Dresser Valve Division has announced the Masoneilan SVI II (Smart Valve Interface) digital valve positioner and PID process controller.
The equipment includes pumps, pipework, (Dresser EFC-actuated) valves, a PLC system with interactive monitor, flowmeter, liquid storage tanks, filter pre-coat dosing equipment and compressed air blower for cleaning.
Designed as a research tool to evaluate fluids filtering across a wide temperature and pH range, there is a central requirement to resist corrosion both internally and externally.
The rig's vessels and pumps are 316L stainless steel with other equipment variously in polypropylene, PVC, PVDF, PTFE, special alloys and titanium.
The Dresser EFC actuators, which are made from glass-filled epoxy resin, are resistant to most chemicals, including acid and alkalis.
They are part of an extensive range of composite actuators and valves marketed by Dresser Flow Control.
The Larox OYJ test rig has been widely used in the USA.
