Pump control valves (PCVs) are required to accurately control fluid outlet pressure to operate the pipeline and transport fluid cost-effectively.
Variable frequency drive (VFD) pumps are capable of 99% or better uptime, and during those times, the pump station valve may be wide open or at a large opening. If the VFD fails, the pump station valve will be required to accurately and effectively control the fluid pressure without any vibration or noise problems.
