How the right wear protection materials can extend valve lifetimes

Valve World magazine 'Top of mind' story | “If the wear protection materials are properly specified, valves can successfully contribute major improvements in process availability.”

Making a big difference to ethylene project engineering

As demand for ethylene rises, so does the need for valve solutions that offer maximum reliability, safety and performance. After safety, uptime is a major determinant of whether an ethylene plant can be sustainably profitable in an increasingly competitive global market.

Valve expertise secures Naantali power plant’s reliability

The power plant process involves challenging conditions, and the plant must remain on stream continuously. Control valves are a small but important part of the process: they control flow and keep the power plant’s process stable, helping to ensure that the plant operates efficiently. This is why Neles’ valves were chosen for Turun Seudun Energiantuotanto Oy’s (TSE) new power plant in Naantali, Finland.

Rangeability - Ask the flow control expert

The term rangeability does not have a well-established definition. It is usually defined in vague terms. Basically, there are two definitions of rangeability: one for inherent rangeability, and the other for installed rangeability

Correct valve installations double the operational lifespan at Tarkwa mine

Seemingly minor details can make a major difference in unplanned costs. Valves are small, yet essential part of mining industry processes, and if problems with the valves should occur, it can lead to unplanned downtime and the equivalent losses in output.
