Forbes Marshall ARCA has launched a new Control Valve, which is synonymous with quality, efficiency, weight and ease of maintenance. The Ecotrol, the Next Gen Control Valve is a robust, compact and light weight control valve with a pneumatically operated, easy field reversible multi-spring diaphragm actuator and a sturdy, pipe-less and vibration resistant mounted digital positioner. The valve is also available with handwheel option.

The 10 Commandments Ecotrol Development

• Reliability: scores the highest in terms of the company's commitment and experience of over 50 years
• Catering to Customers' Requirements: the product has been developed keeping in mind the exact customer needs, considering the customers' feedback, which have been incorporated into the design of this control valve
• Progress: tubeless mounting, with the digital positioner is of the second generation with the option of bi-directional communication
• Flexibility: it's the invention of a compact, pipe-less, vibration resistant digital positioner, mounting, which guarantees quick assembly and high reliability for all actuator functions, with the options of tube mounting for pneumatic, electro-pneumatic positioners and robots
• Cost of Ownership: minimum operating and maintenance costs due to its optimum design
• Environmental Awareness: this has been taken care of by a stem sealing that meets today's requirement of providing a corrosion resistant stuffing box area
• Efficiency: double use of auxiliary energy by using the tried and tested pneumatic multi-spring diaphragm actuator with the option of a permanent spring case ventilation
• Universal: design according to ANSI, with standardised trims, and
• Precision: avoiding misalignment between actuator and valve guiding by applying the latest CNC manufacturing techniques.

The 'magic triangle': shortening the delivery time, minimising the cost with high technical value, improvements and quality.

The Profitable Solution

• Excellent performance in liquid and gas applications.
• Extended lifetime due to double-side use by reversing the seat ring (10)
• Easy and fast assembly, maintenance without any special tools
• Low cost to performance ratio
• Prevention of leakage and bypass leakage by a limited compressive load acting on both encapsulated gaskets
• Multiple material options, and
• Optimal flow conditions by seat retaining cage.

These are suitable for applications in: oil and gas; chemical and petrochemical; pharma; distillery and food; fertilizer; steel and metal; and power sector.
