You may refer to a “Think Tank” as some type of research institute; however, when applied to valve troubleshooting and repairs, the approach can be a game changer—with significant returns on improved safety, lower costs, improved reliability, and more.
This particular "Think Tank" was the brainchild of one of Scallon Controls’ customers, whose goal was to invent a “Valve Improvement Team”. The team included Scallon Controls, because they had access to all the valve repair history, in addition to local knowledge, having worked at this facility for decades.
