Severe Service & Maintenance Reliability Summit
SEPTEMBER 24TH, 2026 | Keeping Your Operation In MotionA one-day technical summit on keeping severe-service valves online—HF alkylation, delayed coker, and high-pressure isolation—plus the turnaround strategies that cut unplanned downtime.
About the Event
Where ordinary repair programs fail
Severe service is where standard valve programs break down—thermal cycling in delayed coker service, corrosive attack in HF alkylation units, and the high-pressure isolation duty that turns a small leak into an unplanned outage.
This summit brings reliability engineers, turnaround planners, and maintenance leaders together with the JS Machine & Valve technical team to work through the failure modes that drive downtime—and the repair, modification, and testing strategies that prevent them. Since 1974, JS has been one of North America’s premier valve repair centers for complex machining, modification, and factory-certified repair.
