2. Zahroof Valves Inc. (ZVI)
ZVI Designs, manufactures and markets the StraightFloTM valve
Patented, drop-in replacement compressor valve
• 1.5”to 14+” diameter. Brand agnostic.
• 250 rpm to 3600+ rpm, 4350 psi DP max, -300 to 450F temperature
• Industry leading 10 year warranty on stainless steel housing
• Module warranty – 5 years slow speed pipeline, 2 years – downstream
Value Proposition
• Improves reliability (service interval) by ~ 2x – 10x. 100% guaranteed.
• Reduces compressor power by 3 – 15% (Green Technology/Emissions).
• Increases throughput by 3 -15% where engine is maxed out.
• Simplifies service, 5-10 minutes/valve onsite, no machining. TCO
• Reduces inventory by ~80%
• Enables valve rental/lease programs.
Applications/Markets (Onshore, offshore, contract, OEM)
• Natural gas (production, gathering, transmission, storage/injection &
distribution) shale gas, acid gas, Coal gas, CNG
• Refinery, petrochemical, Industrial gas, PET, Air, Refrigeration
• CO2 – CSS, EOR
• Multi-phase compression (wet gas, LNG, Ammonia)

Unloader - Hollow Piston Unloader - Poppet
Open /
Unloaded
Piston is at top dead
center. Gas passes
from cylinder through
piston to the suction
port.
Closed / Loaded
Piston is at bottom
position. The piston
blocks the passage of
gas.
