IQ actuators installed at Morrinsville water supply site.

Almost 150 intelligent electric actuators on Rotork’s Pakscan™ control network have been ordered for the Quimica Puente Mayorga chemical processing plant in Cádiz, Spain. The actuators were installed on gate valves and control the flow of unprocessed fluids, as well as providing ESD functionality. In an emergency, they release the fluids into suction and discharge pumps for isolation.

Rotork has launched a programme of advanced analytics for the management of intelligent flow control assets. It is a system of advanced analytics to improve reliability and availability of key assets (such as valves) across all industries that use flow control processes.

Rotork has updated the PAX range of actuators by adding an AC power variant of the PAX1 linear actuator.

The Grand Coulee Dam Washington State, USA, is the largest producer of hydroelectric power in the United States. It is a gravity dam, with three hydroelectric power generating plants and a pump generating plant (which works to create energy from a back-up reservoir at a higher elevation when demand is high) which provide a total generating capacity of 6,809-megawatts.

Rotork IQ electric modulating actuators were selected for the Milano San Rocco Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP), which serves the city of Milan, Italy.

GP range pneumatic actuators have been installed at a South Korean LNG Terminal. The terminal houses four Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) storage tanks, each capable of storing up to 52.8 million gallons, a 45,000 tonne Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) tank and a regasification plant.

Rotork CVL linear process control actuators have been provided to French equipment manufacturer AREVA H2Gen where they will play a critical role within a hydrogen generator.

Rotork has installed over 700 CK modular electric actuators at the Shantou wastewater treatment in Guangdong, southern China facilities, where they enable sewage treatment to be carried out in accordance with new environmental regulations.
