IMI has won the contract to supply an innovative package of transfer line and decoke valves for the world’s first net-zero carbon emissions ethylene cracker, located in Canada.
Consisting of 15 36” IMI Z&J double disc through conduit (DDTC) gate valves, the package is notable for integrating the company’s patented erosion protection device, the IMI Z&J Beluga Hump, into each component’s decoke valve inlet nozzle. This solves a potential erosion issue affecting transfer line and decoking valves, which need to operate without error in the extremely hazardous environment inside the ethylene unit.
