3 and 4 Inch High Flow Back Pressure Regulators


Equilibar has expanded its standard offerings of back pressure regulators to include 3 and 4-inch body sizes. Prompted by successful experiences with customers using larger Back Pressure Regulators (BPR's) for expanded capacity, Equilibar has increased flow capacity without compromising the precision pressure control component of its most popular pressure regulator. This ability means that a successful research-scale project may now be taken to pilot plant and even on to a full capacity project without a deterioration in quality. For example, laboratory research reactors may be scaled to pilot plant sizes without the uncertainty of changing pressure control technologies.



"The implications of this development are far-reaching," noted David Reed. "Fuel cell research can be scaled to power city buses or hospital back-up power stations. Pilot plant operations may be scaled successfully to full production valve sizes without worrying that the pressure control will change process variables."



Of course, all sizes of Equilibar® BPRs retain the same elegant design and simple in-line maintenance procedures. We invite existing Equilibar customers with potential applications for our larger regulators to call and speak directly with an Equilibar engineer to see if we can meet your needs.
