Rotary Control Technologies
Flexibility for Demanding Environments
In the harsh environments associated with chemical / petrochemical processes, control valves are a
vital part of the numerous control loops found within the plant. These important valves control gases,
liquids, steam or chemical compounds by maintaining pressure, flow levels or disseminating the
energy of pressure differentials to ensure the integrity of the process. They must be designed to avoid
fugitive emissions and dependably handle lethal applications and often caustic media.
Variable Trim Technology

The MOGAS family of control valve technologies gives you complete flexibility
for your application. The patented FlexStream technology expands upon the
MOGAS ball valves proven strengths by adding the capabilities of precision
modulation, exceptionally high rangeability and characterization.
Flexible design comes from the variable construction of the internal trim. The
trim is custom engineered to suit high pressure differential (P) applications
by changing the number of openings, the style of letdown passages (straight-
through or tortuous path) and the percentage of the bore that is filled. The
complete valve assembly can be manufactured as a floating or trunnion ball
design in a 2-piece or 3-piece forged body construction, using a variety of
corrosion resistant materials and coatings to meet the demands of severe
process flow components. FlexStream technology uses a varying number
of passageways engineered within the bore,
custom designed to suit high pressure
differential applications, providing better
control of velocity / noise / vibration / erosion /
cavitation.
Variable trim technology tailors the percentage

of filled bore to application-specific requirements.
These examples show a range from 10 percent
filled to 100 percent filled.
Controlling Velocity
Pressure can be reduced by turning the fluid flow through a right angle, which
absorbs energy and controls velocity. By cascading the pressure over a number
of right angle turns, the pressure drop at each stage is evenly distributed. The
tortuous path expands at each right angle to ensure velocities remain equal through
the turns, even though the fluid is expandingeliminating any potential damage.
The larger the pressure drop, the more turns are required to control velocity.
This cross-section view of passageways shows
how multiple right-angle turns are used to
better control velocity in larger pressure drops.
8
Dependable Emissions Control
With the safety of plant personnel and fugitive emissions paramount to all
plants, the MOGAS stem design has proven a reliable choice. Potential fugitive
emissions can occur wherever there is a requirement to provide a seal between
the process fluid and the external environment. Live-loaded packing and anti-
extrusion rings, combined with application-specific stem packing, ensure a leak-
free stemeven during large temperature and pressure fluctuations. Linear rising
stem valve designs have an extremely difficult time maintaining a leak-free stem
seal due to high friction, shaft wear, erosion and backlash.
Live-loading maintains proper pressures on

application-specific stem packing and anti-
extrusion rings.
Accurate Sizing
As with most control valves, the initial sizing and selection process is carried out
on customized computer software. Often incomplete requirements can result in
improper sizingproviding opportunities for control valve failures. MOGAS has
developed a customer-friendly sizing program which has been verified by an
authorized third party for accuracy, taking into account the guidelines provided
by the relevant ISA and IEC standards developed for control valve selection.
The final selection process takes into account a combination of information

provided by the computer and application engineering knowledge provided by
MOGAS. In-house Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) are used to precisely
determine the amount of letdown stages needed per application.
Sample of Computational Fluid Dynamics

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a
sophisticated, computationally based design
and analysis technique that ensures the valve
meets environmental regulations and industry
compliance prior to construction.
As indicated in this CFD of a FlexStream flow

passage, the pressure decreases at each right-
angle pressure reduction stage.

