balance natural gas production with its consumption. However, such systems are constantly exposed to the erosive flow of solid particles within natural gas that can damage the ductile metal of pipelines or valves, compromising… Read More
