Learn how the Autonomous Shutdown Valve (ASV) saves operators money as well as the environment
Traditionally, subsea PLEM valves used in CALM buoy and similar tanker loading and offloading systems have been operated one of three ways:
- Diver
- Double-acting actuator powered by a buoy mounted hydraulic power unit
- Spring-return actuator powered by a buoy mounted hydraulic power unit
This short video explains the inherent operational issues with the above methods of PLEM valve control and how the ASV comprehensively addresses them.
