– Pressure regulation: Maintains a consistent upstream pressure in the system, ensuring optimal flow control and preventing issues such as paraffin and gas lock.
– Robust construction: Designed for heavy-duty applications, the regulator is built to withstand demanding environments and high pressures.
– By-pass functionality: Can act as a by-pass to the casing in case of line freezes or blockages, ensuring continuous operation.
– Sizes and pressure ratings: Available in a 4″ size with a maximum working pressure of 900 psi (64 bar) and a working pressure range of 30 to 600 psi (2 to 40 bar). Maximum flow: 400 gpm (2200 m³/day).

Applications:

– Paraffin control: Maintains pressure on the oil column to allow gas bubbles to be pumped out before they rupture, preventing paraffin and gas lock.
– Heading up prevention: Ensures a constant pressure on the oil column to prevent heading up, ensuring full string operation.
– System protection: Provides a by-pass to casing in case of lead line freezing or plugging.
