Valves for Refining

Catalyst particulates and harsh solids are


easily handled by MOGAS Valves. This valve
was checked as part of a routine maintenance
program and then was put back into service.

This large bore 24-inch metal seated ball


valve was one of several chosen for a tar
sands upgrade project. Ability to meet the
stringent deadline was crucial to the success
of the start-up.

Located at the top of a major refinery, these MOGAS valves were chosen
for their performance and low maintenance. Due to their location,
reliability was a critical part of the installation decision.

MOGAS — Your Partner in the Process
Proven Reliability. Engineering Expertise. Dependable Service.

The refining industry has undergone many changes, from the methods of processing to the length of time that they operate
their process units. These changes, along with the emergence of low sulfur fuel specifications, the requirement to process
lower grade crude and the need to convert more bottom-of-the-barrel residuals, has put an extreme demand on isolation
and control valves. Unreliable and unpredictable valves in emergency situations can cause enormous monetary losses and
have devastating consequences for personnel. MOGAS has responded to these challenges by developing a combination of
diverse trim configurations and high quality coatings for use in high temperature, high pressure, erosive, corrosive, viscous
and coking / asphaltene applications.

Distillation
Atmospheric Distillation

In atmospheric distillation, the pipe still process takes the raw desalted crude
and heats it up in the crude furnace until it is partially vaporized. This allows for
the separation process to begin in the crude tower where several side streams
are taken off at different boiling points.

As a leading provider of critical service valves, MOGAS has worked with several
oil companies to create a reliable emergency bottoms isolation system. In a fire-
related emergency, this system isolates the tower and strippers—and the highly
flammable product they contain—from the source of the fire.
Optional body and seat purge ports can be
added to assist with removing coke.
One harmful characteristic of this
process is heavy media build-up.

Vacuum Distillation

The vacuum flasher provides a separation of atmospheric crude tower residue


to produce heavy, medium and light vacuum gas oil and non-distillable products
such as vacuum residue.

A refinery fire is always a dangerous event, but a fire that reaches the large
amounts of crude contained in the main tower and related side strippers can
quickly go from dangerous to catastrophic.

As a leading provider of critical service valves, MOGAS has worked with several
oil companies to create a reliable emergency bottoms isolation system. In a fire-
related emergency, this system isolates the tower and strippers—and the highly
flammable product they contain—from the rest of the refinery.

Reforming
Continuous Catalytic Reforming (CCR)

The CCR process is primarily used in the refinery to improve the research
octane number (RON) of the motor gasoline pool. It can also be configured
for the production of aromatics for a petrochemical complex. A catalytic
dehydrogenation reaction converts paraffins into iso-paraffins and naphthenes
into aromatics. Hydrogen is a byproduct produced within this process and is
utilized in other parts of the refinery.

The leading licensor of this process has over 600 units installed globally. This
licensor has specified MOGAS isolation valves in its Schedule A specification
package. This process package has evolved from a semi-regenerative to a
continuous process, thus increasing the performance demands placed on the
catalyst movement valves.

MOGAS has developed spray coatings that can cycle up to 50,000 times with
no degradation in shutoff performance, which led to MOGAS being the preferred
choice of the leading licensor of this process.

MOGAS has also developed a spring-loaded packing design to eliminate


potential problem fires caused by hydrogen leakage within the process
operating unit.

Typical operating conditions are:


• High temperature
(300 – 600° F / 149 – 320° C)
Installed between the lockhopper and lift • High cycle
engager at a major southwest refinery, these
3-inch ASME 300 class metal seated isolation
• High pressure / temperature hydrogen

These valves replaced another manufacturer’s

• High pressure / temperature catalyst handling
MOGAS valves have been operating for over
eight months.

Designed for Dependable Stem Performance


• All CCR application stems are made of A638 Gr. 660 and work in unison with
the inner bearing
• Rigid mounting bracket and stem bushing designed to handle high cycling
• Stem and bushing support eliminates radial stem movement and packing
deformation caused by side loading of the stem by an actuator
• Two piece inner stem seals function as a pressure energized seal and bearing
preventing catalyst from entering the packing box
• Stem alignment protects packing box, keeping solids out — extending cycle
life of the valve
• All stem packing gland followers are live-loaded to ensure packing is
constantly energized after both thermal and mechanical cycling

Catalyst Handling Valves
Effectively Managing Catalyst
The FCC unit regenerator / reactor circulates catalyst and regenerates for reuse
in the reactor. This cycle continues until the catalyst is spent. Once the catalyst
is spent, it must be removed from the process, so that fresh catalyst can be
introduced to the unit. Isolation valves in the spent catalyst line allow for removal
of this catalyst.

These valves must perform two critical functions during the operation of the
unit: leak-free isolation of the spent catalyst line and control of the spent

catalyst from the regenerator.
and equipment. Leaking isolation valves can cause waste of unspent catalyst
affecting the performance of the unit and overheat the downstream piping and
equipment resulting in failure of the piping system. Inoperable valves cause spent
catalyst levels to build in the regenerator, resulting in entrained catalyst in the flue
gas system. This can cause the FCC unit to exceed mandatory EPA particulate
emissions, resulting in enormous monetary fines to the refinery.

This CA-DRI 8-inch ASME 300 class valve has


been handling catalyst at 1425° F / 774° C for
numerous years. It is the major isolation valve
between the third stage and fourth stage
cyclone separator.

Equipment Repairability and Emergency Shutdown
Run time is absolutely critical to these high-profit units. To avoid shutdown
during the cleaning and repair of equipment, due to severe coke build-up,
operators must be able to perform this function while the unit is online. The
equipment used to control the fractionation tower performance has been
engineered with redundancy specifically in the bottoms circuit of the tower
where pumps, strainers and heat exchangers require frequent maintenance.

The automated isolation valves between the tower and this redundant equipment

during the repair or cleaning of this redundant equipment. Secondly, during a fire
situation the valve must close quickly and isolate to prevent the inventory from
becoming a fire source. If this inventory is not contained a volatile situation can
turn into a catastrophe quickly causing millions of dollars worth of damage to
the operating unit.

Hydroprocessing
Fixed Bed Hydrotreating

High pressures and temperatures are required to break the sulfur and nitrogen molecular bonds which
occur in residual, gas oil and diesel streams. In heavy metal crude processing refineries, a guard
reactor system is typically put in place to prevent poisoning of the hydrotreating catalyst. The catalyst
in the guard reactor has to frequently be removed due to collection of heavy metals on the catalyst.

Delayed Coking

Coking is a batch process that requires frequent operation of the isolation valve
system during the coke drum switching operation.

MOGAS’ simple floating ball design provides trouble-free operation in this heavy

tolerance areas for coke to build-up and cause torque to increase significantly

Deasphalting

Deasphalting is the process of removing asphalt, metals and sulphur from


petroleum fractions. Removing asphaltenes prevents coke build-up on catalyst
in downstream unit processing. It produces asphalt (asphaltenes, hard and soft
resins) and deasphalted oil (DAO) as final products. This refining process can
be considered a carbon rejection process, since asphaltenes that are removed
have relatively low hydrogen-to-carbon (H:C) ratios. Since asphaltene yields
increase as operating temperatures increase, deasphalting is a severe service
that requires rugged valve designs and engineered coatings.

The MOGAS C-Series full-ported valve


design can be used in all asphaltene
and deasphalted oil services with
100 percent reliability. In applications FEED
