Technical features

Air Separation Units using cryogenic technology for the

Engineering services

• feasibility studies

• commissioning supervision

• erection, start up and performance testing

• remote control

Armed with a thorough knowledge of gas andthe relative treatment processes, since the parent company, SIAD S.p.A, is a Gas Company, SIAD Macchine Impianti is able to test their products “in-house”.

A capillary presence throughout the world:with 40 Certified Service Centres scattered acrossfive continents and over 100 certified technicians.

Maintaining compressors in perfect working order results in lower operating costs over the life of the equipment: this explains why SIAD Macchine Impianti keeps three factors in mind when designing their compressors:- extend the average interval between inspections as much as possible (MTBO, i.e. the mean time between outages);- minimize system downtime;- ensure that the compressors operate in a reliable and costeffective way for decades.

To keep its products operating properly and efficiently, SIADMacchine Impianti offers its clients a complete range of services:• Original parts• Services in the field• Technical support• Refurbishment and upgrade• Engineering services: - analysis - revamping - monitoring-diagnostics• Training

GLOBAL SERVICE

Penta started in 1977 with the design and production of:

• Metal seated ball valves for high temperature services (up to +700°C)

• Metal seated ball valves for abrasive services (with solids)

• Metal seated ball valves for low temperature services (down to -196°C)

• Spring Loaded PTFE seated cryogenic ball valves

• Ball valves with special designs

During his activity the Company has developed proprietary technologies for:

• Special self lubricating PENTAFITE seat metal

• Special expanding graphite gaskets to meet very high pressures and temperatures

• Long lasting design arrangements

More than twenty years of worldwide experience on critical services is now available in a

wide range of valve sizes and pressure classes. All our production is 100% pressure tested

to meet NO VISIBLE leakage both in seat hydrotesting and low pressure gas seat testing.

Since 1995 Penta is part of the ALFA VALVOLE group of companies, one of the Italian and

European leading manufacturers of soft seated ball valves.

Safety and reliability together with full satisfaction of customer’s expectations are the main

criteria on which design and manufacture of Penta valves is based.

ISO 9001 certified since 2003, the company has recently obtained also the ISO 14001 certificationfor the environmental management system.

OUR PARTNERS

This advanced exclusive seat material shows together:

• Metallic properties specially for which compressive

strength refers

• Low friction factors to reduce valve torque

• Self lubricating properties to eliminate galling experi-

enced with other solid metals

• High elasticity

side of the ball and to allow quick and easy interchange-

ability high corrosion resistance
