Inhlanganisela eyingqayizivele ye-Hikelok yezinhlelo zama-valve ezivinjiwe kabili kanye ne-bleed ivumela ukushintshela okubushelelezi kusuka ohlelweni lwamapayipi enqubo kuya ekusetshenzisweni kwezinsimbi, okuhlinzeka ngamaphuzu ambalwa okuvuza okungenzeka, isisindo esiphansi esifakiwe, kanye nesikhala esincane.
Ama-valve e-Hikelok block kanye ne-bleeding aklanyelwe izindawo zokuhlukanisa amapayipi enqubo, ukufakelwa ngqo kumathuluzi, ukuhlanganiswa okuseduze kwezinsimbi, i-double block kanye ne-bleed isolation, imigodi yomoya kanye nemisele yamanzi.
I-Hikelokungomunye wabakhiqizi abangochwepheshe abahamba phambili bama-valve ezinsimbi kanye nokufakwa kwazo eShayina.Ukukhetha nokuhlola izinto eziqinile, ubuchwepheshe bokucubungula obusezingeni eliphezulu, ukulawulwa kwenqubo yokukhiqiza okubushelelezi kanye nabasebenzi bokukhiqiza nokuhlola abangochwepheshe abahambisa imikhiqizo, okudala amakhulu ekhwalithi ephezuluamavalvufuthiizinto zokufaka. Kuyisinqumo esingcono kakhulu sokuthenga kwakho okukodwa, okusindisa isikhathi namandla.
Ngemva kweminyaka eminingi yemizamo, iHikelok isibe ngumhlinzeki wamakhasimende adumile njengeSinopec, PetroChina, CNOOC, SSGC, Siemens, ABB, Emerson, TYCO, Honeywell, Gazprom, Rosneft kanye neGeneral Electric. IHikelok ithole udumo olukhulu kumakhasimende ngenxaukuphathwa kochwepheshe, ubuchwepheshe obuvuthiwe kanye nenkonzo eqotho.
