Pneumatic conveyance of semi-solid materials through flow diverter valves as an integral part of the DUAL FUSE® drilling waste collection, transport and storage systems.
Specially manufactured for installation into the DUAL FUSE® Drilling waste collection, storage and transportation systems, the R-Valve is a pneumatically operated Diverter valve that facilitates diversion of flow between material collection points. The valve is operated by compressed air. This R-Diverter valve is a permanent fail-safe solution to durably pneumatically convey semi. solid materials. It makes temporary or make shift, piping and valves included in the assembly to clear the lines of blockages redundant. The R-Diverter valve enables instant diversion of flow between drilling waste materials collection points including the DUAL FUSE® ISO tank containers or Skips and other collection and conveying units. The R-Valve maintains a full pipe bore for material movement at all times unlike butterfly valves typically of a valve design that potentially could disrupt the flow and contribute to the incidence of material stagnation.
The R-Valve has been manufactured to suit the DUAL FUSE® system. It is an air-actuated rotational valve with two operating positions: Divert (D) and Through (T). The valve has been designed to maintain a smooth full-bore transfer at all times at conveying pressure up to 101.5 psi [7 bar], preventing material build-up that could lead to pipe blockage.
The valve is pneumatically actuated and is normally operated manually but can be connected to station from where the valve is remotely operated.
