Large project orders show Rotork's extensive flow control abilities

摘要

The Freeport LNG project in Texas is a major undertaking that is transforming an import terminal into a natural gas liquefaction and liquefied natural gas export facility that will be the largest in the USA. Rotork is supplying several hundred pneumatic actuators on the project for valves in sizes up to 1,730 mm (68"). The largest of these require the direct mounting of GP-350 spring-return actuators measuring 5.8 metres in length and weighing 9 tonnes. The pneumatic actuators were manufactured in Lucca and shipped to Houston, where the packaged control panels were designed and manufactured using Rotork branded products. These included Soldo switchboxes, YTC and Fairchild boosters and Midland-ACS filter regulators and pilot valves. Most of the applications are in aggressive and challenging environments demanding corrosion resistant, proven and reliable product solutions that can be configured to suit diverse requirements including fire-proofing.
