How to Select the Right Globe Valve for a Catalytic Process?
When selecting a globe valve for a catalytic process, several factors should be considered: 1. Flow Requirements: Determine the required flow rate and pressure drop to select a valve with suitable flow characteristics. 2. Material Compatibility: Ensure the valve material is compatible with the reactants and operating conditions to prevent corrosion and degradation. 3. Temperature and Pressure Ratings: Choose a valve that can withstand the maximum operating temperatures and pressures of the process. 4. Actuation Method: Decide whether manual, electric, or pneumatic actuation is needed based on the level of automation required in the process.
