Oxford Flow’s groundbreaking ES stemless actuated valves brings a game-changing solution to the oil and gas industry, pioneering a method to prevent fugitive methane emissions. The genius of this technology lies in its simplicity. By significantly reducing active components and eliminating the stem and mechanical drive train, all leakage pathways to the atmosphere have effectively been removed.
The ES axial flow valve, with its integrated hydraulic piston exceeds industry standards. Its unique design eliminates fugitive emissions and provides operators with a valve package that is half the size and weight of conventional valves. This translates into substantial savings on maintenance costs.
Despite spending millions annually on integrity inspections and preventative maintenance plans, operators often find these efforts inadequate in preventing fugitive emissions. The ES axial flow valve’s innovative design dramatically benefits operations with numerous critical control valves and operators with aging assets. This design substantially reduces the need for continuous maintenance.
By opting for the ES valve over traditional ones, operators can divert valuable resources from tracking fugitive emissions from a significant portion of their valves. Furthermore, the demand for extensive maintenance procedures decreases as drivetrain-related failures are eliminated and stem repacking maintenance becomes obsolete. This can lead to a 20-30% reduction in ownership costs and double the mechanical lifespan of the valve.
