ESTRANGULADOR POSITIVO

With the continuously improving production techniques and unusual drilling environments, the demands on choke valves have increased. Extreme operating conditions are becoming more usual, with more erosive or corrosive elements and higher pressure cuts. Low Life Cycle Cost is mandatory for profitable field development, which means safety, reliability, high availability and low downtime. The Mokveld choke valves have proven to meet all these nowadays demands.

Further benefits of the Mokveld Choke Valve are: low noise the cage trim results in low noise levels in gas applications, and reduced downsteam flashing and flowing velocities in oil production applications. complete piston guidance The piston is guided over the full stroke, while all sealing areas and seal running surfaces are remote from the throttling area. The hard material cage limits erosion to a minimum, and secured at both ends to avoid risk of vibration and the damage it causes. pressure balancing The trim parts are pressure balanced through internal channels, resulting in low operating forces. As a result, actuators are small and light without the use of gear boxes, and allow accurate positioning. high rangeability The design of the internals allow controlling down to very low capacities. The high overall capacity gives the choke a very wide operating range, also widely covering the depletion phase of production fields in future years. safe, light, one-piece body

The valve body is a single integral cast piece, resulting in a light construction. Further, potential leak paths are reduced by the absence of construction welds. reliability through controlled erosion the cage trim holes are uniformly divided over the full circumference, ensuring symmetrically distributed flow. Consequently, the flow jet energy is dissipated in the centre of the valve, within the fluid itself and not a choke component. Preferential flow, the major cause of hazardous body erosion, is fully avoided.
