Their safe and sustained operation plays a vital role in strategies to maximise plant uptime and production levels. It follows that valves deployed in compressor anti-surge and bypass applications need to meet the highest standards of performance and reliability. The rise of LNG megaprojects is compounding these challenges. Severn Glocon recently encountered an extr
