    BelGAS – PSX2 Over/Under Pressure Slam Shut Safety Device

    BelGAS, a global leader in the design and manufacture of high- and low-pressure regulator products for the natural gas industry, introduces the PSX2 Over/Under Pressure Slam Shut Device. Offering critical protection to downstream applications, the PSX2 automatically shuts down the downstream flow of gas when pressure exceeds either upper or lower set limits.

    The PSX2 is the only device of its kind that is made in the USA, where it is crafted of quality steel and aluminum construction at the BelGAS plant in Newell, West Virginia. A full inventory is stocked and ready for shipment throughout North America, with a team of 40 engineers on staff in the event that custom solutions are needed for specific applications.

    “We are able to alter materials to suit customer needs and can even make design adjustments so the product is the perfect fit,” said Andrew Marra, national sales manager.

    The PSX2 works as a secondary component to BelGAS Series P200 and P300 regulators to protect downstream operations and equipment should the outlet pressure of the main regulator exceed the set point. Once tripped, the PSX2 requires a manual reset to reintroduce the flow downstream, an added safety benefit that encourages investigation and inspection.

    “Natural gas utilities throughout North America are becoming increasingly aware of the need for these devices,” said Marra. “The wildfires on the West Coast vividly illustrate why there is sometimes a need to rapidly shut down gas flow. Other instances might be less dramatic, but still demonstrate a need to preserve safety.”

    Each PSX2 unit is manufactured, assembled, and tested in-house at the BelGAS plant. The PSX2 is available with either internal or external registration. BelGAS is accepting orders now.

    Tina Olivero

    30 years ago, Tina Olivero looked into the future and saw an opportunity to make a difference for her province and people. That difference came in the form of the oil and gas sector. Six years before there was even a drop of oil brought to the shores of Newfoundland, she founded The Oil and Gas Magazine (THE OGM) from a back room in her home on Signal Hill Road, in St. John’s, Newfoundland. A single mother, no financing, no previous journalism or oil and gas experience, she forged ahead, with a creative vision and one heck of a heaping dose of sheer determination. With her pioneering spirit, Ms. Olivero developed a magazine that would educate, inspire, motivate and entertain oil and gas readers around the world — She prides herself in marketing and promoting our province and resources in unprecedented ways. The OGM is a magazine that focuses on our projects, our people, our opportunities and ultimately becomes the bridge to new energy outcomes and a sustainable new energy world. Now diversifying into the communications realms, a natural progression from the Magazine, The OGM now offers an entirely new division - Oil & Gas Media. Today, The Oil and Gas Magazine is a global phenomenon that operates not only in Newfoundland, but also in Calgary and is read by oil and gas enthusiasts in Norway, Aberdeen, across the US and as far reaching as Abu Dhabi, in the Middle East. Believing that Energy is everyone’s business, Ms. Olivero has combined energy + culture to embrace the worlds commitment to a balance of work and home life as well as fostering a foundation for health and well being. In this era of growth and development business and lifestyle are an eloquent mix, there is no beginning or end. Partnering with over 90 oil and gas exhibitions and conferences around the world, Ms. Olivero's role as a Global Visionary is to embrace communication in a way that fosters oil and gas business and industry growth in new and creative ways.
