High pressure bypass valves delivered by ARCA for pipeline compressor stations

ARCA Control Valves Germany, received large orders to deliver manually and pneumatically activated high pressure bypass valves for the construction of big compressor stations in North West Europe. The valves are used as bypass valves for huge ball valves (up to 48“), that can only be activated after a certain pressure compensation between entry and exit of the ball valves. The ARCA valves enable the pressure compensation. In addition to their shut off-function they are designed as control valves with multi-stage inner trim to meet the high pressure difference from 230 bar to 0 bar when the operation is started. Miles of pipeline length are filled through the ARCA valves. For the valves extremely high demands on the material quality, the tightness (leakage V and VI) as well as the functioning prevail. Strict inspection tests according to ANSI standards have to prove the fulfilment of the asked demands in advance. Out of 100 valves not a single one has been rejected by the customer. This gives evidence of ARCA’s high quality products. Various control units for the bypass valves are installed well protected in easy to maintain switch cabinets. These cabinets are mounted directly to the valves. A complete delivery of the valves and control units facilitates for the customer the installation of his plant and is part of the ARCA service.
