Pulse-dampening check valves, or PDC® valves, are designed for installation on the discharge side of a gas or air reciprocating compressor and feature a pulse-dampening chamber. With this pulse-dampened design, during the momentary pressure and flow increases and reductions that occur with a reciprocating compressor’s cycles, the PDC® valve’s disc remains in the open position,… Read More

Following our webinar, “Check Valve Applications for LNG Service,” we’re sharing some of the questions from the audience along with our answers. In the webinar, we covered the fundamentals of LNG processes and the specific check valves used in liquefaction, storage, and transportation. We also discussed optimal valve placement and the importance of proper valve… Read More

Hosted by: GlobalSpec Date: September 18, 2024 Time: 10:00 AM EDT (7:00 AM PDT / 4:00 PM CEST) REGISTER HERE As the demand for Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) continues to rise, understanding the infrastructure behind this vital energy resource is critical for engineers and… Read More

As economic growth rises, so does the demand for natural gas. The infrastructure for natural gas in power plants should keep up with the unique challenges posed by power production and distribution. For instance, the need for gas compression and metering facilities in the Utica and Marcellus Shale regions has increased dramatically in the last… Read More

DFT® manufactures check valves for many applications, including severe service applications. Typically, when engineers think of severe service, they think of high temperatures and/or high pressures.  However, severe service applications also include high cycling applications. We are going to explore two high cycling applications, including the challenges and DFT®’s severe service valve solutions. Digester Service… Read More
