“Containerized” – what does it mean?

Containerized modular plant system with DBB Valves.

Welcome to the world of Modular Plant Systems. Construction of modularized plant system has become a popular choice of design. Especially in heavy process industries common to the Oil & Gas and Petrochemical Sector. Generally, such modularizations are used for compact steel frameworks commonly called “skids”. For example when equipment, vessels, piping, valves, instrumentation and electrical/controls are mounted. A complete system may comprise a single skid or a number of skids to form a bigger and sophisticated processing system.

Smart DBB Valve Technology

DBB - Endusers have cost reduction of 30 percent.

DBB Valves: Traditional installations of DBB Valve systems at plants are very time consuming and an expensive practice. A traditional system consists of two single ball valves, a needle valve, various connectors, adaptors and flanges. There are many steps to consider when completing the installation process. In total, there can be as many as 41 steps required for a traditional installation of DBB valves setup.

The Advantantage of using a compact DBB Valve

DBB - Benefits and advantages of a DBB assembly in oil and gas industry.

In the Oil/Gas industry, although it has become very common, the use of a compact Double Block & Bleed (DBB) valve for pressure energy isolation is still not applied or adopted across the board. I have experienced a few times wherein the use of a DBB valve for process isolation is more of an option rather than a design requirement.

Compact Double Block & Bleed vs. Conventional Installations

DBB - Use compact DBB assembly to reduce weight and space.

Double block and bleed valve systems are conventional installations for most End-Users in the Oil and Gas industry. Conventional installations of DBB valve systems have become a normal practice and can even be found on offshore platforms.

The installation of DBB valve systems is a time consuming process that can negatively impact employees and their work production. The normal process of this type is baded on:

Using two 6” 1500 class ball valve with all the additional materials,
Long and comlex installation process (up to a 41 steps)
Huge amount of material (weight of 2,645 lb(s) = 1200 kg
