CRANE Energy Flow Solutions Supports Ethanol Production at the 2011 Fuel Ethanol Workshop & Expo

Shenandoah, TX, USA (June 24, 2011) – CRANE Energy Flow Solutions will showcase its trusted solutions for the fuel ethanol industry at the 2011 Fuel Ethanol Workshop & Expo in Indianapolis, IN, June 27-30 (Booth #407).  The products CRANE will have on display include its Center Line® Resilient Seated Butterfly Valve, Duo-Chek® High Performance Check Valve and Flowseal® High Performance Butterfly Valve.

“As the ethanol production industry has grown, CRANE has been an active participant and supplier, contributing to the success of processing plants for a number of years.  We invest every day in our products in order to promote continuous performance improvement so that we can exceed the growing demands of our customers,” said Joel Eberlein, Business Line Manager, CRANE Energy Flow Solutions.  “Therefore we appreciate the opportunity to support the industry by participating in the Fuel Ethanol Workshop & Expo again this year.”

CRANE has a large installed base of over 60,000 valves operating in 80 plants within the Fuel Ethanol Market.  The range of innovations CRANE Energy Flow Solutions will showcase from its various trusted brands include the following:

Duo-Chek® High Performance Check Valves
Featuring a lightweight and compact wafer design, the Duo-Chek Wafer Check Valve is a stronger, more efficient solution for the fuel ethanol industry than conventional swing check valves.  Its retainerless design virtually eliminates body penetration, and its hinge support sleeve reduces friction and improves performance.  Duo-Chek Check Valves provide superior backflow and water hammer protection for pumps in the Fuel Ethanol Market.

Flowseal® High Performance Butterfly Valve
Manufactured under an ISO 9001 Quality Assurance Program, the Flowseal High Performance Butterfly Valve features a high performance shut off and modulating service for standard industrial process lines. Customizable, this valve is available in multiple construction options including Carbon and Stainless Steels, in sizes up to 48”, in both wafer and lugged body styles, and in ASME pressure classes 150, 300 and 600.

Center Line® Resilient Seated Butterfly Valve
The Center Line brand has been a market leader in quarter-turn valves for over 40 years.  Its resilient seated butterfly valve is suitable for both gaseous and liquid service and seats are easily replaced in the field.  Key features include a positive bi-directional shutoff, as well as direct mount automation.

CRANE’s Technical Paper No. 410 (TP-410)
Additionally, CRANE will showcase the updated 2009 edition of its Technical Paper No. 410 (TP-410).  The TP-410 is a technical resource for engineers, designers and engineering students that explains the flow of fluid through valves, pipes and fittings to aid in the appropriate selection of equipment for piping systems. Several copies will be raffled off at the CRANE Energy Flow Solutions booth (#407) during the Fuel Ethanol Workshop & Expo.
