100DPC Multi-trim DRAG® Production Choke Valve

IMI CCI 100DPC Production Choke Valve: Durable Solutions for Severe Oil and Gas Applications

The 100DPC production choke valve is specifically engineered for the most demanding wellhead applications in the oil and gas industry. Positioned where well fluid is first extracted, this valve must handle extreme conditions, including multi-phase fluids, high pressures, and corrosive elements. The 100DPC is designed to provide precise pressure control for downstream processes while minimizing wear and ensuring long-term reliability.

Key Challenges Addressed by the 100DPC Valve

1. Multi-Phase Fluids:
   • Managing complex flow characteristics that complicate accurate valve sizing.
2. High-Pressure Drops:
   • Mitigating kinetic energy impacts that lead to erosion, vibration, and noise.
3. High Solid Content:
   • Handling abrasive particles that can cause clogging and accelerated wear.
4. Corrosive Elements:
   • Protecting against acids (H₂S, CO₂), chlorides, and harsh chemicals to prevent corrosion.
5. Long Field Life Variability:
   • Accommodating fluctuating inlet pressures over the lifecycle of the field.

Innovative Design Features of the 100DPC Valve

1. Advanced Erosion and Noise Control:
   • Utilizes multi-stage and multi-path DRAG® trim technology to control velocity and dissipate energy, ensuring optimal wear resistance.
   • Key trim components made from solid tungsten carbide for exceptional erosion resistance.
2. Corrosion Resistance:
   • Wetted surfaces of pressure boundary parts are weld-overlaid with Inconel 625.
   • Internal wetted metallic components are made from Inconel 718 as standard.
   • Eliminates elastomeric seals (except for stem packing) to reduce vulnerability to corrosive elements.
3. Clogging Prevention:
   • Features large, expanding flow passages to handle solids and dirty fluids, minimizing the risk of clogging.
4. Customizable and Interchangeable Trims:
   • Offers characterized trim designs to maximize Cv range.
   • Trims available in single- and multi-stage configurations with guaranteed interchangeability for simplified maintenance.
5. Ease of Maintenance:
   • Internals and packing arrangements optimized for easy maintenance.
   • No components are screwed or welded to the pressure boundary, reducing downtime.
