Managing flow and pressure at the wellhead is crucial for maximizing production and maintaining safety. Hydroplex’s automated wellhead solution offers advanced control using precision components and seamless system integration.
How Automation Works
The Hydroplex automated valve (Secondary Pressure Drop and Control Point) is the regulating flow/pressure control device designed to maintain a steady production level into flow lines and production headers. The Hydroplex valve is controlled by the production management system (PMS). The PMS automatically controls open/close/throttling modes via electric or pneumatic signals from the control panel to regulate the flow into downstream processes.
This method ultimately yields better production control because of the staged drop. The secondary valve regulates flow or pressure to required production levels. Cost of acquisition and maintenance is also substantially reduced.
Benefits of Installing a Hydroplex Valve
Hydroplex valves are engineered for long-term performance and accuracy:
- Precise Control: “Direct Mount” actuation eliminates brackets, linkages, or adapters.
- Superior Resolution: 270° rotation and Twin Disc trim provide superior accuracy.
- Longer Lifespan: Twin disc design separates control and sealing surfaces.
- Chemical Injection Port: Built into the valve body for streamlined operations.
- Durable Materials: Solid tungsten carbide trim reduces wear on seals and surfaces.
- Pressure Drop Control: Optional internal multistage pressure drop.
- Minimal Maintenance: Stainless steel internals extend service intervals.
- Repeatable Performance: High repeatability ensures consistent control.
- Robust Design: Stem and seal assembly handles hundreds of thousands of cycles.
Why It Matters
Real-time control and monitoring of wellhead flow ensures optimal production while minimizing downtime. Hydroplex valves integrate with your system to deliver safe, efficient, and precise control at every stage of your well’s life.
