Strengthening safety and reliability through fuel gas valve modernization

In refinery operations, safety‑related fuel gas services play a critical role in protecting people, assets, and the environment. Maintaining the integrity and performance of these systems requires equipment that is not only reliable but also designed to meet evolving safety expectations. For one North American refinery, a long‑term modernization program has focused on upgrading safety‑critical valves across the site.

Efficient valve instrumentation

Automated process valves actuated by pneumatic actuators always need pneumatic and/or electro-pneumatic instrumentation components to build up the specific functionalities required for each application. Typically, these instrumentation components are mounted all around the actuator. The number of instrumentation components available in the market is huge. Additionally, even the most common functionalities can be built in many different ways.

Small decisions, big significance

Industrial gas processes are known to have high requirements on absolute gas production plant availability. Maximal availability is ...

Flow control innovations in wastewater treatment

Wastewater treatment facilities face increasingly complex challenges in managing diverse chemical processes, ensuring environmental compliance and optimising operational efficiency. As the industry evolves to meet stricter regulations and sustainability goals, the demand for sophisticated flow control equipment has grown. This article explores recent developments in flow control technology for wastewater treatment, including contributions from companies such as Valmet. 

What should you look for in a partner for valves in oxygen service?

To many of us oxygen is the air we breathe to sustain life. But many of our industrial customers know that it is a volatile gas that requires extra care and knowhow when dealing with it in a process environment. We in Valmet’s flow control business have the needed experience to help you select and maintain the best possible valve solutions for oxygen service.

Testing and simulations guarantee reliable process efficiency for valves

Want to know how superior product design is achieved? High quality and robust design reflect on the reliability and performance of valves. We interviewed Tommi Bergström, Manager, Engineering Analysis, about the design process behind the new modular butterfly valve platform.

Energy transition in flow control – Carbon capture success with a partner

Energy transition and the move towards greener energy production is a hot topic globally. Flow control customers are also exploring and investing in new ways to produce more sustainable energy. A while ago, Valmet and Grønbech reported that we had delivered 20 control valves for a CCUS project in Denmark. The project is part of an initiative to help the Danish government meet its target of a 70 percent reduction in CO2 emissions in the country by 2030

Why the evolving pulp, paper and bioproducts industry trusts the new modular Neldisc butterfly valve?

Valmet's flow control business line has a strong history when it comes to valve solutions for the pulp & paper industry. Like many other valves over the years, the Neles™ Neldisc butterfly valve was originally born in the 1970s to specifically serve in pulp and paper mills. Its strong performance gave it a universal appeal beyond just pulp & paper. Today, after undergoing much development, it is still a go-to valve for the rapidly evolving pulp, paper and bioproducts industry.

History of the Neles Q-Trim technology

One of our best-known flow control brands, Q-BALL™, has its roots in 1978  when a French “valve expert” Roger Bey presented his low noise and anti-cavitation solution developed for the ball valve to Antti Nelimarkka, the founder of Neles company (now Valmet's flow control business line). Q-BALL was the very first brand in famous Q-Trim™ technology aiming to reduce noise in control valves.
