Valve performance.
Made visible.

A valve can look serviceable and still leak. Vent-Less helps you see the difference through measured test results.

Our smart test benches measure pressure and vacuum valve performance and leakage, with digital test certificates to support maintenance and replacement decisions.

  • Pressure and vacuum set-point checks
  • Leak-rate measurement and test records
  • Fixed and mobile test-bench options
  • Technical support and reporting

03 / The Assentech approach

Understand the system.
Improve the outcome.

The right component starts with the right engineering questions. We connect equipment selection, installation and in-service performance.

01

Start with the duty

Consider the stored product, operating conditions, tank geometry and the existing equipment.

02

Specify with confidence

Get technical input on selection, suitability and installation, with clear supporting documentation.

03

Support the operating life

Use inspection and measured performance to plan maintenance, repairs and future improvements that limit vapour loss and product waste.

BASFTank Storage – End User

“We have now been using a Vent-Less Test Bench for over a year, testing approximately 10 valves per day. The automatic function is extremely helpful because we can mount the valve and start the test while attending to other tasks until the test is complete, providing a significant time-saving benefit to our very busy workshop. The bench is easy to use, and we believe the instant availability of a test certificate with a full pressure profile and environmental leak volume facilitates informed decision-making when valves reach the end of their life. We are delighted that the independence of test results and easy calibration checks ensure accurate and consistent results every time. We would recommend this technology to anyone considering the reliability and environmental performance of their tank farm.”

“We have been using two Vent-Less Test Benches for around 18 months now and have found that their speed of operation, accuracy, and repeatability of results have significantly improved our busy maintenance activities across both refineries. The investment in this equipment was substantial and attracted the attention of our CEO during a recent visit. I was delighted to demonstrate how this game-changing technology is providing critical functional operation and emissions certification and data.”

Navigator Terminals Seal SandsTank Storage – End User

Assentech supported our Navigator Terminal (formerly Vopak Teesside) on two key projects, providing technical assistance and supplying/fitting 11 internal floating roofs. Both projects were delivered on time and within budget. They provided strong front-end engineering support with high-quality drawings and documentation, and their specialist site teams worked collaboratively with us. Throughout, Assentech have proven to be open, honest and flexible partners.

We have experience of both their Heavy Duty Pontoon and Full Contact IFRs, and we continuously monitor the performance of all IFR units on site. We consider the Assentech-supplied Matrix brand to be best in the market for build quality and rigidity. Client inspections have consistently highlighted the strength of the installations, including the ability to support up to four people without noticeable deformation. Their stainless-steel shoe seals have continued to operate excellently, with no noticeable reduction in performance or flotation over time.

Assentech have also been very competitive on price, and their installation and inspection work has always been thorough. Navigator has no hesitation in recommending Assentech to other companies.

As you said “you delivered what it said on the tin”. On time and on budget. Your up front engineering to determine the suitability of your product for our application was second to none, i have not seen anyone else in the industry pay as much attention to detail before you get the purchase order number as Assentech.

We were extremely pleased with the level of service and professionalism demonstrated by Assentech, right from our initial enquiry, through delivery and post installation. As a recipient of only two of these awards made by Eastman Chemical Company in the UK, based on performance in 2014, Assentech are rightly proud of their achievements.

Assentech were subcontracted to assemble and install a 25m geodesic dome for Shaft G on the Lee Tunnel project. My experience with Assentech from pre-contract through to assembly has been very positive. Unlike other subcontractors I have experienced on this project, Assentech had a very positive attitude to producing the level of documentation required for a project of this scale. Leading to a high quality pre construction packaged approved in a timely manner. The communication regarding the manufacturing process was first class allowing us to easily plan our works and prepare the site. Dome assembly was carried out very efficiently and completed to programme. The task was correctly resourced and well supervised. The work force had a positive attitude and carried out the task safely. In summary from my perspective it has been a very easy subcontract to manage with a high quality finished product.
