With a high tolerance to liquids and solids in the gas stream, the SF is ideally suited for natural/shale gas production, gathering, transmission, distribution and storage applications. The SFs offer a guaranteed 25% improvement in valve reliability, a guaranteed 20% improvement in valve efficiency, a 5-15% improvement in throughput, and a significant reduction in inventory. The inventory reduction stems from the modular nature of the straightflo valves – the SFs are a drop-in replacement for existing valves, and they utilize modular cartridges inside of the valve housing (so that there is no wear on the valve housing itself). www.zahroofvalves.com Show less Zahroof Valves, Inc (“ZVI” or the "Company") is the manufacturer of the straightflo ("SF") valve, a revolutionary technology for the reciprocating gas compressor valve marketplace.
