FULL LIFT PRESSURE / VACUUM RELIEF VALVE
The most notable advantage of the Groth Full Lift Type Valve Compared to Standard Pressure/Vacuum Relief Valves is its’ ability to open at overpressure while standard Pressure/Vacuum Relief Valves achieve full open capacity at 100% overpressure. The use of a Full Lift Type Valve allows the user to select the valve set pressure (vacuum) within 10% of the tank Maximum Allowable Working Pressure (vacuum). This is important because operation near the tank design pressure greatly reduces the breathing losses of the product in the tank.
A Full Lift Type Valve is a relief valve which attains full stable lift at only 10% overpressure. Like all Groth Pressure/Vacuum Relief Valves, the Full Lift Type Valve is a modulating valve which offers near zero blowdown, meaning it reseats near set pressure. These performance capabilities are possible due to the harmonization of the nozzle, seating, and pallet areas such that the valve will achieve stable lift at only 10% above the set pressure/vacuum.
BENEFITS
Ability to operate process closer to Tank MAWP, increasing operating range of process
Minimal seat leakage to prevent fugitive emission and conserve tank product
Narrow valve operating range (from seal to full open) maximizes tank operating range and reduces total vapor emissions
Stable lift ensures that the venting requirements of the process are reliably met
Reduced seat leakage, low overpressure, and near zero blowdown characteristics to allow for process maintenance, minimal product loss and better tank corrosion maintenance
Available in aluminum, carbon steel and stainless steel

Assentech- Geodesic Dome Installation
Assentech were subcontracted to assemble and install a 25m geodesic dome for Shaft G on the Lee Tunnel project. My experience with Assentech from pre-contract through to assembly has been very positive. Unlike other subcontractors I have experienced on this project, Assentech had a very positive attitude to producing the level of documentation required for a project of this scale. Leading to a high quality pre construction packaged approved in a timely manner. The communication regarding the manufacturing process was first class allowing us to easily plan our works and prepare the site. Dome assembly was carried out very efficiently and completed to programme. The task was correctly resourced and well supervised. The work force had a positive attitude and carried out the task safely. In summary from my perspective it has been a very easy subcontract to manage with a high quality finished product.

Assentech-IFR Installations at Navigator Terminals
Assentech have supported our Navigator Terminal (formerly known as Vopak Teesside) on two important projects by providing technical assistance and supplying and fitting a total of 11 Internal floating roofs. Both projects have been completed on schedule and on budget. Assentech have provided an excellent level of experience and front end engineering support with high quality drawings and documentation. Their specialist on site labour have worked collaboratively with us and Assentech have proven to be open, honest and flexible partners.
We have experience of both their Heavy Duty Pontoon type and Full Contact IFR’s and we continually monitor operation and performance of all lFR units Installed on site and consider the Assentech supplied Matrix brandto be the best in the market with exceptional build quality and rigidity. Our clients have inspected the installations and have always remarked upon the build quality and have been impressed with their strength in fully supporting up to four people without noticeable deformation. The design and construction of their stainless steel shoe seals continue to prove to operate excellently with no noticeable reduction in performance or flotation ability over the time since Installation.
Assentsch have proven to be extremely competitive on price and their installation and inspection activities have always been thorough. Navigator therefore have no hesitation in recommending Assentech to other companies considering their services.
