Understanding wet steam erosion
Trim damage
Continuous exposure to wet steam can wear critical trim components, reducing performance and shortening valve service life.
Steam leakage and passing
Erosion of sealing surfaces can lead to internal leakage, affecting valve efficiency, controllability and reliability.
Increased maintenance costs
More frequent inspection, repair and component replacement can increase maintenance requirements and operating costs.
Reduced plant reliability
Unexpected valve degradation can contribute to unplanned outages, reduced availability and wider operational risks.
Wet steam erosion protection
How EroSolve Wet Steam protects critical valves
EroSolve Wet Steam is a retrofit solution designed to help combat wet steam erosion in critical steam valve applications. Through purpose-engineered trim upgrades, it helps protect valve internals from the damaging effects of wet steam and condensate, extending equipment life and improving long-term operational reliability. The solution can be applied to existing valves, helping operators address erosion issues without replacing the entire assembly.
Designed to resist erosion
Purpose-engineered sealing surfaces and trim components help protect valves from wet steam erosion and condensate damage.
Extended valve life
Erosion-resistant materials help reduce wear on critical components, extending valve service life and performance.
Upgrade existing assets
Retrofit existing valves without replacing the valve body or actuator, maximising the value of installed equipment.
Simplified maintenance
Upgrade options can reduce maintenance complexity while making future servicing and repairs more straightforward.
Reduced operational risk
Help minimise the effects of wet steam erosion that can contribute to leakage, unplanned maintenance and reliability issues.
Tailored engineering support
Engineering analysis helps identify erosion mechanisms and determine the most effective upgrade approach for each application.
