The Ball Valve with an Eye for Detail

The odorization nozzle exchange valve (OEV) was developed jointly by Innogy and Böhmer in order to simplify injection nozzle maintenance and service.

Fokussed on Efficiency

Unlike the classical method of installation in the pipeline, with the OEV the injection nozzle is installed directly into the ball valve.

To service the injection nozzle, the valve is shut off and its interior chamber depressurized. The gas flow is fed on via a by-pass pipeline.

The ball opens up the view to the injection nozzle.The inspection window makes it possible to inspect the injection nozzle without removal. To exchange, the injection nozzle is removed from the odour line simply by hand and screwed out of the ball valve.

Thanks to the OEV, these procedures now hardly take any time at all. The valve increases the efficiency of inspection and maintenance work and makes it possible to achieve a significant saving of costs.
