Overcome extraction challenges

Ensuring continuous production with Metamorphic Trim

As oil fields mature, crude extraction becomes more challenging due to contaminants causing valve clogging and seizing. This leads to costly unplanned shutdowns and maintenance. IMI introduces EroSolve Metamorphic Trim (MMT), a patented valve trim solution that mitigates these issues, ensuring continuous production, enhanced productivity, and increased profitability.

Advanced features


By integrating these advanced features, the EroSolve Metamorphic Trim provides a robust solution for maintaining operational efficiency and reducing costs in challenging environments.

Self-cleaning design

The expanding passages in the trim reduce the risk of clogging, minimising unplanned shutdowns and maintenance costs.

Velocity control

The trim provides precise velocity control throughout the fluid passage, reducing the risk of vibration, noise, and damage due to cavitation.

Protected seat design

The seat is positioned upstream of the pressure reduction, preventing cavitation and ensuring longer service life.

High rangeability

The EroSolve Metamorphic Trim offers a rangeability greater than 200:1, allowing for excellent minimum flow control and customisable flow passages.

Customisable design

The trim can be tailored to fit existing valve bodies and actuators, reducing installation costs and enhancing performance.
