Iranian Researchers’ Invention Increases Efficiency in Oil Transmission Industry
“Tank level control valve (mechanical) has been designed to prevent the overflow of liquids inside the tanks without creating a water hammer with high reliability in connecting and disconnecting the fluid input (oil and water) to the tank in a completely mechanical way and at a very low cost compared to conventional hydraulic methods. The newly-designed valve can be installed in any flow rate and pipe size,” said Ahmad Yazerlou, the executive manager of the project.
He added that the special valves can be used in metal or composite tanks for storing fluids like oil, gasoline, diesel, water and in water and sewage companies.
“This valve model is mechanically installed inside the tank, which reduces the initial costs and does not need any maintenance or repair,” Yazerlou said.
Earlier, a knowledge-based company in Iran had also produced oil stoppers which had settled the maintenance problems of the country’s oil and gas pipelines.
Alireza Elhami, the managing director of the knowledge-based company ‘Noandishan Industrial Services’ said, “The product that has recently been mass produced in the company is oil and gas high pressure pipe stoppers. The stoppers are made by two companies on the international stage. Now, an American company and an Italian company produce this product, and Noandishan Industrial Improvement Services Company in Iran, after 14 months of effort, was able to achieve the technology of making these oil pressure stoppers.”
“We can now proudly say that we are the first company in the country and the third one in the world that produce these oil stoppers. We have signed contracts with oil and gas production companies based on which we must mass produce the orders,” he added.
