Valve selection for butumen storage facility
Valve selection for butumen storage facility
(OP)
Hello,
I am currently working on a bitumen storage facility in Algeria, North Africa, the client has specified that both inlet and outlet lines of the bitumen storage tanks must be "Butterfly", but did not give any specification for the rest of the piping work (such as the line between pumps an storage tanks, loading station and pumps...), my question is as follows:
-What type of valves should be used in bitumen piping (gate valve, butterfly valves, ball valves...)
I should mention that all piping are oil-heated in order to maintain a certain viscosity for the bitumen to keep it flowing through the process lines.
looking forward to your responses

But these were only used for critical emergency safety related shutdown service only. Else they were all plain gates.
