PETROLEUM INDUSTRY
Valve applications from production to finished products.
Explore how Vornet valve categories support crude handling, refining processes, storage and product transfer.
APPLICATION OVERVIEW
Four critical parts of the petroleum process.
PRODUCTION & GATHERING
Control crude flow from the well site.
Production and gathering systems route multiphase fluids from wellheads through separation and collection facilities.
- Wellhead flowlines
- Gathering manifolds
- Test separators
- Water injection
Variable pressure, sand, water and sour components can affect sealing and material performance.
Full-bore isolation, suitable trim and project-specified pressure control support reliable field operation.

Full-bore high-pressure isolation for wellhead and production lines.
Pressure and flow control for demanding wellhead production service.
High-pressure quarter-turn isolation for wellhead and production service.
CRUDE DISTILLATION & REFINING
Isolate and regulate refinery process units.
Crude, vacuum, conversion and treating units separate and upgrade hydrocarbons under continuous operation.
- Crude distillation
- Vacuum unit
- Hydrotreating
- Catalytic conversion
High temperature, hydrogen service and changing hydrocarbon composition require duty-specific valve construction.
Gate valves isolate process lines, globe and control valves regulate flow, and check valves protect equipment.

Compact forged isolation for high-pressure process and utility lines.
Dependable throttling and shutoff for process and utility service.
Metal-seated isolation for abrasive, hot or severe process media.
TANK FARM & STORAGE
Route products safely between storage assets.
Tank farms receive, store, blend and dispatch crude oil, intermediate streams and refined products.
- Tank inlet and outlet
- Manifold routing
- Recirculation lines
- Drain and water draw-off
Long static periods and frequent routing changes demand dependable shutoff and clear line isolation.
Ball and gate valves provide low-leakage isolation, with check valves preventing unintended reverse transfer.

Extended-stem operation for buried or otherwise inaccessible pipelines.
Compact quarter-turn tight shutoff for process and utility lines.
Compact flow diversion between process, bypass and transfer branches.
LOADING & PRODUCT TRANSFER
Manage high-volume terminal transfer.
Marine, rail and truck terminals transfer petroleum products through metering, loading arms and transfer pumps.
- Transfer pump discharge
- Loading arms
- Metering skids
- Emergency shutdown
Fast shutdown, surge risk and product containment are critical during loading and unloading.
Automated ball valves, check valves and control valves coordinate isolation, flow and equipment protection.

In-line maintainable isolation for critical continuous-service pipelines.
Compact double-block-and-bleed isolation for critical process lines.
Automatic reverse-flow protection for pumps and process equipment.
