Overview

The patented Izomax AOGV mechanical isolation system installs a barrier between a flange pair on a pressurized system whilst in continuous operation. Unlike alternative isolation technologies, the AOGV allows our customers to safely isolate process segments for inspection, maintenance, or repair without a cashflow shutdown!

The Izomax team facilitated the replacement of 7 butterfly valves on storage tank tops using a prototype AOGV system which was specifically designed for the project. The valve replacements were performed while the system was operational. Because all of the valves were connected to the same header, utilising the AOGV system prevented production shutdown. Significant reductions in preparation time, gas-freeing and emptying of inventory with the associated mitigation of environmental impacts were also accomplished by choosing the unique Izomax solution.
