A few things to know about Valve Overhauling

Valves Overhauling ensures reliable performance and prevents costly downtime, leaks, and safety hazards.The frequency of valve overhaul depends on the valve type, application, operating conditions, and manufacturer's recommendations.

Valve overhaul involves several steps, such as removing the valve from the pipeline, disassembling the valve, inspecting the valve components, cleaning or replacing the parts, reassembling the valve, testing the valve for proper operation, and reinstalling the valve.

Valve overhaul requires skilled experts who have knowledge of valve design, operation, and maintenance, as well as the proper tools, equipment, and safety procedures.

Valve overhaul can improve valves' efficiency, reliability, and lifespan, reduce maintenance costs, and enhance the overall performance of industrial processes.

 

Timproxy also offers specialized valve services, including calibration, maintenance, repair, modification, and In-situ field services.

No shortcuts to safety – Top 4 reasons PPE is necessary on-site

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety of individuals in various industries. The importance of PPE lies in its ability to provide a protective barrier against workplace hazards, reducing the risk of injury.

Here are a few benefits of using PPE

1. Prevents Injuries:
PPE is an extra layer of protection when other safety measures aren't enough to reduce risks. PPE helps protect workers from physical, chemical, and electrical hazards, thereby preventing injuries.

2. Boosts Productivity:
When workers feel safe, their confidence and morale go up. This sense of security can lead to higher productivity as employees focus on their tasks without worrying about safety.

3. Promotes Safety Culture:
Using PPE creates a culture of safety in the workplace. When everyone wears the right gear, it shows that safety matters, encouraging others to do the same.

4. Saves Money on Health Costs:
PPE helps lower healthcare costs for individuals and companies by preventing injuries and illnesses. Fewer injuries mean less money spent on medical bills and workers' compensation.

 

It is essential to prioritize the health and safety of every worker, ensuring that everyone wears the appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and adheres to the guidelines while working on-site.

Stay Safe, Work smart

VALVE OVERHAUL At Egbin Power Plant Plc

We carried out a complete Valve Overhaul and Maintenance project of over 250 valves for Egbin Power PLC. We completed this project at record time with full valve functionality restored and no valve failure recorded at the point of commissioning.

We came up with custom solutions for the repair of each valve after proper inspections were carried out, some of which include:
• Lapping of seat and disc/wedge/plug
• Filling and grinding
• Fabrication of damaged parts (external and internal)
• Desludging/Decoking
• Replacement of essential components like gaskets and gland packings
• Outright replacement of Valve if found to be beyond repair (in cases like broken bonnets and cracked valve body).

The major types of valves worked on were:
• Pressure Safety Valves (PSV) / Relief Valves
• Non-return Valves (Check Valves),
• Gate Valves,
• Plug Valves and
• Globe valves.

This project was completed successfully without any recorded injury or damage to equipment, as we ensured that health hazards and risks were managed adequately through our practical health and safety management system.

At the end of the project, we gave our professional recommendations for a preventive maintenance schedule of 4 – 6 months. This prolonged the Valves' lifespan, which improved overall asset energy production.
