Description/Abstract:
THE DIAPHRAGM-SEALED, AIR OPERATED VALVES EMPLOYED IN THE RECUPLEX PROCESS HAVE EXHIBITED A MAIN FAILURE RATE DURING OPERATION. A SPARE VALVE WAS TESTED UNDER CONDITIONS DUPLICATING THOSE IN Z-PLANT, USING THE DIAPHRAGM SUPPLIED AND DIAPHRAGMS OF OTHER MATERIALS. FLUOROFLEX-T-1000 DIAPHRAGMS WERE FOUND SUITABLE FOR USE IF PROPER METHODS ARE USED IN ASSEMBLING THE VALVES. THE VALVE AND TESTING EQUIPMENT ARE DESCRIBED AS WELL AS TEST PROCEDURE AND RESULTS.
