Assured Automation has launched their new thermally activated Emergency Shutdown Valves (ESDs). These valves are critical components in refinery, terminal and distribution safety systems. The thermal activated shutoffs work like fuses in the piping that carries extracted fuels. When a fire occurs, the fuel flow is shut down, which ultimately prevents the fuel from feeding the fire.
The company’s thermally activated ESDs include: a fire-safe ball valve, a spring return pneumatic valve actuator, a FireChek® heat activated pneumatic shutoff valve, a solenoid valve, a manual override (which is optional).
