Atlas SSCV for Petrochemicals & Fracking
Control valve engineered for hydrocarbon refining and high-pressure fracking operations. Eliminates cavitation in extreme pressure drop service.
Challenges in Petrochemical & Fracking Operations
Refining and fracking applications subject control valves to conditions that accelerate every known failure mode.
Hydrocarbon Refining
Hydrocracker letdown, reactor feed control, and distillation column service involve extreme pressure drops with corrosive hydrocarbons that destroy conventional valve trim.
High-Pressure Fracking
Hydraulic fracturing operations require control valves that withstand massive pressure differentials and abrasive proppant-laden fluids without degradation.
Process Reliability
Unplanned valve failures in petrochemical processes trigger costly shutdowns, environmental incidents, and production losses measured in millions per day.
How the Atlas SSCV Delivers in Petrochemicals
The Atlas SSCV was specifically designed for the kind of extreme conditions that petrochemical and fracking operations demand. Its axisymmetric flow path eliminates the root cause of cavitation failure.
Cavitation-Free at Extreme Pressure Drops
The patented 360-degree flow path distributes pressure energy uniformly, preventing the asymmetric cavitation that destroys conventional valves in hydrocracker service.
Up to 700:1 control range for Precision Control
A single Atlas valve handles the full operating range of reactor feed and letdown service—eliminating the need for multiple valves or complex bypass configurations.
Chemical-Resistant Materials
Available in Stainless Steel, Duplex, Alloy 20, and Hastelloy to handle the full spectrum of petrochemical media including acids, caustics, and hydrocarbons.
Engineered for the Harshest Conditions
In petrochemical service, the Atlas SSCV has demonstrated zero cavitation damage after years of continuous operation in conditions that destroy conventional valves in months. The valve’s internal actuation system eliminates the external actuator—reducing the valve footprint and removing a common failure point in corrosive environments.
