Flow Control Solutions for Refining

FCX Performance is a premier partner in the refinery industry specializing in providing top-tier flow control solutions to help you maintain operational excellence. Our extensive range of valves, actuators, and control systems are designed to meet the rigorous demands of the refining process, enhancing safety and optimizing performance.  

With decades of experience and a commitment to excellence, we deliver performance-driven solutions tailored to your separation, conversion, treatment, and blending needs. Discover how we can deliver better results for your refinery.  

We engineer custom flow control solutions across the entire spectrum of industrial refining, including petrochemical, topping, conversion, deep conversion, and hydro-skimming facilities. Our team crafts dependable and durable solutions, from safety relief valves to specialized metallurgy. We offer a wide range of products and services tailored to your specific operation's needs, regardless of refining type. Here's a closer look at how we support these applications: 

• Alkylation: Creates high-octane gasoline (alkylate) through precise control of feedstock flow, temperature, and separation. 

• Blending: The final stage where various petroleum streams are precisely mixed to create the desired finished product.  

• Coker Units: Cokers are processing units that take leftover residual oil from the vacuum distillation column and transform it into more valuable products. 

• Cracking: thermal or catalytic processes to break down high-molecular weight hydrocarbons present in crude oil into smaller, more commercially valuable products. 

• Catalytic Reforming: catalytic reforming uses a platinum catalyst to reshape low-octane naphtha molecules through isomerization, cyclization, and dehydrogenation, producing high-octane reformate for gasoline blending and valuable byproduct hydrogen. 

We are a premium provider of valves for refineries and automation solutions. Our other areas of expertise include lined pipes, filtration, hose and pumps.
