Schutte & Koerting

Schutte & Koerting has more than a century of experience in the design and manufacture of steam jet vacuum systems, steam jet heaters, exhausters and compressors, scrubber systems, desuperheaters, thermocompressors, eductors and syphons, ejectors, and valves.

S&K maintains an experienced staff of design and test engineers to solve the most challenging vacuum process requirements. The company’s ability to design both standard product and custom equipment has been the basis for its longevity and success.

Our customers benefit from the staff of Engineers, Administrators, Managers, and the extensive network of sales and service offices located around the world. We serve the Chemical, Petroleum, Petrochemical, Food, Pulp and Paper, Power, Metal Refining, Water and Waste Treatment Industries, among others.

S&K Valves are designed to give minimum pressure loss consistent with the type of valve and service conditions. Full channel areas, partitions included in the direction of flow, elimination of obstruction guides through body and seat, and ample disc lift, all contribute to a low pressure drop for normal flow rates based on valve size. With more than 100 years’ experience in research, design, and construction in the valve industry, S&K continues to support the thousands of custom Valves currently in the field and continues to manufacture Valves to the process and power industries.

• Check Valves
  (prevent backflow in steam, air, or water lines. Used extensively in extraction lines from steam turbines, feedwater heaters, heating systems, process equipment, lines from heat exchangers and auxiliaries to nuclear reactors)
• Throttle Trip Valves
  (dual function valves that control flow to steam turbines during start-up and shut-down and provide emergency protection by closing automatically and instantaneously when a trip condition is detected)
• Three-Way Valves
  (two position valves designed to divert flow from one pipeline to another)
• Dual Plug Valves
  (typically used to divert, restrict or completely shut off flow in oil cooler in power plant applications)
• Pressure Relief Valves
  (quick-opening, quick-closing valves used to protect equipment from gas pressure build up or pressure surges)

General Applications:

Reverse flow prevention in process line; Turbine protection as bleeder non-return valves for electric utilities; Feedwater heater bypass; Steam turbine start-up and shut-down; Steam turbine emergency protection; Isolation of oil coolers in power plant systems; Equipment protection from over-pressurization; System protection from pressure surges.