Engineered Products
Application-specific Customized Designs
Each chemical / petrochemical process is unique and often requires customized valves that just
cant be found in a standard equipment catalog. With decades of validated design and fabrication
experience, MOGAS is often asked by end users to engineer a one-of-a-kind solution. Not every
original equipment manufacturer (OEM) has the skills and experience to commit to an extensive
development program. MOGAS has always welcomed these types of challenges and has worked
closely with licensors and end users to create dependable results.
MAX-Series for Customized Solutions

These valves are engineered for unique operational requirements and involve strong collaboration between engineering,
operations, maintenance and manufacturing. All MAX-Series valves are in compliance with industry standards and codes.
Special Linkage (Dual Valves, Quad Valves)

These valve configurations may involve multiple severe service valves that need
to operate in a specific sequence or operate in such a manner that some are
automatically closed when others are opened.
This special linkage allowed one flow line to

run while the other was isolated. This enabled
the operators to open two valves and close
two valves in a single operation.
Special Automation
Often rapid operation, high cycling or even dimensional requirements will
call for a unique automation package. MOGAS works closely with clients to
ensure the demanding automation needs for their severe service valves are
successfully achieved.
3, 4 or 5-Way Diverter Valves

When diverting the flowstream in different directions or to different locations, a
dependable no leak through diverter valve is crucial to mitigate any deadhead
and / or reversal of flow. The ability to handle a rotary-operated stream separation
is critical to the reliability of the process as well as the safety of the plant. This
often simplifies or eliminates the number of valves needed.
This 8-inch ASME 600 Class 4-way switching

valve maintains >90 percent flow area of
full bore during mid-stroke. It also has the
flexibility of valve placement (horizontal or
vertical mounting position) to help minimize
capital piping expenditures.
10
Ultra High-pressure Valves
Extremely high pressures require extreme engineering and proven manufacturing
skills to mitigate any process / personnel safety concerns. Often chemical /
petrochemical isolation valves must provide tight shut-off for severe operating
conditions, as well as potentially toxic chemicals.
Isolating under extreme gas pressures

(over 42,000 psi), this 1-inch Special Class
CA-1AS was modified to dependably isolate
in both high pressure and high temperature.
MOGAS was chosen as this companys valve
partner when the MOGAS valve lasted three
times longer than previous valves.
Unique Bore or Inlet / Outlet Sizing

Special piping or process requirements often create operational challenges
for severe service valves. Dimensional sizing constraints often limit commodity
valves. MOGAS has been able to offer uniquely fabricated and manufactured
ball valves that meet operational specifications, maintain process integrity, fit
mechanical dimensions and honor deadlines.
Nicknamed the trumpet valve due to its

unique inlet size compared to its outlet size
(28 x 14-inch), this ASME 300 Class CA-DRI
metal-seated ball valve was an innovative
solution to a customers unusual configuration
needs.
One-of-a-Kind
Custom requests are part of our legacy. MOGAS has been in the business since
1973, engineering and fabricating that one exclusive valve that is a non-standard
crucial component for your operating system. Unique bore sizes, different end
connections and special trim materials are easily accomplished through our
engineered products group.
This 3-inch ASME 300 Class one-of-a-kind

valve was built for a customer requiring
customized fabrication and linkage. This 2-way
valve, with piping entering the valve from the
bottom, has two balls located within the valve
body that open / close in an alternating fashion.
11
Proven Coatings
Not All Coatings are Equal
Harsh acids. Pounding pellets. Abrasive media. High cycling.

Each of these conditions can greatly affect the operations of mechanical equipment. The coatings
used in the chemical / petrochemical industries (CPI) are often critical to not only the performance
of the valve, but also the longevity of the equipment in that particular environment.
Often the success of a coating depends upon proper selection of the base
material and the coating, along with the method in which the coating is
appliedall as a complete system. MOGAS offers a range of mechanically and
metallurgically bonded coatings, applied with absolute accuracy for optimum
thickness while maintaining precise design tolerances and dimensions.
Through MOGAS, a wide selection of coatings are available to best serve each
particular process area. Coatings must handle a variety of challenges such as
erosion, corrosion, pitting, chemical attack / corrosion, wear, material build-up,
etc. The abrasive and / or acidic nature of certain media and chemical agents
create serious operating challenges in the chemical / petrochemical market
challenges that MOGAS meets head-on with experience, world class engineering
and the very latest in material science.

