Trunnion valves offer significant advantages in various industrial applications. Their structure is highly rigid along the axis, which prevents any deviation from the seat, ensuring a reliable seal. Additionally, these valves feature self-relieving seats that maintain a consistent seal against the ball, while also accommodating temperature-induced expansions to relieve downstream pressure. The trunnion design effectively disperses lateral loads through the upper and lower bearings, reducing operating torque and minimizing part wear. This translates to a capability of withstanding higher pressures and extending operational lifespan with reduced maintenance costs. Furthermore, trunnion valves are more compact compared to gate valves and come in multiple designs, providing enhanced flexibility in selection to meet specific application requirements.

In 1993/94, an FCC catalyst fines separator system manufacturer reached out to Cornerstone for valves capable of withstanding high temperatures and abrasive conditions. The valves produced during that period have since been operating in a North American refinery without requiring any service. Consequently, additional valves were installed across various refineries in both North and South America for fines removal and catalyst recirculation systems. Impressively, none of the trunnion-mounted valves have needed servicing or replacement since their initial installation. #Refining #Sustainability #Valves #HPHT
