In my opinion, Valmet has always highlighted sustainable development in its business goals.

How is pulp and paper linked with textile industry disruption?

The textile industry is on the verge of a major disruption. The sustainability challenges stemming from the environmental impacts and social aspects of conventional textile value chains are increasingly recognized, and there are growing demands to do something about it.

Creating the future of textile recycling, together

Currently, only 1 % of material in clothing is recycled into new clothing. Read how Valmet can support our partners to create new fiber-to-fiber textile recycling possibilities for the future with already existing product portfolio, pilot facilities and strong process knowledge.

Increase polymerization process efficiency with reliable valves

Petrochemicals have seen tremendous growth in the last decades and many studies suggest that there will be an increasing focus on petrochemicals in the future as well. While the Covid-19 pandemic impacted the demand in the industry, it also saw a surge in the usage of polymers for example in the medical and packaging industry. Demand for masks, personal protective equipment’s, etc. increased while demand in e-commerce and many people preferring packed foods increased demand in the packaging industry.

Things to consider in valve selection for catalytic cracking

Reliable and accurate control, on-off and ESD-valve performance is important for total process efficiency, productivity and safety. Here’s presented some of the key-applications and things to consider in selecting valves for a typical FCCU.

Sieving molecules

Adsorption and molecular sieve technologies have been widely used throughout various processing industries for decades to separate hydrocarbons or dry gases. Automation, including switching valve selection has an important role to play in the successful and sustainable molecular sieve adsorption process, often critical for the whole process plant availability.

Intelligent solenoid valves: slash time and costs with knowledge

When a refinery in South America was approaching its scheduled three-year maintenance shutdown, it decided to take advantage of the information provided from its intelligent solenoid valves. Earlier, the refinery had decided to install these valves on every emergency shutdown (ESD) valve to identify degradation by using partial stroke testing (PST) for these critical valves.

Estimating liquid vapor pressure for control valve sizing purposes

Included in the process of sizing a control valve for liquid service is the requirement for determining if flow will be choked.