Designed for Safety
Ensuring Confidence and Reducing Risks
Fugitive Emissions Control

Most chemical and process plants must adhere to strict legislative and safety
requirements (such as ISO 15848-2) regarding fugitive emissions. Under these
conditions, leaks to atmosphereno matter how smallcan grow into large
concerns. The monitoring and control of these emissions has become a major
focus for plant operators. Whether satisfying environmental, legislative or industry
guidelines of agencies such as the EPA, TA-Luft, ASME and others, all valves must
meet clearly defined requirements to handle the most common valve leak areas:
stems and body gaskets.
Often a small drip, or even gaseous release, can harm the equipment, environment
or plant personnel. With this in mind, MOGAS has engineered stem and body
gaskets to reduce the risk of unanticipated emissions. Our ball valves have two
independent stem seals, as well as special body gaskets, to ensure reliable
sealing. These design features are discussed in more detail below.
Category M for Lethal Fluids

Category M for Lethal Fluids, per ASME B31.3 code, is defined as a fluid service 4
1
in which a single exposure to a very small quantity of toxic fluid, caused by
leakage, can produce serious, irreversible harm to persons on breathing or bodily
contact, even when prompt restorative measures are taken. MOGAS metal seated
ball valves have operated successfully for years in critical Category M applications 3
such as acetic anhydride, phosgene gas and supercritical CO2 systems.
A special requirement of this code is the stem seal design. MOGAS has 2
addressed this requirement by providing independent stem seals which include:
pressure-energized and mate-lapped stem seal bearing
stem packing that uses two anti-extrusion rings and 1 Stem
three application-specific packing rings 2 Stem seal bearing
optional lantern rings, piped to a detector 3 Application-specific stem packing
live loading system 4 Live loading system
This MOGAS design meets all requirements of Category M specifications, without

the use of expensive and high maintenance bellow sealswhich have a limited
cycle life.
Delta ring
Pressure Energized Gasket gasket
Category M requires the use of designs that increase gasket compression as
pressure increases. MOGAS provides a pressure-energized delta ring gasket
for all Category M severe service ball valves. This solid metal, tapered ring
combines high surface loading with the strength of the seal material to provide
considerable stored energy and tight sealingeven in systems where vibration or
thermal cycling might weaken other sealing components, leading to potential leak
paths.

Precision Cleaning
Cleanroom Services
Due to the serious and often potentially hazardous nature of some

process media, it is crucial that equipment go through precision
cleaning prior to installation. While the removal of combustible
contaminants from components used in oxygen-enriched
environments is critical to plant safety, precision cleaning is also
necessary to keep impurities from corrupting the integrity of the
chemical composition of the media.
Precision cleaningsuch as oxygen, aqueous

Pumps
MOGAS Valve Applications
Process plants use pumps to move feedstock, intermediates and products throughout a system. To
keep the process running smoothly, proper operation of pumps play a vital role. From time to time
there can be operational upsets or mechanical failures of the equipment, requiring isolation for repair
or safety reasons. When called upon, the associated valves must be trustworthy to maintain proper
operating pressures and system integrity.
Application Parameters
For a series of pumps, there are redundant isolation valves on both the
suction and discharge sides
Valves must provide tight shutoff for the equipment to be serviced
To modulate discharge and hold back pressure, a control valve is used to
prevent equipment damages and maintain pump efficiency rates

Compressors
The chemical / petrochemical industries can put compressors through a variety of extreme conditions,
from high pressures and temperatures to gases with aggressive and toxic components. Several
different types of compressors are used to move the flow along while reducing the volume of
the compressible fluid. This activity usually results in increasing temperature (release of energy)
and pressure at the compressor discharge. Because of demanding specifications, strict safety
requirements, substantial purchase costs, and the need for long periods of dependable operation,
it is crucial to maintain a constant flow rate for protection against damaging flow surge.
Compressor Anti-Surge Solutions

Surges or pressure upsets can cause significant equipment damage, wasted
energy and process variations. This fluctuation happens when the pressure on
the discharge side is different than the pressure produced by the compressor.
This surge phenomenon can happen rapidly and cause the flow to reverse
momentarily.
MOGAS rotary control ball valves offer quickness and reliabilitycapable of

stroking to a fully open position in less than a second. Using FlexStream control
technology, these valves are designed to control high P in liquids, gases and
multi-phase flow to combat energy consumption, velocity, cavitation and noise.

