Section 01

Project Background

A pharmaceutical plant required reliable valve control for steam sterilization and disinfection processes on reaction tanks.

The original imported positioners were used on pneumatic control valves and angle seat valves. The customer needed a stable replacement solution to support long-term plant operation and reduce dependence on the original imported brands.

Section 02

Customer Challenge

The application involved steam sterilization and disinfection, where valve control stability directly affects process reliability.

The original imported positioners showed insufficient reliability during plant operation. The customer needed replacement units that could fit the existing valve applications and provide stable control performance under real production conditions.

Section 03

POWERFLOW Solution

POWERFLOW supplied IP6000 smart valve positioners to replace German ARCA positioners, and 1600 series smart valve positioners to replace German Burkert positioners.

The products were applied to pneumatic control valves and angle seat valves used in reaction tank steam sterilization and disinfection processes.

Section 04

Project Results

The replacement solution improved valve control reliability in the steam sterilization process and helped the customer reduce dependence on imported positioner brands.

Since installation in December 2019, the POWERFLOW units have continued supporting stable valve control in the plant application with no reported major issues.
