Engineered solutions
- TOTAL Flow Control
TOTAL Flow Control and Singer Valves
have been proud to be involved with the
upgrade of the Raw Water Inlet Control
valve at Shannon Creek Dam.
We have worked closely with Clarence Valley Council to
achieve engineered solutions to process isolation and
control valve problems in its plant and infrastructure.
The Singer Solution for the Shannon Creek Dam
project was to recommend, supply and install an
electronic control valve, with Singer’s Cavitation
Control Trim – specifically designed for the operating
pressures and flows for the dam inlet control.
The Singer DN600 S106 2SC PCO AC Control Valve
will effectively control the cavitation occurring due to
the significantly high head loss and flow the valve is
required to control.
Where other valve designs had previously failed, the
Singer Valve has performed very well, with Singer
providing a guarantee of no damage due to cavitation!
TOTAL Flow Control has also been able to work
with numerous other clients across a wide range of
industries, including Water, Power Generation, Oil
& Gas, Petro Chemical etc, to provide them with
the correct valve selection based on their specific
operating conditions, which has reduced plant failure,
downtime and maintenance costs.
TOTAL Flow Control welcomes the opportunity
to discuss valve and actuator selection and
requirements with customers across all industries.
We, along with our key supply partners, are committed
to providing customers with the correct valve selection
and specification based on the clients Process Operating
Conditions, by sourcing a range of world-recognised,
high-quality valves, actuators and automation products.
“It is unfortunate that many purchasing decisions for
critical valves in a client’s plant are made based on
commercial acceptance, rather than on a technical and / or
proven performance-based criteria,” says Andrew Parker.
“The overall life cycle cost for installing the correct
valve is usually much less than the significant monies
wasted on continual plant downtime, valve failure and
spares / maintenance repairs required by valves that
have been incorrectly selected and installed.”
