Product catalog summary
Introduction
Becker control valve assemblies have been a staple in the natural gas industry since 1955, known for their reliability and precision. These systems include control valves, regulators, actuators, and pneumatic controls, all supported by advanced engineering technology.
Regulator System Components
The system's components work together to maintain desired process set points like pressure and flow rate. Key components include:
  • Valve Regulator: The Becker ZERO BLEED Valve Regulator Pilot (VRP) acts as a controller and positioner.
  • Actuator/Pneumatic Controls: Adjusts the control valve with minimal atmospheric bleed.
  • Control Valve: Manages fluid flow to control pressure differential, flow rates, velocity, and noise.
T-Ball Control Valve Advantages
These valves offer several benefits over cage-style valves, including a self-cleaning design, bi-directional flow, high capacity, and below-ground installation to reduce noise and infrastructure needs.
Advanced Technology and Products
The T-Ball control valve, combined with Becker actuation, addresses applications requiring noise reduction, high pressure differential, and reduced emissions.
Trim Selection
Various trims are available for specific needs, such as high mass flow rates or high pressure differential with noise attention.
Series V-0 Control Valve
This compact, environmentally friendly valve is designed for mild duty regulation in gas applications.
Actuators
Becker offers several actuators, including:
  • RPSR Rotary Piston Spring Return Actuator: Maintenance-free and eliminates bleed gas emissions.
  • RPDA Rotary Piston Double Acting Actuator: Offers precision with a linear scale.
  • Linear Series Actuators: Suitable for various pressure applications.
Valve Regulator Pilot (VRP)
The VRP maintains control within 0.75% of the desired setpoint and eliminates emissions with the Bleed to Pressure System.
Environmental Commitment
Becker focuses on sustainable technology, reducing noise and emissions through advanced valve designs.
Combustion Turbine Power Plants
The control valve system manages varying gas flow rates to meet emission requirements and prevent turbine trips.
Accessories
The MCV Series Manual Control Valve allows manual operation of pneumatic valve actuators.
MCV Specifications
The MCV allows users to override primary control instrumentation with safety features and varying pressure capabilities.
Gear Operator Override
A manual handwheel is used for small and medium-sized control valves when pneumatic power is unavailable.
No-Bleed Valve NBV Series
This series eliminates bleed gas when the control valve is fully open or closed, ideal for long-term positions.
PS-2 Series Non-Bleed Sensor
Eliminates bleed gas at full-open or full-closed positions for high-pressure applications.
PIC & GSP Series Pressure Instrumentation Columns
These columns provide regulated supply pressures for control valves in natural gas applications.

For control valve instrumentation that is obsolete, providing poor control or exhibiting high emissions—a Becker VRP can easily replace instrumentation on an existing control valve in service. Studies have shown that pneumatic control valve instrumentation annually can vent up to 500,000 scf of methane into the environment. Maintaining a sustainable, environmentally friendly operation is becoming an increasingly top priority for many pipeline operator. A single VRP retrofit can potentially reduce or even eliminate those emissions with the Bleed to Pressure System. This reduction is equivalent...
