The premium line of ‘G valves’
For The API Industry
Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) industry
Typical valves consumption in the API
• More than 80% of the valves in the API are ball valves
• Up to 30% Automated
Typical Media in the API
• Raw Chemical Storage – Acids, Anhydrous, Ammonia etc.
• Solvent Storage – IPA, Acetone, Toluene, MEK, etc.
• Utilities – Instrument air, oil-less air, cooling, HVAC, general Steam, Cooling towers, etc.
API Plant classification
• EX-proof zone – flammable substance
• ATEX requirement
• Fire Safe valves to ISO 10497 and API 607
• FDA approved products
On the one side, there is a mandatory demand for fire safe certified valves in
an Ex-proof zone, which dictates graphite material as the traditional solution for
stem and body seals.
Then there is the counter mandatory demand for FDA approved materials in
contact with the media, accompanied by strict cleanliness demands for parts
used in high purity processes.
API industry - Dilemma
NCR - source of contamination
• Graphite stem seal disintegrate while cycling the valve stem.
• Valve insert crushes the graphite body seal
NCR
The Application = Post filtration
Challenge = site safety standards required Fire Safe valves, while process specifications calls for FDA approved material of construction
Graphite particles shedding found in FDA batch
