OmniSeal Expanding Plug Valves from Mead O'Brien

OmniSeal expanding plug valves are intended for applications requiring positive shut-off, verifiable zero leakage, double block and bleed (DB&B), and/or double isolation and bleed (DIB). 

OmniSeal is perfect for great  leased automated custody transfer (LACT), product metering, aviation fueling, product isolation, blending, lockout/tagout (LOTO), multi-product manifolds, tank storage, and other DB&B applications. 

The OmniSeal is a single valve solution that blocks both upstream and downstream flow while allowing the user to test seal integrity with a manual or automatic body bleed system. OmniSeal valves have exclusive features designed to improve performance over the valve's life. 

All OmniSeal DB&B expanding plug valves are manufactured and monogrammed per API 6D and ISO 9001, fire tested under API 607 and API 6FA, and have specific certifications such as CE/PED, CRN (Canadian Registration), TA-Luft, or other similar design or regional certifications where applicable.

Thermal Acoustic Blanket Insulation Solutions for the Power Generation Industry

Shannon Global Energy Solutions engineers and manufactures reusable blanket insulation and shields for manufacturing plants, power generation facilities, universities, hospitals, oil and gas facilities, and government buildings for energy conservation, thermal efficiency, noise reduction, and safety.

SOLUTIONS FOR THE POWER GENERATION INDUSTRY

Pre-engineered thermal acoustical insulation system designed to minimize insulation maintenance, improve engine performance and improve the surrounding work environment.

Eliminates the problems associated with conventional cement block insulation in which heat is readily conducted through the solid parts of the walls such as block webs and joints.

Removable and reusable. Blanket pieces can be installed and removed using in-house personnel. By following an installation assembly drawing, blanket pieces can be installed in tag number sequence.

Custom fit, through CAD/CNC technology allowing versatility in equipment coverage. Varying blanket designs will accommodate operating temperatures to 1500°F (815°C). Our exact fit approach assures a high quality reusable system.

Many Products / Many Solutions which are application specific to meet the exact requirement. Shannon's library of proven design specifications are ASTM / ISO and UL tested to meet industry standards, assuring quality and performance. Each blanket specification will accommodate Thermal, Acoustic and Safety performance unmatched in the industry to assure a 15 year service life.

Kurt Armstrong and Bob Nunn Discuss Decarbonization, Steam Trap Monitoring, and Batteryless Technology

As the fight against climate change gets traction and the globe draws closer to decarbonization, net-zero has become our common goal. For more than a century, Armstrong has aided businesses in increasing efficiency, lowering energy consumption, and reducing emissions. Armstrong is the world's leader in thermal utility management. 

Everactive, based in Silicon Valley, creates sensors that require so little power that they can continuously sense, process, and wirelessly transmit data by harvesting energy from their surroundings. Indoor solar (even in dimly lit facilities down to 100 Lux), thermal gradients, radio frequencies, vibration, and other energy sources are all possible.

Mead O'Brien transcribed the interview with Everactive CEO Bob Nunn and Armstrong CIO Kurt Armstrong where they discuss the global decarbonization movement and how monitoring steam traps might help reduce CO2 emissions. Read the transcript or watch the video here.

Mead O'Brien works closely with Armstrong on a regional basis to assist industry in achieving a net-zero objective efficiently and smoothly.

Steam Trap Replacement When Using the Armstrong TVS 6000UD

The Armstrong TVS 6000UD is a compact double isolation and bleed concept (up and downstream) with a 360° connector.

TVS 6000UD gives you double isolation inlet and outlet piston valves, bleed of inlet/outlet valves, a test valve, a strainer and a blowdown valve at trap inlet all merged together in a single compact 2-bolts universal connector.

With Armstrong’s 2-bolt universal connector block concept, the TVS 6000UD can be fitted with Armstrong’s inverted bucket, disc, thermostatic, thermostatic wafer, freely floating, and bimetallic steam traps. Any manufacturer’s 2-bolt steam trap can also be applied to Armstrong’s standard connector.

Benefits of the TVS 6000UD Trap Valve Station:

• Increased Safety when replacing steam traps thanks to double insolation and bleed concept
• Refurbishing existing trap stations without piping modification
• Trap Replacement in 5 minutes
• Simplified trap testing check trap operation easilly thanks to test valve at trap outlet
• Installation versatility. TVS 6000UD is adaptable to different steam trap technologies using 2-bolts
• Reduced costs a single compact trap station instead of 10 elements
• Reduction of potential leaks
• Connection flexibility (from ½’’ to 1’’ SW, BW, BSPT, NPT, flanges EN or ANSI)
• Piston valve technology
• 3-years guarantee
