Case Study: a refinery improves jet fuel processing and safety with Valin's Facet Clay Treater Cartridge Housing

Refinery cuts clay treater changeouts from 10 days to 4–6 hours with Valin Corporation

Valin Corporation worked with a refinery that was using an outdated jet fuel clay treater from 1960. This antiquated system was inefficient, leading to poor process optimization and frequent, costly change-outs that released high concentrations of fumes and VOCs into the environment, posing safety and environmental risks.

The solution from Valin Corporation was a Facet Clay Treater Cartridge Housing with a removable Cartridge Bundle Assembly. This technology optimized the process, increased flow capacity, and drastically reduced change-out time from 10 days to just hours. The results included an estimated annual reduction of over 50 tons of hazardous waste, maintenance savings of $35,000, and an additional 18 days of production uptime, making the process safer and more environmentally friendly.
