Rotork, a global actuator manufacturer and flow control company with multiple US locations, has assisted the new Ashgabat International Airport in Turkmenistan with its valve actuation technology.
The airport is supported by fuel supply facilities including a tank farm of 43 storage tanks with individual capacities up to 3,000 m³. Vital flow control throughout the tank farm is provided by Rotork IQ3 intelligent valve actuation technology, with a total of 120 electric IQ multi-turn and IQT part-turn actuators operating ball, butterfly and gate valves in the plant.
Meeting important asset management requirements, the Rotork Profibus DP card provides comprehensive control and feedback data about the valve and actuator using DP-V0 cyclic communications.
