    Overview The ECAT is a self-contained, quarter-turn, valve actuator that combines proven technologies from Emerson’s Valve Automation. The actuator has been designed for critical shutdown applications where reliability is crucial. The ECAT utilizes a hydraulic accumulator, pressurized with the pipeline gas, as a stored energy source in order to actuate the actuator / valve open or closed.
