Green hydrogen production

Green hydrogen refers to H2 produced from water utilizing surplus renewable energy by the process of electrolysis.

Our valves portfolio already fulfils the requirements of electrolysis applications as for the PEM, AWE or SOEC electrolyzers of both today and tomorrow.

Transportation of hydrogen

The transportation of hydrogen typically requires either compression or liquification. Longer distance transportation is covered by tankers carrying liquid hydrogen or the less energy-intensive liquid carriers (LHC).

Whether hydrogen is carried liquefied or by using ammonia (NH3) or the organic subset of liquid carrier (LOHC), Valmet is one of the few valve manufacturers that has the capacity and capabilities needed to deliver.

Green hydrogen utilization

Green hydrogen has many uses in the industrial gas sector. It is most often applied to fertilizer production with Ammonia synthesis or as feedstock for chemicals.

Our long-term experience in the refinery and chemical industries also help to make the usage of emission-free produced gases and liquids such as eAmmonia, eMethane, Methanol and eHydrocarbons more efficient.

Another important future usage is seen with the green fueling of fuel gas turbine. Our segment and ball valves help reach the higher pressure classes required due to the H2 enrichment of the fuel gas.

Carbon capture and storage (CCS)

Carbon capture as a means of eliminating harmful CO2 emissions into the atmosphere is a key factor in developing more sustainable industrial processes.

Each of these processes will benefit from Valmet's reliable, durable and high-quality valves.

Most CO2-removal, for instance in Steam Methane Reforming (SMR), are done by Pressure Swing Adsorbtion (PSA), see more information on page Valves for swing adsorption

Hydrogen production

As the significance of responsible and sustainable industrial processes increases, the role of green and blue hydrogen as carbon-neutral fuel produced from surplus renewable energy or through CO2 removal, respectively, will continue to grow. Find the correct valve assembly for your production.

Ammonia production

Ammonia synthesis is used to produce ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen. We offer a good selection of suitable valves for ammonia synthesis loop – ensuring safe and reliable operation plus long service life.

Energy transition and the move toward greener energy production is a hot topic also for our flow control customers who are exploring and investing in new ways to produce more sustainable energy. What is the biggest challenge for valves? What is the winning technology for producing future energy?

Hydrogen is hard on valves

Jul 16, 2023

Under pressure, the hydrogen molecule H2 cracks metal and can even penetrate steel. Hydrogen fracture weakens the tensile strength and ductility of steel, which reduces its resistance to fracture and causes cracking.

Stock parts and ensure availability

Dec 2, 2022

Over recent years we have witnessed several events which only a decade ago would have been unthinkable. We all remember the photos of the small digger trying to free the massive cargo ship from the banks of Suez Canal, and we can still feel the effects of the viral pandemic. Moreover, the ever more frequent extreme weather patterns, such as floods and hurricanes, impose an additional uncertainty. There is clearly much more unpredictability around us. Just as the physical environment changes, so ...

Validated processes and competency enable long-term, safe operation of oxygen service valves

Aug 4, 2022

Oxygen service valves operate in one of the process industry’s most hazardous environments. Oxygen is not flammable but supports and accelerates combustion. This means that oxygen service valves need to be designed, manufactured, tested and maintained to prevent this by mitigating the ignition source and contact with fuel. This article focuses mainly on cleaning, inspection methods and guidance on packaging, storage, installation, operation, and maintenance.
