Whether you carry out your own control valve maintenance or use a third party, the design of a control valve will influence your strategy and budget.
To stay one step-ahead of unexpected maintenance challenges, consider the following vital areas:
Materials: You can help yourself by asking whether the materials have been chosen with the process conditions in mind.
Can it be maintained?: On the surface of it a control valve may be advertised as maintainable. In reality, however, this is not always the case.
Ease of maintenance: This key point can significantly impact process downtime and the quality of the control valve after it has been maintained. You may also take the decision to carry out maintenance in-house or use a third party, dependent on the ease of maintenance.
