Slurry Flow Control

Optimize slurry flow control while reducing valve wear and maintenance

Reliable slurry flow control is critical to extraction performance.

Slurry flow control plays an essential role in maintaining stable extraction processes and maximizing bitumen recovery. Abrasive slurry conditions can accelerate valve wear, increase maintenance requirements, and impact process performance, making reliable flow control critical to efficient operations.

Oil sands slurry streams create highly abrasive and erosive operating conditions that can significantly impact valve performance and service life. Maintaining accurate flow control is essential to supporting bitumen recovery, stable operation, and efficient extraction performance while minimizing maintenance requirements.

Extend Valve Life While Maintaining Process Control

Emerson's Fisher™ Slurry Vee-Ball™ V150S control valve is engineered for abrasive slurry applications where erosion, wear, and flow velocity can significantly affect valve performance. Its reverse-flow design helps protect critical valve components and downstream piping while maintaining predictable flow control throughout the valve lifecycle. In many applications, operators have achieved up to a 4x increase in valve lifespan, reducing maintenance requirements and supporting more consistent operations.
