We recently solved a valve problem in a Lithium Processing facility. This facility was experiencing early control valve issues due to abrasive slurry, crystallization, and internal fouling. Conventional globe control valves were sticking as lithium crust formed on internal surfaces.

A DSS Severe Service Control Valve replaced one of the failing valves and operated reliably under the same conditions. With a straight-through flow path and a guided shear gate design, the DSS solution maintained consistent control where conventional designs struggled.

Read the case study to learn how DSS valves perform in abrasive and fouling applications:

We’re excited to announce that Jim Pellegrini has been appointed President of DSS Valves!

Jim has been involved in the development of the Guided Shear Gate Valve for most of his life — he truly lives and breathes this technology. Walk through our assembly line or manufacturing facility, and you’ll see his influence everywhere. Many of the people who build our valves today are connected to Jim through family ties, decades-long friendships, or shared history in the industry. That says everything about the loyalty, respect, and trust he’s earned over the years.

Jim has dedicated his career to improving this critical technology and is directly responsible for several of the game-changing innovations found in today’s DSS Valves. If you look at the build options on almost any Severe Service Knife Gate Valve, chances are you can trace those ideas back to Jimmy in one way or another.

We’re incredibly excited to have him leading the ship — and couldn’t be prouder. Please join us in congratulating Jim on this well-deserved role.
