Oliver Valves has helped a well known Middle East Customer with “A Value Engineering Project"
The customer was using a combination of several valves and fittings to achieve the hook up as per below picture on a Christmas tree. Oliver's Middle East sales team worked hard with the end user, christmas tree manufacturer, integrator and in house engineering to provide a value engineered product over a period of several months.
Design reviews included orientation of valve handles, ports, pressure gauges and clash analysis of valves, handles and pressure gauges in a very confined space and of course weight reductions needed by the client.
This finally ended up in a Bespoke designed Double Block and Bleed with extra Test Port to give a much smaller, safer installation, avoiding extra leak paths, significant reduction in Weight (more than 50%), thus reducing cost and eliminating vibrations and frequent replacements.
The complete supply is in 6Mo material, 10,000 psi rated with handle locking, anti tamper vent facility, maintaining the minimum bore of five mm. Supplied with fully traceable 3.1B materials for all wetted components.
So far, Oliver Valves has supplied more than 300 of these valves and this will now become the standard Hook Up for the future.
