Oceaneering International’s Rotator business has launched a new high-performance Topside Chemical Throttle Valve (T-CTV) for multiple industries for oil and gas and other industrial markets. The T-CTV is designed to leverage existing field-proven technology to address operational requirements for efficient topside chemical dosing.
The company says that the T-CTV provides a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution for both greenfield and brownfield projects. The T-CTV is also ideal for unmanned and remotely operated applications across industries and can be configured with optional Wi-Fi capabilities. The valve is also reportedly the industry’s only design that combines a full-flush position with an integrated mechanical scraper. This feature is designed to ensure superior contamination tolerance and deliver long-term performance without the need for filters. The increased accuracy of the valve results in less chemical waste, Oceaneering says.
The T-CTV control system uses continuous, live feedback from its Coriolis flow meter to automatically regulate and continuously display flow rates. The valve’s helical flow path is designed to provide stable, controlled flow throughout the entire operating range. A fully programmable deadband is set to further optimize flow performance. Oceaneering says that the enhanced accuracy and reliability of the T-CTV will ultimately reduce opex via lowered chemical costs and improved uptime.
