Applying KPIs for valve reliability in projects with valve manufacturers, EPCs and end-users

Large capital projects in plant engineering come along with special challenges. It’s not unusual that starting up a plant for the first time and get it operating reliable causes reengineering and replacement of critical control valves and may lead to startup delays and significant operation loss in the early beginning of its live cycle. Applying new principles of operation for “Non Process Quality Control” (NPQC) show the way to a significant increase of quality in valve selection and reduction of cost for the plant operators at a very attractive cost benefit ratio.
