Synthetic Fuels

Synthetic fuel plants operate under extreme temperatures, abrasive catalyst environments, high solids loading, and high-pressure syngas conditions.

Key challenges include where conventional ball, gate, and plug valves, which fail due to catalyst erosion, coke buildup, thermal cycling, and chemical attack.

Everlasting’s rotating-disc technology provides unmatched reliability because the disc wipes the seat clean each cycle, seals tighter over time, and withstands the harshest slurry and solids-laden flows.

Movement drives rotation providing self-lapping to enhance performance and extended life.

Positive Shut-off: Leak rates are less than industry standard ANSI B.16.34; MSS-SP61 for metal seated valves. 

The spring-loaded disc is held firmly against the path that it travels.

Self-lapping disc ensures positive shut-off

Shearing action wipes media away to seal

Valve body design creates a vortex, self-cleaning

Disc pressure ensures positive seal

Value bodies are available in a wide choice of materials

EV Valves may be used for converging applications

Self-lapping disc design

Everlasting Valves are designed for the most severe applications

Why Everlasting Valves Excel in Synthetic Fuels Operations:

  • Self-cleaning rotating disc eliminates buildup of catalyst, wax, or char

  • Wear-in, not wear-out sealing improves performance over time

  • No seat cavities → no packing with solids

  • Packing is serviceable → minimal downtime

  • Proven in GTL/CTL/BTL and Fischer–Tropsch operations worldwide

Synthetic Fuels Applications for Everlasting Valves

Synthetic fuel production involves intricate processes that demand robust and reliable valve solutions. Our Everlasting valves are designed to meet these challenges head-on, ensuring efficiency, longevity, and minimal downtime throughout the production cycle.

Whether it’s the production of synthetic diesel, synthetic natural gas (SNG), or other synthetic hydrocarbons, our valves are perfectly suited for critical roles in the synthetic fuel production process. They excel in handling diverse feedstocks, catalytic reactions, and high-temperature environments.

Everlasting has installed valves in some of the most advanced, innovative, energy technologies. They include coal gasification (GE & Southern Co.), gas, coal, & biomass to liquids or XTL (Oryx, Frontline BioEnergy, Energy & Environmental Research Center). And Sasol specs EV for catalyst slurry services in in their F-T (Fischer-Tropsch) Process.
