Isolate and Protect in Hydrogen Dispensing Maintenance Operations
Jim Cahill
Double block and bleed valves enable maintenance on a section of process piping. They allow plant staff to block off and depressurize the section that requires maintenance. They consist of two block valves and one bleed valve. One of the valves blocks the upstream fluid from flowing. The bleed valve relieves the pressure from the downstream side to enable work to be performed. I share this as background for what is…

High-Capacity Direct-Operated Pressure Regulator
Jim Cahill
Pressure regulators help manage pressure through industrial processes. Direct-operated pressure regulators respond to changes in the pressure downstream and adjust the flow rate to maintain the desired pressure. Emerson’s Darren Mann shared a quick 2:21 YouTube video with me, Fisher 627BM High-Capacity Direct-Operated Pressure Regulator . The video highlights this addition to the Fisher 627-product family .

What are Bellows in Pressure Relief Valves?
Jim Cahill
We’ve had a couple of recent posts about pressure relief valves (PSVs), including Improving Pressure Relief Valve Safety, Reliability and Performance , and Accurately Monitoring Pressure Relief Events. In them was some discussion about conventional PSVs and ones with bellows. I wanted to learn more, so I found this great explainer video on YouTube.

Identifying and Minimizing Fugitive Emissions from Control Valves
Jim Cahill
Control Valves would control ideally the process without any interface to the outside. Although, that’s not practical with today’s technology. Control valves are by design an interface between the process and the outside. This interface can cause some level of fugitive emissions, which are unintentional leaks from the process. Now whether the leak is below 3 ppm, which is essentially negligible, or over 500 ppm, which…
