About Us

In 1973, when founder Bob Drue started Associated Flow Controls it was a company that primarily dealt with natural gas, oil, and engineering companies in Northern California. Less than two years later, while continuing to deal with the natural gas industry, Associated Flow Controls began servicing the steam industry.

Our knowledge and impact on the steam industry and their control requirements has grown steadily over the last 4 decades, and so has our market base. In fact there is not an industry which we do not currently service.

Associated Flow Controls prides itself on not only supplying the product, but in the relations we build after the sale, through our extensive product knowledge and experienced sales/field support team.

Services

CONDENSATE RECOVERY

(OPEN SYSTEM)

Pumping high temperature condensate without cavitation and no mechanical seals to create problems. Provides maximum heat energy recovery

CONDENSATE REMOVAL FROM PROCESS VESSELS & HEAT EXCHANGERS

(OPEN SYSTEM)

Fast, efficient condensate removal ensuring optimum process efficiency and heat energy recovery.

Instantaneous Steam-Fired Water Heater

(CLOSED SYSTEM)

 Removal of condensate under all pressure conditions ensures stable air temperatures. Also, prevents bottom end tube corrosion and potential damage due to water hammer and freezing.

CONDENSATE REMOVAL AND FLASH RECOVERY

(CLOSED SYSTEM)

 To reclaim high temperature condensate and recovery of the fl ash steam to supplement low pressure steam requirements.
