StraightFlo™ Valves REDUCE POWER CONSUMTION BY 4.5%
With multiple StraightFlo™ Valves already in use, a major E&P company asks Atlas Copco to once again help improve flow and valve life in additional wellhead compressors.
The StraightFlo™ Valves average 22HP per MMscfd versus the plate valves they were using average of 23.1. The lower specific power results in a 4.5 % decrease in power consumption. StraightFlo™ Valves have long since surpassed the previous plate valve’s average life of five months and continue to operate successfully without incident 6-years later and counting.
6 YEARS LATER AND COUNTING StraightFlo™ Valves OPERATES WITHOUT INCIDENT.
