Let’s talk starting air system safety. Do your Recips have safety systems to shut a unit down if the starting air valve is leaking? This crispy critter is all that remains of a Worthington ML-7 starting air valve that leaked. It literally turned into a blow torch, melted half the valve and torched a hole through the starting air header. At the EGCR, we talk about this system and so much more. Join us at the Eastern Gas Compression Roundtable, September 14-16, 2021 at the David Lawrence Convention Center in downtown Pittsburgh, PA or contact us for more information.
