Celeros Flow Technology has launched a new sealing system – the CFT-Green Valve Packing System – which reduces fugitive emissions across pipelines and provides a safe and efficient sealing solution for valves
Fugitive emissions can seriously damage the environment through the release of harmful pollutants, as well as posing a health and safety risk to personnel from the risk of explosion. They could also lead to extensive costs in lost product, fines and clean-up operations.
Designed and manufactured by the M&J Valve brand of Celeros Flow Technology, the CFT-Green Valve Packing System is based on a unique stem spring-loaded seal mechanism that provides superior performance and offers outstanding reliability with minimal maintenance. It needs no packing tightness intervention during the seal’s lifetime.
The spring ensures a tight and robust seal even under extreme conditions, and helps to maintain the correct levels of compression throughout the seal’s long lifetime. This is a vast improvement compared with conventional packing, which suffers from loss of torque over time, resulting in process fluid leakage.
This next generation spring seal provides exceptional reliability over a long lifetime, as the packing materials have been carefully selected for their resistance to high temperatures and pressures as well as their ability to withstand harsh environments and corrosive fluids. A key advantage of the CFT-Green valve stem spring loaded seals is their ability to accommodate slight misalignments or deformations in the valve stem or the valve body. This can help to prevent leaks and further reduce the need for frequent maintenance or repair of the valve, ultimately improving uptime.
The CFT-Green seals are certified to ISO 15848-1 Fugitive Emissions type tests and ISO 15848-2 Fugitive Emissions production tests, as well as the API 6FA and ISO 10497 standard for valve fire test.
