Overview

The patented 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 AOGV mechanical isolation system was used to allow replacement of a passing valve on a Butane storage and export system on one of the largest processing plants in Europe. The use of the AOGV mechanical isolation system avoided substantial conventional isolation and gas-freeing activities, saving time and cost, as well as mitigating significant environmental impacts.
