I am installing a new stainless steel weir plate on our plant outfall flowing into one of the bayous at a gulf coast petrochemical plant in Houston area. I was reading in a similar thread where the writer cautioned the readers of using epoxy anchor systems under water due to shrinkage...
Thanks to everyone for showing your interest in the subject. Please note, these valves are NOT going to be control valves and they will not modulate at all. They will be strictly automatic actuated on/off valves. Talking to folks at FS Elliott and IR and looking at their skids, butterfly valves...
