Fractionator Bottom Slurry Emergency Isolation
Heavy residual oil, together with any catalyst carryover, collects at the bottom of the fractionator and recycles back to the reactor for the catalyst to be used in the reactor. Bottom recycle is used to recover heat for feed preheat through kettle boilers and exchangers. The fluid is known as catalyst oil slurry and its control and isolation, due to its highly abrasive nature and temperature, sets high demands for valves.

The Fractionator Slurry Oil Circuit is an unforgiving process environment where existing valves tend to wear and foul quickly, causing reliability issues for refinery operators. Operators cannot afford such issues with the Emergency Isolation Valve, which quickly shuts off the flow of slurry in emergency situations.
Our new Slurry Oil Valve features a double live-loaded, ultra-tight, extended seat design; continuous static purge with anti-fouling and self-cleaning features to deliver an ultra-reliable and robust solution for the slurry circuit’s demanding operational requirements.
