Protect piping, instrumentation, equipment, and personnel with self-actuating thermostatic solutions.
View ProductsTemperature Control for Refineries and Terminals
Oil refineries, terminals, and tank farms depend on reliable temperature management to keep fluids moving, protect instrumentation and equipment, and maintain safe operating conditions. Cold temperatures can freeze exposed piping and instrumentation, inadequate tracing can affect fluid temperature and flow, and excessive sample temperatures can damage downstream analyzers.
ThermOmegaTech® provides self-actuating thermostatic valves and equipment that respond directly to temperature without external power or electronic controls. This mechanical operation provides automatic temperature-based control for tracing, instrumentation, equipment protection, and personnel safety applications throughout oil and gas facilities.

Applications We Support
Steam Tracing Control
Control minimum fluid temperatures in process lines, transfer piping, instrumentation, and other temperature-sensitive systems. Thermostatic steam tracing valves automatically regulate steam flow based on temperature, supplying heat when needed to prevent fluids from falling below the required temperature while reducing unnecessary steam consumption.
Freeze Protection
Maintain operation of exposed piping, condensate systems, instrumentation, and emergency safety equipment during freezing conditions. Thermostatic freeze protection valves automatically respond to low temperatures to prevent freezing, helping avoid damaged components, unplanned downtime, and costly repairs without relying on manual freeze-prevention measures.
Scald Protection
Prevent excessively hot water from reaching emergency showers and eyewash stations exposed to high ambient temperatures or solar heating. Thermostatic scald protection valves automatically discharge overheated water from the supply line, allowing cooler water to replace it to help protect personnel and keep emergency fixtures within the required tepid water range.
Instrument Enclosure Temperature Control
Use an available steam supply to maintain appropriate temperatures inside analyzer and instrument enclosures. Self-actuating thermostatic valves automatically control steam flow based on enclosure temperature, eliminating electric heaters and the associated power requirements, maintenance, and replacement.
Tepid Water Delivery
Provide reliable tepid water for emergency showers and eyewash stations to help meet OSHA and ANSI requirements. Therm-O-Mix® Stations use an available steam and water supply to deliver tepid water on demand without electricity, providing a compact, spark-proof solution where electrical equipment may be restricted.
High-Temperature Sample Shutoff
Protect analyzers and sampling equipment from process samples that exceed allowable temperature limits. HST thermostatic shutoff valves provide automatic over-temperature protection by stopping sample flow when temperatures become too high, preventing hot process fluids from reaching and damaging critical downstream instrumentation.
Pump Seal Water Control
Provide reliable seal cooling and quench water flow on process and other pumps while reducing unnecessary water consumption. EcoFlow® automatically responds to seal temperature to supply water only when cooling is required, reducing water use while eliminating reliance on operators to turn seal water on and off.
Why Self-Actuating Technology?
Automatic Temperature Control Without External Power
ThermOmegaTech® valves respond directly to temperature without electricity, sensors, or electronic controls. This mechanical operation provides automatic flow control for tracing, instrumentation, equipment protection, and personnel safety applications across refineries, terminals, and tank farms.
- No external power or electronic controls
- Direct response to local temperature conditions
- Pressure-independent operation
- Fewer control components to maintain
- Suitable for remote and exposed installations
- Continues operating during power interruptions
