32” Line Stop With Bypass For Butterfly Valve Installation On A Gas Flare Line
Wellube completed a double position line stop operation on a 32” gas flare line to install a butterfly valve and tie-in valve in the existing flare line for a petrochemical client in Sudan. This project also holds the remarkable achievement of being the first of its kind in North Sudan.
Client Requirement
The client needed to perform maintenance in the header pipe of the client’s refinery flare header, which was the only flaring line for the two refineries in the facility. To enable this, a new branch had to be introduced and a butterfly valve as well as tie-in valve had to be installed on the new flaring line. The client reached out to Wellube to support them as hot tapping and line stopping was needed to execute their requirement.
