Maintenance for Flow Control Actuators in Severe Service Applications

16 Sep 2025  |
Flow control is critical for tanks and terminals to operate efficiently and safely. Effective flow control can reduce emissions, ensure safety, and improve efficiency and yield, regardless of the application.

Poor flow control maintenance can lead to operational disruption, so keeping flow control equipment, such as actuators, in peak condition is critical. 

The aim is to increase uptime and optimise the required maintenance. Taking equipment out of operation is costly, in addition to the cost of parts and labour. 

Insufficient maintenance increases the risk of breakdowns, leading to yield loss, environmental damage and potential health and safety hazards. 

One effective solution to preventing this is on-site maintenance. This approach allows crucial servicing to be performed without the need for a plant shutdown.

Rotork’s Reliability Services is a customisable maintenance plan designed to help customers improve the reliability and availability of their flow control equipment. Rotork engineers undertake maintenance on an annual basis using OEM parts and consumables. Three tiers are available, providing progressively increased levels of coverage and support.

The benefits of a Reliability Services plan include:

  • Reduced downtime
  • Enhanced safety
  • Data-driven decision making
  • Improved actuator performance
  • Reduced maintenance costs
  • Extended actuator lifespan
