Endurance test for knife gate valves
The oldest oil deposits that are being extracted today were formed around 500 million years ago. The youngest are nevertheless already several thousand years old. The enormously long formation period makes it clear once again that oil is a finite resource for which alternatives must be found. However, we still depend on this raw material in many areas.
In the refineries where the oil is cleaned and processed, our valves are not only subject to heavy wear and tear from the media in the passage. The external environment also often places high demands on all equipment. In the case of these two knife gate valves VN, which are installed in a Czech oil refinery, the effects are clearly visible.
