Process Overview
  Enhancing and safeguarding refining processes
Curtiss-Wright Flow Control supplies a diverse set of products and services to the hydrocarbon processing, refining, petrochemical, gas production and processing markets, including engineered valves, control systems, safety relief valves, specialized pumps, process safety management software and accessory and field repair services. As demand for global fuel requirements grow, processing capacity must also increase and Curtiss-Wright Flow Control's products provide the oil and gas industry with significant savings while providing technology solutions that foster plant flexibility, reliability, enhanced production and compliance with safety and environmental regulations.

Process solutions include...
Curtiss-Wright Flow Control companies provide critical technology for severe service processing. As illustrated in the diagram below, the distillation column heats the crude oil and gravity separates the components with "heavier" at the bottom and "lighter" at the top. The lighter components are easier to refine, but heavier components (sometimes called "bottoms") require advanced refining techniques (displayed here in orange). The heavier the crude placed in the front end, the greater, or more “severe”, the demand on these processes..

  Key business units include:
  DeltaValve is known for its revolutionary coke drum unheading system where it is the world leader in innovative delayed coking solutions. Its flagship product, the DeltaGuard® Unheading Device, has set the new standard in safe, reliable, and easy-to-operate coke-drum unheading, and is the only fully enclosed unheading system which completely isolates personnel and equipment from coke drum fallout and other hazards associated with the unheading process. Other innovative products include DeltaValve's drum top blowout diverter, drill stem guide, auto-switch coke cutting tool, and a complete line of isolation valves which can be maintained and repaired in-line. DeltaValve operates from facilities in Utah and western Canada.

  Offshore/subsea production suppliers include:
 

The Electro-Mechanical Division subsea multiphase pump systems are driven by highly-reliable canned motors. These motors, which have been a signature EMD product for more than 50 years feature hermetically sealed stators that are particularly well suited to the rigors of deepwater subsea applications. The resulting pumping systems can provide an up to 50% acceleration in production from the seabed floor, significantly reducing costs, making more fields viable, and permitting longer tie-back distances to reduce the number of required surface platforms. Ultimately, subsea production enables production to move directly to land-based facilities and reduces the need for surface level platforms.
