CHEMICAL PROCESSING
Valve applications across chemical processing plants.
See how material compatibility, containment and control requirements change from feed preparation to product recovery.
APPLICATION OVERVIEW
Four critical parts of the chemical process.
RAW MATERIAL & CHEMICAL FEED
Meter and isolate chemical feed streams.
Feed systems transfer solvents, acids, alkalis and other raw materials into the process at controlled rates.
- Storage tank outlets
- Transfer pumps
- Dosing skids
- Feed manifolds
Corrosion, crystallization and hazardous leakage can affect reliability and operator safety.
Corrosion-resistant ball, globe and check valves are matched to the chemical composition and feed function.

Compact quarter-turn tight shutoff for process and utility lines.
Dependable throttling and shutoff for process and utility service.
Compact high-pressure isolation for small-bore process lines.
REACTION & PRESSURE CONTROL
Maintain stable reactor conditions.
Reactors require accurate control of feeds, pressure, temperature and utility flows throughout the batch or continuous cycle.
- Reactor inlet
- Jacket utilities
- Pressure control
- Emergency isolation
Temperature swings, exothermic reactions and hazardous media demand repeatable control and reliable containment.
Control and globe valves regulate process variables while automated ball valves provide rapid isolation.

Metal-seated isolation for abrasive, hot or severe process media.
Forged-body regulation and shutoff for high-pressure service.
Pressure-energized non-return protection for demanding high-pressure duty.
SEPARATION & RECOVERY
Control flow through separation equipment.
Distillation, absorption, filtration and extraction systems separate products, solvents and recycle streams.
- Column feed and bottoms
- Reflux systems
- Filter isolation
- Solvent recovery
Two-phase flow, pressure drop and changing composition can cause erosion, flashing or unstable control.
Application-specific control trim and isolation valves are arranged around each separation duty.

Reduced-flow-resistance throttling for steam and high-pressure duty.
In-line maintainable isolation for critical continuous-service pipelines.
Automatic reverse-flow protection for pumps and process equipment.
PRODUCT TRANSFER & UTILITIES
Keep products and supporting utilities moving.
Finished products, steam, water, thermal oil, nitrogen and compressed air connect each unit with storage and dispatch.
- Product transfer
- Steam and condensate
- Thermal oil
- Nitrogen and plant air
Mixed services require different sealing, material and operating characteristics within the same plant.
Gate, ball, globe and check valves are assigned by isolation, regulation and non-return function.