Furnaces and Sootblowers
Industrial furnaces provide heat for processing, and vary as to function, types of fuel and method of
introducing combustion air. Furnaces are generally designed with a goal of enhancing product yield
while improving furnace thermal efficiency and maximizing high heat transfer. For those plants with
a furnace and sootblower system, any associated valves will be exposed to an extreme environment
involving high temperatures, as well as potential abrasive scale and particulate build-up.
Due to these extreme temperatures, MOGAS metal-seated quarter-turn on / off

valves are often chosen over temperature-limiting soft-seated valves or traditional
gate valves that have exposed sealing surfaces. Frequently located at the bottom
of the furnace, this hot and dirty location warrants a dependable valve that can
endure such punishing conditions and requires low maintenance.
MOGAS valves have also been selected as part of the sootblower systems where
ash and particulate build-up can be a major concern. Sootblowers use water, air
or steam to remove deposits from the tubesand these abrasive medias can
be damaging to the sealing surfaces of isolation valves if left exposed. While in This 12-inch ASME 300 Class valve was used

Reactors
Reactors are vessels designed to perform chemical reactions that take place in the presence of a
catalyst between reactants in feedstock, or reactants in multiple feed streams. The activity in the
reactor is the heart of the process and is constantly trying to maximize net present value for the given
reaction by enhancing yield at optimum conditions. The chemical reactions occurring in the reactor
may be exothermic or endothermic.
Severe service isolation valves are installed at both the beginning (injection)
and the end (withdrawal) of the reactor. Those located at the end of the reaction
process are usually subjected to harsh conditions that can be punishing to a
common commodity valve.
Typical conditions that severe service valves must handle around the reactors
can include:
High temperatures / high pressures

Exchangers
Exchangers are widely used for both cooling and heating large scale industrial processes. Heat
exchangers work to stabilize the operation of the plant by recovering heat and transferring it to
another part of the process. This practice saves money, as the heat supplied to other streams from
the heat exchangers would otherwise come from an external sourcewhich is more expensive and
more harmful to the environment.
Because there are usually several interrelated exchangers in a system, any

malfunction can be compounded. Due to the corrosive nature of much of the
chemical / petrochemical media, maintenance of the exchangers is a continual
concern. Isolation of the exchangers for repair, re-tubing or cleaning is imperative
for the integrity of the process, and can have a direct impact to the operations
budget. The ability to install these critical isolation valves horizontally or vertically
is also an important factor in choosing the correct valve type. MOGAS quarter-
turn metal seated ball valves can be installed in either configuration, reducing the
need of numerous spare valves.
Typical tasks of exchangers in chemical / petrochemical plants include:

Heating and cooling of acids and caustic solutions
Cooling of highly viscous products
Tempering and condensation of solvents, exhaust vapor and steam
Cooling of water circuits

Separators
Separators can be both pre and post the furnace / reactor in order to separate phases or pre-filter
the raw materials or feedstock as well as part of the extraction process. Usually there are multiple
separator systems to handle the different phases of purification of the end product, as well as initiator
recovery for recycling. Isolating the different separators for maintenance and repair requires a reliable
isolation on/off valve.

Letdown Systems
In most process plants there are single or multi-stage letdown systems between the furnace / reactor
and the final end product. These systems reduce the pressure of the flow while maintaining the
integrity of the media. By reducing the pressure, energy is released in several stages to stabilize
flow before arriving downstream to the required product conditions or extrusion process.
Both control and isolation valves can be used in letdown Because these applications endure rough wear, routine
