For a site to be productive, profitable and efficient, the assets that operate within it must be continually available, even if power is lost. This white paper will examine the role that improvements in battery technology can offer to keep a site operating at its optimum level. The value of battery technology within electric valve actuation is substantial. Flow control assets are often at the core of a site, providing key reliable operation and safety functions, and their downtime can be costly and disruptive, impacting reputation and output yield and quality. Flow control assets are key equipment in applications across oil and gas, water and power, and chemical, process and industrial applications; battery technology can help them all in operating at peak efficiency and productivity.
