VPC Valve Pilot Controllers — Zero Emissions Gas Pressure Control
VRG Valve Pilot Controllers (VPC’s) represent the next generation of pilot-type controllers for gas pressure control applications. With many accessories, add-ons, and manifolds available just a single valve platform has many different configuration options, including ZERO emissions options.
Double Acting Pilots
Single Acting Pilots
GAP Pilot
RCVC Red Circle Valve Controller — Electronic Natural Gas Valve Positioning
The VRG Red Circle Valve Controller provides accurate positioning of natural gas control valves via electronic signal. The RCVC can accept analog or discrete input signals. The RCVC is compatible with all VRG Controls control valve actuators and may also be installed on virtually any design of pneumatic control valve actuator. The Red Circle Control Valve features zero steady state consumption with an ability to discharge emissions to a suitable nearby pressure system. The high pressure capability of the RCVC system allows for efficient use of more compact pneumatic actuators. The RCVC is equipped with the most advanced programmable control capabilities, diagnostics and operational features to ensure the highest performance and easiest integration on new or retrofit applications.
VMO Valve Manual Override — Pneumatic Control Valve Operation
VMO Valve Manual Override is the ideal device to provide manual operation of pneumatically actuated control valves. The VMO allows the operator to override primary control instrumentation and position the actuated valve in open, closed or any intermediate position.
VGP-100 Valve Gas Positioner — Pneumatic Control Valve Positioning
The VGP is a pneumatic valve positioner designed to position a pneumatically actuated control valve proportional to a pneumatic command signal. Providing a modular plug and play pneumatic valve positioner system the VGP can be used with a wide array of pneumatically actuated control valves. With it’s modular design you can use the VGP’s single platform combined with the three available manifolds to control single acting and double acting valves.
VRG Linear Control Valves — Natural Gas Pipeline & LDC Gate Stations
VRG Controls’ Linear Control Valves are ideally suited for natural gas control applications. They can accommodate moderate and severe service. The cage guided design features trim options to address characterized flow and noise attenuation per application. The modular format can accept a variety of actuator and trim configurations and actuators to match your application needs.
The linear control valves are ideal for:
Low to Moderate Flow Rates
Aggressive Pressure Drop Applications
Power Plant Fuel Gas Feed
“Trim” Type Control Runs
Natural Gas Transmission Pipelines
Natural Gas LDC Gate Stations
PRCV Pipeline Rotary Control Valves — High Capacity Natural Gas Transmission
PRCV Pipeline Rotary Control Valves are rugged, trunnion mounted configuration with the durable features necessary for reliability and high performance in natural gas control applications. The high capacity design of the PRCV-FP series provides a full opening, high capacity design with high flow range-ability. Higher performance trims are available in our PRCV-STH1, PRCV-STH2 and PRCV-STHP series to provides additional noise attenuation and extended flow range-ability. The trunnion platform is equipped with VRG Control Specification features necessary to ensure maximum control accuracy and reliability for gas pipeline regulation applications. The PRCV mates seamlessly with VRG RHPA double acting and spring return actuators and control instrumentation to create the highest performance pipeline control valve package on market. The PRCV-FP Series can incorporate the Below Ground configuration when utilizing RHPA Series Actuators for maximum noise attenuation with maximum capacity and lowest cost.

ES Stemless Axial Flow Valve
The ES stemless valves offer world class performance, reliability and emissions control for a wide range of severe service applications in oil and gas, petrochemical and process industries. The ES stemless valves can also be used for transitioning energy systems, including hydrogen and biomethane applications. The ES provides zero-leakage isolation in a variety of materials and configurations from 2″ to 24″ (DN50 to DN600) and in pressures classes to ASME 2500#.
Transformed valve performance
The zero emission ES stemless axial flow valves have fundamentally transformed valve performance. Because the ES stemless valves do not have an external stem, there is no possibility of fugitive emissions through stem packing leaks. Further, because it does not have a mechanical drive train, it is not subject to stresses and side loading that cause poor performance and premature mechanical failure in other valve types.
Significantly reduced size and weight
With its pressure-balanced trim, the ES can be operated by a compact Electrohydraulic Powerpack, significantly reducing the size and weight of the valve package.
Reduced erosion and long-term zero leakage
The valve internals are also designed to provide very high flow rates while minimising turbulence. This reduces erosion on sealing surfaces and allows the ES to provide long-term zero leakage in a variety of severe applications.
Designed to operate at restricted flow and high differential pressure
ES withstands high velocities with no cavitation while maintaining tight shutoff.
ES will reduce process downtime caused by valve failure.
Does not have an external stem (a primary source of emissions)
ES does not require stem packing and maintenance to meet emissions requirements.
ES eliminates stem emissions, reducing OPEX related to valve packing.
Utilizes an Electrohydraulic Powerpack (rather than a conventional actuator)
The Electrohydraulic Powerpack is compact, efficient in transmitting force, and only requires 24VDC power and a control signal.
The Electrohydraulic Powerpack reduces valve package size and weight by 50% and reduces installation cost by 30%.
