Chemical & Petrochemical

Providing Chemical Plants with the Right Solutions Since 1921

Dependable sampling of critical equipment and control of process flow and pressure is our area of expertise. From the beginning, we have capitalized on the strength of our design and engineering capabilities and dedication to excellence to bring our customers the products they need when they need them.

Strahman Group provides chemical and petrochemical operations with valve technology solutions made for demanding production environments, harsh media, high temperatures and strict safety requirements. Our petrochemical valves and washdown equipment maintain process control and operator safety while keeping facilities running with less disruption.

Typical Applications:

Gas to liquid processes
Coal gasification processes
Delayed coking
Ethylene, fluid catalytic, and ethylene di chloride cracking processes
Floor and equipment clean-up
Chemical washdown for processing areas, workstations and production equipment

Strahman Process Valves

Our valves are highly customizable and can meet the most demanding pressures and temperatures. We eliminate dead space for process conditions to ensure repeatable performance. Using the correct valve for the job is essential not only for the integrity, safety, and efficiency of the process but also for meeting production quotas, thus generating revenue and enhancing profitability.

In petrochemical plants, valves do much more than open and close lines; they regulate flow, control pressure, collect representative samples, isolate process streams and manage difficult media that might be abrasive, viscous, corrosive or temperature-sensitive. Strahman process valves are created for critical applications where standard valve designs won’t provide enough reliability, cleanability or operator protection.

Our chemical-resistant valves can be configured to match specific media, operating conditions, connection types, materials of construction and actuation needs. This level of flexibility lets process engineers and procurement teams select valves for the petrochemical industry based on the real demands of the application.

Petrochemical facilities count on multiple valve types throughout production, transfer, sampling and safety systems. Depending on the process, teams can evaluate ball valves, butterfly valves, check valves, gate valves, globe valves, control valves, safety valves and specialized sampling or drain valves.

Strahman’s process valve portfolio is perfect for applications that require reliable sampling, tight shutoff, controlled drainage or reduced dead space. Sampling valves allow operators to collect accurate samples while limiting process interruption; drain and ram valves manage difficult materials in process lines and vessels.

BI-TORQ Emergency Shutoff

BI-TORQ Thermal Shutoff Valves help chemical and petrochemical facilities reduce fire escalation risks by automatically shutting off the flow of flammable media when elevated temperatures are detected. Unlike conventional valve automation, these safety-focused assemblies provide passive emergency protection that operates even when electrical or pneumatic power is unavailable.

Our IS-3TC sanitary clamp-end series features encapsulated seats and is available in both 2-way and 3-way configurations with manual, electric or pneumatic operation. Select BI-TORQ thermal shutoff valve assemblies are FM Approved, providing third-party certification that reinforces their performance and reliability in critical safety applications. This combination of thermal shutoff technology and FM-approved assemblies helps distinguish BI-TORQ from traditional valve automation providers.

BI-TORQ Valve Automation

Valve automation helps chemical and petrochemical facilities minimize manual intervention, improve response and support consistent process control. For automation engineers and maintenance teams, actuated valves also simplify operation in hard-to-reach areas or high-risk locations. When properly picked, automated valve systems can control flow, isolate equipment and respond to abnormal conditions quickly. BI-TORQ offers automated quarter-turn ball valves, butterfly valves and actuator packages engineered to deliver dependable performance across demanding industrial applications.

BI-TORQ valve automation solutions are designed for performance, safety and flexibility across industrial environments. From automated quarter-turn ball valves and butterfly valves to electric and pneumatic actuators, we work with plants to align valve operation with broader process control and safety goals while supporting reliable, efficient operation throughout the facility.
