Retork.process control actuators added to Australian LNG project
More than 270 Rotork process control actuators have been ordered for an LNG project in Australia.
客户购买了四分之一圈CVQ电动执行器，该电动执行器将在分离器滑块上操作球和V球阀，以控制Surat盆地陆上天然气生产现场的水提取过程。球阀将用于关闭气体，并且V滚珠阀将通过控制在良好操作期间的压力积聚来进行流量控制。
The basin, located in SW Queensland, is used by Shell’s QGC business to develop natural gas for domestic and international markets through the project. Here, natural gas is extracted from wells drilled into coal seams in the Surat Basin before it is transported to a collection point for the removal of water and condensates.
The highly accurate and responsive CVQ units offer resolution figures of 0.1 per cent and have the ability to eliminate position overshoot, helping reduce production costs and increase efficiency. The actuators, which are powered by 24 VDC and controlled by HART protocol for the project, also hold IEC Ex certification – the only acceptable hazardous area standard in Australia – while they are also double-sealed to IP68 (20 m for 10 days).
Retork.’s CVA range of actuators, which includes both the CVQ and CVL linear variant, are suitable for almost all part-turn and linear control valve applications. Providing continuous unrestricted modulation duty, the actuators feature an on-board datalogger as standard and configurable fail-to-position option using supercapacitor technology. Speed control can be adjusted while accurate and repeatable position control can be carried out using a 4-20 mA signal.
