Trillium Flow Technologies™ (Trillium) offers a comprehensive range of innovative valve solutions that can help customers maximize operations in terms of efficiency, reliability, and sustainability, including fugitive gas emissions reduction. 

Trillium offers Sarasin-RSBD® spring-loaded pressure relief valves with a reliable and robust design that can be customized with a soft seat that remains tight up to 93% of the setpoint. 

It also offers more advanced solutions with the pilot-operated design. With its 30% larger dome seal area compared to the inlet seat, it remains perfectly tight up to 98% of the setpoint and maintains its no-leakage advantages in any operating conditions. 

Pilot-operated valves can handle higher pressures and capacities at equivalent sizes compared with the spring-loaded type and allow the use of fewer valves for the same application, thus reducing the overall risk of leaks. Moreover, their modulating action pilots make it possible to reduce the total quantity of fluid discharged and the related fugitive emissions in an overpressure scenario. Since leak-free operation is a market priority, Trillium also offers a pipeless pilot-operated design to better control fugitive emissions from the valve itself. 

Process and qualifications play an important role, too. Pure helium tests can be carried out to measure the internal seat and external tightness in accordance with ISO 15848-2. The technicians who perform those tests are qualified for Level II in accordance with ASNT-SNT-TC-1A or equivalent. 

Trillium also offers a comprehensive portfolio of customized isolation and control/choke valve solutions that assist customers in achieving their fugitive emission reduction goals. Our Red Point®, Batley®, Blakeborough®, and Hopkinsons® valves are designed to comply with ISO 15848-1, which specifies testing procedures for the evaluation of external leakage of valve stem seals and body joints of isolating and control valves intended for use in volatile air pollutants and hazardous fluids. High-quality packing systems are used, certified to API 622, TA-luft / VDI 2440, SPE 77/312 class A & B, depending on the product. 

Sometimes, a stem packing alone is not enough protection. In those cases, bellows sealed valves can be provided. This creates a metal hermetical seal, preventing the medium from reaching the stem packing.  

Trillium also offers service solutions for valves that result in fugitive emissions reduction. Such solutions include the upgrading of flare valves on separation systems for end-users in the oil and gas market. 

With a product portfolio of world-class brands and thousands of valves installed worldwide, Trillium has the experience and technological know-how to provide solutions for its customer's project challenges.
