In this guide, we’ll explore the anatomy of a BMD control valve , breaking down the core components and highlighting what makes our products stand out in demanding applications. What Is a Control Valve? A control valve is a mechanical device that regulates the flow of fluid—such as oil, gas, steam, or water—by varying the size of the flow passage in response to signals from a control system. These valves allow for continuous modulation, unlike isolation valves, which are either fully open or fully closed. Why Control Valves Matter in Oil and Gas In the oil and gas sector, precision and reliability are everything. Control valves must: Maintain steady volume levels Regulate temperature via fluid control Ensure consistent flow rates Respond quickly to changes in process conditions Operate under high-pressure, high-temperature, and corrosive environments BMD’s valves are engineered specifically for these needs. Whether you’re operating in the Permian Basin or offshore platforms, our valves help you maintain safe, smooth, and optimized processes. Core Components of a BMD Control Valve A control valve is more than the sum of its parts—it’s a fully integrated system designed for optimal control and longevity. Here’s a closer look at each component in a BMD valve and the value it brings to the table. Valve Body The valve body is the primary pressure-retaining structure and the base of the control valve. It houses internal components and provides the flow path for the process fluid. BMD Valve Body Features: Materials: High-grade cast or forged carbon steel, stainless steel. Designs: Globe-style and angle-body configurations to suit different space and flow requirements. Compliance: All valve bodies Designed in accordance with ASME and other piping code standards. Actuator The actuator converts a control signal into mechanical motion, moving the valve plug, disc, or ball to modulate the flow. BMD Actuator Options: Pneumatic Actuators: Reliable even in remote locations with limited power sources. Actuators are available as either Reverse Acting (Fail-Closed) or Direct Acting (Fail-Open) to default to a safe position in power loss situations. Electric Actuator: An emissions-free device. Trim Assembly The trim refers to the internal elements directly responsible for flow control, including the plug, seat, and stem. These components determine the valve’s flow characteristic and shut off performance.

Introduction In oil and gas production facilities, flow and level control are critical for maintaining operational integrity, optimizing production rates, and ensuring equipment protection. Flow control involves regulating the movement of oil, gas, water, and other fluids through pipelines and processing equipment. This is typically achieved using specialized control valves that adjust the rate and pressure of flow based on real-time operational requirements. Level controls, on the other hand, ensure that liquid levels in storage tanks or process vessels stay within specified limits to avoid overflow, underflow,, which can lead to hazardous situations or damage equipment. Flow and level control are interdependent. For example, an increased liquid discharge rate without corresponding flow control adjustments can destabilize separator pressure regimes, affecting downstream gas handling systems. Similarly, changes in flow rates can impact fluid levels in storage tanks. Therefore, precise and dynamic integration of these controls is mandatory to avoid process upsets due to unstable flow rates, fluctuating pressure levels, or unsafe liquid levels. Improper valve actuation or sluggish level control can lead to severe consequences, including over-pressurization, hydrocarbon release, inefficient separation, and mechanical failures. In the inherently hazardous oil and gas sector, accurate level control plays a crucial role in safeguarding operations while optimizing efficiency.

Control valves are the final control elements in automatic control loops that regulate fluid flow to ensure stable operating conditions in oil and gas equipment such as separators, scrubbers, tanks and other process vessels. They function by varying the flow area through the valve trim—consisting of the plug, seat, and stem—tailored to flow characteristics like linear or quick opening. Actuators adjust the plug position based on controller signals, changing the opening size and enabling precise, predictable control of fluid movement for optimal performance. BMD provides an extensive selection of control valves tailored for oil and gas applications, suitable for diverse pressure, temperature, and flow control needs. Key features are as follows: Pressure Rating: BMD control valves are categorized into high-pressure and low-pressure variants. High-pressure control valves are rated up to ANSI 1500# for valve sizes up to 4 inches, whereas high-pressure valves with a size of 6 inches are available with an ANSI rating of up to 600#. BMD low-pressure valves are offered in pressure ratings of 250 psi, 300 psi, and 500 psi for sizes up to 4 inches. Material Selection: BMD control valves are manufactured from carefully selected materials to address critical factors such as sour service, corrosion resistance, erosion resistance, and operational conditions, including pressure and temperature. Valve bodies are primarily made from ASTM A216 WCC for standard applications and ASTM A352 LCC for low-temperature environments. Valve trims are offered in various stainless-steel grades, such as 440C, 316, and 304, with specialized carbide trims providing enhanced erosion resistance. Packing plugs are generally manufactured from nickel- or zinc-plated ASTM A105 steel, ensuring durability and reliable performance. Leakage Class: All our high-pressure valves are rated to meet at minimum ANSI Class IV leakage standard, which represents the industry benchmark for metal-seated oil and gas control valves. BMD’s high- pressure CV30 model is available with a soft seat option rated for ANSI Class VI, while all the low-pressure valves are available with soft seats, ensuring leak-lightness at shutoff. Valve Flow Characteristics: BMD control valves are offered with Equal Percent, Linear, and Quick Open characteristics, catering to control requirements ranging from precise modulation to rapid discharge actions. Additionally, we provide valve models with modified percentage characteristics, designed for applications that require accurate throttling at low capacities while ensuring consistent performance at higher capacities. Actuation: All BMD control valves are designed for pneumatic actuation. Standout examples demonstrating BMD’s expertise in combining innovative design with robust construction are the CV10/CV15 control valve models. These compact, cage-guided valves are designed for a wide range of applications, including pressure, level, and flow control. Their unique design makes them ideal for wellhead service as well as conventional level control applications in separators, scrubbers, and other production equipment. The CV10/CV15 design features a hammer union that simplifies maintenance by enabling the topworks to be removed without taking the valve out of line.

For abrasive conditions, such as oil and gas wells with high sand concentrations in the flow, the CV10/CV15 can be equipped with a sand body and a replaceable plug, ensuring enhanced durability and reliability. The CV10 is a close coupled designed and the CV15 is an open yoke design as shown in Figure 1. What Are Level Controls and What Does BMD Offer? BMD level controllers measure liquid levels using sensors such as floats or displacers. The float-type sensor relies on a buoyant device attached to a lever or linkage that moves as the liquid level changes. This movement is transmitted to the control mechanism, which sends a pneumatic or electrical signal to the level control valve. These signals cause the valve to open or close, regulating the outflow of liquid to maintain the desired level. Similarly, the displacer-type level controller operates on the same principle. It uses a displacer suspended in the liquid. As the liquid level changes, the buoyant force acting on the displacer varies, causing movement in the sensing mechanism. This movement generates a pneumatic or electric signal to adjust the control valve. BMD also offers a purely mechanical level controller. The LC70 level controller features a large float, linkage rod, and levers to mechanically operate a dump valve through rotational connections. Paired with BMD’s CV45 mechanical valve, the LC70 offers a cost-effective, emissions-free level control and dump system, since the control valve does not need a separate actuator. Figure 2 shows a typical level control arrangement using the BMD LC70/CV45 combination.
