Chemical Storage Isolation

CHALLENGE

A global specialty chemicals company was experiencing significant time and expense to biannual shutdowns by having to remove valve actuators and installing lockable hand levers each outage.

SOLUTION

Actuators with Top Mounted Lock Out (TMLO) option allows the automated valves to be locked in the open or closed position in just seconds to ensure all workers are out of harm’s way during maintenance shutdowns.

RESULTS

Customer retrofitted 16 storage tanks with TMLO devices ensuring safety, reducing downtime, and minimizing maintenance costs.
