Hydroservice has been involved in the design, engineering, fabrication, assembly, inspection for the Hydraulic Power Units to operate On/Off ball valve spring return electro-hydraulic actuator. The HPU skids were equipped with Local Control Panel for operation and control of the systems.
We oversee every project from start to finish—from defining requirements to commissioning—developing tailored solutions that combine efficiency, reliability, and energy savings.
The criticality of the application was related to material selection. All the component are painted stainless steel SS316 due to harsh environment conditions and stringent project specifications. The space constraints for the HPU installation was another driver to design compact and easy maintainable units. The equipment has the main scope to allow the emergency shut down of the valves installed in the oil lines. Considering the criticality of the application, the customer has scheduled periodic maintenance activities.
On the basis of the site layout Hydroservice co-designed the HPU with the customer/end-user to avoid any interference with other process equipment.
The equipment selection and hydraulic circuit design allow the operation of the On/Off valves to be operated and the possibility execute Partial Stroke Tests to check the operability of the valves during normal operation.
The supply has flatly satisfied the customer's expectations, which has been able to resolve the critical issues related to the application, allowing it to function properly.
