FCC
Safe operation in critical applications
Refineries include Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) units where extreme conditions dominate. It is indispensable to have quality valves with high safety standards to reliably protect equipment, environment and people. This is where ADAMS comes in. We have a long experience in the production of valves for critical applications and extreme operating conditions.
All of our valves are especially designed to meet the high demands in these processes, they have proven their reliability since nearly 50 years. We have delivered one of the first valves for an Fluid Catalytic Cracking process to BP in Rotterdam in 1978. It has been mounted in an UOP FCC process and was one of the first valves ever that has been used in this type of application. Both valves are still in service, which proves the high quality of the design and also the longevity of the valve. Up to now, numerous valves are reliably operating in FCC expanders worldwide.
