3 Expertise in Ball Valves for the Oil Processing Argus ball valves are recognized all over the oil processing industry for their outstanding durability and reliability. Argus is the brand to trust and rely on for the most severe service applications. The Argus design provides important advantages, such as reduced torque up to half less, compared to other ball valves on the market, which makes the required actuator size smaller, and reduces weightachieving significant savings in the overall investment. At the same time, improving the lifetime of the system. Since 1953 when Argus introduced the first ball valve in Europe, it has been at the vanguard of the ball valve development for severe service applications. This postition of leadership and expertise has been constantly reinforced, introducing to the market exceptional full metal-to-metal ball valves exceeding bubble tight, class VI shut-off. Full metal sealing systems made of different materials and alloys are extremely durable and keep their sealing capabilities much longer, as compared to other sealing systems. The ARGUS design and manufacturing technology, based on a vast experience designing and constructing exceptional metal seated ball valves, assures a long life of ball and seats, even under extreme conditions, keeping the ARGUS traditional feature of zero leakage, bubble tight as a standard without maintenance requirements for outstanding periods. 3

8 The unique Argus ball valve design Argus ball valves include many innovative design features meeting the highest standards in valve technology requirements including API-6D and ANSI Bodies are all forged and totally machined inside. Long life double stem seal. Stem is supported by bearings to ensure seals are free from operating loads. EPA approved stem seal Certified leakage: < 1 ppm Integrated Stuffing Box with additional packing on top Anti-blowout design Complies with ISO EPA Fugitive Emissions requirements 8

9 Argus Trunnion design features Argus trunnion ball valves are designed for the highest demands. 2-3 piece split body with superfine finished trunnion mounted ball, spring-loaded ball seats, cavity relief and anti-static device. Long life double stem seal system and stem supported by bearings to ensure seals are free from operating load. Firesafe to API 607 5th edition, and BS 6755 Fugitive emissions < 1 PPM, environmental protection according to ISO Trunnion blocks support the weight of the ball and lock the ball into the body. Trunnion bearings absorb side load. Seats act only as a seal Live loaded (spring) seats. Longer coating life for the ball and seats is achieved due to low friction of the trunnion design. Valve requires smaller actuator due to low torque needed to stroke. Stem acts only as a drive mechanism. Bi-directional. Bubble-tight sealing. Secondary Graphoil Seal Trunnion bearings and seals support all lateral loads Inlet Seal Seats do not support the weight of the ball and act only as a seal Annular springs, live-load for the seats Primary seal according to EPA PTFE barrier primary double seal, Secondary Graphoil seal Additional PTFE barrier to avoid dust penetrating into the trunion cavity. Forged body Trunnion blocks support the weight of the ball and keep it in position Purge 9
