Effective maintenance within plants is a critical feature of operation as it establishes safe and smooth operations. The one downside of regular plant or factory maintenance is the cost. Since most factories and plants have to completely shut down operations for a few hours or days during maintenance, they often rush through them.
As a result of a rush job, some applications aren’t properly maintained and can cause costly problems in the future. With that said, there are certain components that a plant or a factory uses to perform partial maintenance, where they shut off certain parts of operation but keep the rest running. One of these components is the integral double block and bleed valve. Read on to learn more about the importance of double block and bleed valves in factory and plant maintenance.
Safe Flow Control
Integral double block and bleed valves are a vital part of many processes in several industries as they provide leak-free flow control and isolation. Double block and bleed valves are designed to withstand extreme temperatures and pressure ratings to ensure safe and smooth operation.
Leak-Free Isolation
Double block and bleed valves are commonly used in plants and factories to isolate the upstream fluid before slipping a blind off the downstream fluid. The bleed system in these valves can either be globe, ball or gate valves that allow for fewer leak paths. Double block and bleed valves are also used to prevent product contamination when essential equipment needs to be removed for cleaning or repairs.
